...second week of August, more than 1,200. Last year's epidemic spread from New York into New England, touched other parts of the country lightly, ran a three-month course. For those who feared that hot weather would bring another epidemic this year, Director William Hallock Park of the Bureau of Laboratories of New York's Department of Health had reassuring words last week. Said he: "Experience of health authorities all over the world indicates that a community which has suffered an extensive outbreak of poliomyelitis one year will escape a recurrence for from five...
...William Hallock Park now was less sanguine concerning deliberately cultivated serums for this particular disease. Last season horse serum seemed to do no more good than convalescent serum from humans who had had severe attacks of infantile paralysis, which, contrary to prior reasoning, was little or no good at all. Per-haps parents and physicians notice infantile paralysis too late for serums to take effect. On the presumption that most people have had a mild attack of infantile paralysis, which they did not notice but which nonetheless protects them against further assaults, Dr. Park's associates last season injected...

Said he: "We found that the percentage of cases which developed the paralytic symptoms was about the same as in the cases in which the serum was not used. No harm resulted from the treatment.

...prepared from living bovine tuberculosis germs. The germs are cultured for many germ generations in glycerinated ox-gall until they become non-virulent. If fed to infants in three doses during the first ten days of life, the vaccine is supposed to immunize them against tuberculosis. Dr. William Hallock Park, director of the New York civic health laboratories, has certified Dr. Calmette's claims. Last week he said: "We have not had a single accident in the use of the vaccine." Nearly 400,000 French babies and 70,000 Rumanian babes have been given the vaccine. The Hygiene Commission...
...infantile paralysis through the pores of unglazed, fine porcelain. They knew the size of the pores. The filtrate caused the active disease in monkeys. That confirmed the doctors' belief that they possessed the cause of the disease. "A very, very interesting addition to knowledge," said Dr. William Hallock Park, Manhattan's great immunologist...
