This state of mind must bu met with wise, gentle, and firm encouragement. I It may well be said that If K'-rum Therapy fails, there Is no method of preventing the appear ance of muscular weakness, Le nieiiibcr only 25 per cent of Infan tile paralysis cases are paralyzed. As soon, however, as paralysis de velops, steps shuuld be taken for perfi-ct ret, and to thwart the de velopment of contractures, short ening of muscles. The bed clothing should lie held off the foot or arm or affected part. As soon as tho child will permit, because of iho disappearance, of tenderness, the ; at 'feet ed muscle should be gently ' massaged. For the first week this should amount to only the slightest smoothing upwards of th muscle. I Casslve manipulation should pro-' grewi gradually to the stage of ac tive use of the muscle, often as.sis-' ted by the use of apparatus. Too . keen urging of the use of the pnra- j lyxed or weakened muscle In the early weeks is undesirable. One of the most encouraging features of i Hie work, directed t the restora- tlon of power, is the fact that there is an enormous natural tendency! to recover of tho injured nerve ! renters. Jtocovery is slow. Un- remitting attention to the detail of massage and exercise should be -continued hopefully for several years. Many cases whlrti appeared hopeless at the outset go otl to as- t founding Improvement or recovery. If the management of the first wr-eks and months of the paralysis Is properly carried out. there , should never again appear the frightful examples of crippling and deformity which have character ized tfle disease In the past and made It such a hideous menace.
