Even paralytic polio cannot be diagnosed as surely as was believed in what Dr. Schuman called "the happy, unenlightened first quarter of this century," because several viruses simulate its signs. Even such time-honored children's infections as measles, German measles and mumps may deceive the physician. So, said...
...Gilbert Dalldorf was called in on many a late-summer and early-fall epidemic of what seemed to be mild polio. Few victims suffered paralysis, and all recovered, often with startling rapidity.
