Book Description

Excerpt from Acute Poliomyelitis The epidemic of poliomyelitis which swept over the Eastern United States during the past summer and autumn achieved a new record. The number of cases exceeded that of any previous epidemic reported and the mortality approached the maximum recorded. Hence it becomes very desirable to profit by the experience gained in the daily study at the hospital and in the home, at the bedside and in the laboratory, under the exceptional conditions of the epidemic, in order that we may be prepared to meet the future with greater knowledge and confidence.
