Practitioner Tells of Experience With
Infantile Paralysis Epidemic.
Cottage Grove, (Ire., Kept. 11. (To
the Editor.)— I have been solicited
many times to publish my experience
in the diagnosis and treatment of mye-
litis (infantile paralysis), and menin
gitis. It is often difficult to distin
guisli ..in- from the other us the putho
logical lesion is the spinal cord in both.
Either may produce paralysis. As stat
ed above, the disease is in the spinal
cord, lienee we should search without
ceasing for the cause, mid then the
remedy; for without a knowledge of
the cause, we nre only groping in tin-
dark .
Now for my limited experience with
this dreaded disease and treatment. In
1872 nt Hill's Ferry, on the Him Jon
quin river, California, I treated 52
cases. Not all were infants, but one
third of them were from infancy to 20
years o f age. In IM»4 I had 12 canes
at Junction City, Oregon, nnd two nt
Cottage Grove, Oregon.
In the incipieney of the disease in n
majority o f eases, the temperature is
below noriniil, pulse rapid opistholonius
and puin in the bnek with delirium and
in many cases spasmodic twitching* in
the limbs or even a general convulsion
may occur. Walking soon becomes d if
ficult. A paraplegia develops in a few
hours and tin- temperature will go a*
high as 104. The sphincter* nre ill*
turbed nnd there i* constipation nnd in
continence, etc.
It would be folly for me to attempt
to explain the enuae when modern med
ical science is not nble to do so. How
ever I have noticed that rny experience
always has been in a malarial district.
May it not be possible thut some insect,
such as the mosquito, as in malaria or
yellow fever, or the flea, or the tick, I*
the spreading »gent?
My treatment was suggested from the
symptoms as I knew nothing o f the
cause. Hence I used what would now
be culled by the profession old fogy
treatment. I’erhaps so, blit I lost only
five per cent o f the patients. I gave n
purge o f calomel and bicarbonate of
soda in all but the sinnll infants, Mis
tered the spine from the neck nil the
way down the spine. The serum or fluid
that came from the blister was o f a
yellow, turbid consistency. I continued
to use the fly blister in almost every
case with good result. I followed up
the purge with sulph. quinia in large
dose with opium to relieve pain. After
a few days I gave strych. sulph. with
chlo. o f gold et sodium.
I am only 80 years old and do not
claim to be a medical writer, but my pa
tients mostly got well. If I had a case
today, I would give the same radical
treatment. Fog will seldom extinguish
