Evidence is available that it existed at least 3700 B.C. Experimental work did not begin, however, on this disease agent until 1908, when and Popper were successful in transmitting the disease to monkeys. Nature of the Virus g The agent is a virus belonging to the same group of disease agents that produce measles, mumps, yellow fever, influenza and encephalitis. Viruses differ from bacteria in several respects. Bacteria, germs or microbes, cause diseases such as scarlet fever, boils and abwhooping scesses, diphtheria, of a other host and types of cough seen be can infection. Bacteria microwith the aid of an ordinary scope. Bacteria will grow, not only in the body, but also may be cultured on lifeless foodsch as meat broth, milk, and various other foodstuffs. Viruses, on the other hand, are invisible under the ordinary microscope and will pass through filters that hold back or retain bacteria. The polio virus is one of the tiniest known disease agents, being a little less than of an inch in one diameter. The polio virus, like other viruses, fails to grow unless living tissue cells are available for food. This virus has a special attraction to nerve cells of the spinal cord and the base of the brain. Destruction of these nerve cells causes paralysis. Cultivation of the Virus Man is the only naturally susceptible host. Monkeys can be given the disease experimentally but guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, etc. are completely resistant. These latter resistant animals can be of thousands with injected monkey paralytic doses of the virus, with no illness whatever therefore, Monkeys, developing. are the only dependable experimental animal that can be used for the study of this disease. Since monkeys cost $35 each, and their care is expensive, the cost of poliomyelitis research is exorbi- tant.

Another method of virus culture has been devised by Dr. J. F. Enders of Harvard University. This method consists of growing monkey or human tissue cells in a special fluid in test tubes. Virus is added to these growing cells and the virus attacks and destroys the cells in from five to seven days. This tissue culture method is less expensive than using monkeys, but certain kinds of research must still require the animal testing method. This tissue culture virus is the one which is being used to develop a preventive vaccine. Where the Virus is Found The virus of poliomyelitis may be isolated from the throat and from the fecal material of per- sons ill with the disease, and from nervous tissue of persons dying of the disease. The virus may also be isolated from sewage, particularly during the summer months. The virus seems to be quite hardy and resistant, staying alive in sewage water for several months. It can be stored for many box. years in the dry-ic- e The virus is, however, quickly destroyed by boiling a minute or two, and also is destroyed by strong chemicals such as formaldehyde. The virus is not affected by any presently known antibiotics, such as penicillin, aureo-mycin, etc. Types of Viruses Three types of poliomyelitis viruses have been isolated. Each one produces the same type of disease in man, there being no distinguishing features of the disease with any of the types. Any one of the three types may produce death in one person; another person may be severely paralyzed, while again with the same virus type, another individual develops such mild symptoms that a diagnosis is impossible. On recovery from the disease, the immunity produced by Type 1 will offer no immunity for Types 2 or 3. Therefore, the immunity produced in man or monkeys is specific for each type and theoretically one could have the disease three times. Recovery from one type will produce a lifelong immunity for that specific type. of the adult About the disease had have population that they foim mild a in such of the illaware have not been ness, and are immune to the specific type which produce the disease. 70-75- j THE RAINBOWS THAT COME IN CANS Remember the last time you took a can of paint and stirred it up with a little imagination and some brushwork? Well bet it gave you a different slant on bfe, whether it brightened a part of your house or gave a cliilds toy a colorful look. To help make your life brighter and easier todays paints come in every tint and hue of the rainbow. Best of all, the modern miracle paints come to you ready to use. Americas paint industry and the American Can Company virtually grew up together. The paint companies worked out formulas for ready-mixe- d paints that do about just any special job you have in mind. Meanwhile, Canco developed f practical containers, with leak-proo- their now familiar double-clinccovers, to keep paint fresh during shipping h and storage, until you are ready to use it. New plants and whole new industries were able to get started when Canco developed the right container for ready-mixe- d paints. This meant new and better jobs, and a higher level of prosperity for us all. Yes, by making better cans not only for paints but for just about everything you can think of Canco has been able to help all Americans eat better, live better and work better. We can be proud of such teamwork between our people and our business enterprises. Thats what makes America such a satisfying country to live and work in. And it promises a future for us all. bright as paint AMERICAN CAN COMPANY CONTAINERS . , , to help people live belter |
