INFANTILE PARALYSIS.
Owing to the impending danger of
an epidemic of infantile paralysis, Dr.
McCullough, chief, officer, of the heal-
th for Ontario, 'has issued a circular
explaining the nature of the disease
and the care ,which should be taken
to ,'prevent it from spreading when
it appears. The circular is herewith
•oublish,edin full.
What is it?
CAMP BORDEN KNOCKERS,
At the ,present time Camp Borden
is corning in for a lot of unfair crit-
icism and condemnation by unscrup-
ulous friends of the Reform party,
as well as by a number of Ontario
Reform, journals which are deliber-
ately exaggerating conditions and
causing an unrest and discoatent
among the soldiers, for nothing but
purely political purposes, their sole
object being to belittle the efforts
and noble work of Sir Sam Hughes.
It is a recognized fact that the
greater per 'cent, of ,officers in Camp
Borden are of ,Reform ,persuasion,and
they toe have been contributing their
quota, to that unrest and discontent
cal' the pritate who tis willing to be
influextced by these ,political trick-
sters, One incident, the facts of
which come from a thoroughly re-
liable source, was that perpetrated a
few days since by the of ricers on
the soldiers. Orders were given
one dry, hot morning that the boys
should go on parade without their
water bottles, these orders being
reprtsente:l ,ts (taming tram head-
quarters, The boys resented this
kind of treatment, and that justly, but
it was attea•ssards learned that nosucb
orders had ever been sent from head-
quaxters, It was simply another in-
stance of a stab at Sir Sam, and a
dirty piece of ainderhand trickery.
Then again a great deal is said about
the grounds at Camp Borden being
unfit for the ipurpose ler which they
were intended. That toe comes un-
der the ,political ,howl when weighed
in the balances, as as evidenced by
the following,—
"Capt H, A. Trainor, Atautant of
the 149th. Lambton Batta'ten. station-
ed at Camp Borden, in writing to
friends says the new camp ground
is ideal, in every ,respect and that the
boys could not be located in a better
place. According to Capt. Trainer,
the camp is the }best ?n the country
if not in the world. The fittings of
the camp are ;excellent, and he de-
clares that it will be used for many
years as a military :carntp. Speaking
of then water and air he says they can-
not be equalled -anywhere,"
These unscrupulous and unpatriotic
knockers seem to be more concerned
in the slander of Sir Sam Hughes,
than. in assisting Canada to do her
duty as a part of this great Empire.

TI a following instructions regard
tag infantile ,paralysis are .issued by
the Provincial Board of Health.
Infantile (paralysis also called. An-
terior Poliomyelitis, is a communicable
disease. chiefly of children between
the age of two and fourteen years,
Older children and adults may also
be affected by ,the disease.
The cause is unknown. It is known
however .that the agent causing the
disease is present an the secretions of
the nose and mouth ;and in the intes-
tinal tract from being swallowed.
The disease is epidemic in some
United States cities and is appearing
M Canada.
It is believed that infantile paralysis
is spread from one child to another
by nee,ans -of the secretions of the
nose and mouth by direct transfer.
It is possible also that it is spread
b4 flies which have been, in contact
with 'intestinal discharges, It may
become wide spread in country as
well as in ,crowded city districts, and
t ersons wilco ,have been in contact
with cases of the disease may bar-
ba:' the contagion and give it to oth-
ers without contracting the disease
themselves; that is, they are what is
caller "carriers"
What to do about it.
Every ,case must be quaraantiined for
a ;period of six ;weeks
A.11 children who have been in con-
tact. with a case, must be quarantined
and kept under observation for a
period of two ;week's.

Adult members of the family who
are wage earners may be allowed
to go about their ,work subject to
the. ,regulations of the Provincial Board
sinci- on the discretion of the medical
officer of health
Were there is an outbreak, gath-
ings of ohildmen, .such as picnics, pic-
ture shows and playgrounds, should
be .p;;ahibited
The source of origin, of each case
should be carefully iinapired into in
order that proper quanantine may be
maintained
In houses where cases appear all
doors rand windows should be screen-
ed, • the tpmemises kept clean, and no
eccumulatiotn ea garbage or waste per-
mitted
All 'cases should the at once noti-
fied to the medical affider of health
end by him to the chief officer of tire
Provincial Board.
Mild cases showing slight head-
ache rise of temperature and vomit-
ing persisting for a few days with
slight muscular weakness and absence
tel paralysis, should be quarantined.
These are ,probably 'one of the chief
sources of contagion.
As :infantile, ;paralysis is a most ser-
ious disease and in the present epid-
emic . giving a high death rate, the
oubiic . is ur=ged to second the efforts
of authorities in emery way in order
to . tpreveat ''a severe outbreak in
the prrovitnce
All materials, such as cloths, etc.,
carrying* secretions and discharges
tram` 'patients slbould be burned, boil-
ed, or disinfected.
If the disease ,shows any tendency
to spread speceal quarantine measure
may be necessary.

While Sir Robert Borden and his;

gether on how to beat Borden. Such
is Liberal co-operation in .war -time.
