Polio - Infantile Paralysis

Synopsis

When polio strikes some child in a community, it is only natural for all parents in that community to become concerned about their own children. It is well to keep in mind, however, that even during an epidemic the number of persons who get the disease is very small in comparison with the total population. For example, approximately 45,000 cases were reported for the entire United States and Canada in 1949—and this was a bad year.
