Liberalise the compensation By Howard w. (Editor’s Note: This first of three articles science editor Howard W. lee, eaplainlst what Is about take precautions Om disease, it strikes your family.! NeW York, Aug. 3—UP)—Child ren have had polio—infantile par alysis—since ancient times. Today a higher ^proportion recover -WitjtP- This^w the only gain, and all in the present century. The gain comes from better nursing, and not from anything else. Almost everyone has had polio, but only a few,ever become sick. How the disease works in most of us who don’t get ill i$j|n- tirely unknown. But what happens in the sick is well known. It » in your spinal cord. This cord is the cable carry ing nerves from, the brain to branch out, like switchboard wires, to aU parts of your body. i Attacks Spinal Nerves One Set of nerves in this cord governs muscles. Polio chooses, for •Nome mysterious reason, to attack these particular nerves and no others. These nerves are made of i horn-shoped cells, damages colls. Among the nerves, these horn Polio damages or destroys horn cells alone are unable to regenerate themselves. Once gone, they break / 7 | the muscle-nerve cable for life. Without these serves In spine, muscles shrink. ] No part of your body to Polio can strike at any along the spinal cable. hi$i up, it paralyzes hands. If in the hits (he muscles low down, it paralyzes lag muscles. There is an additional poW of attack, in the “bulb," a . thing; half the size of a at the top of your spine.
