CHAPTER 88
The infantile paralysis epidemic of
1916 prei*?nte«l so many symptoms
similar to the symptoms of pigeons
and chickens suffering from poly
neuritis as a result of "feeding upon
denatured and demlncralized grain
foods, sneh as white flour and com
mercial t'ornmcal. that Professor
Simon Baruch called the phenom
enon to the attention of the Health
Commissioner of the City of New
York. "Denatured foods "constitute
the chief cause of infantile par
alysis," is the substance of Profes
sor Baruch's conclusions.
In June. 1916, an epidemic of In
fantile paralysis broke out in Brook
lyn, X. V.
The disease spread so rapidly that
tfter 187 deaths had been reported in
New York City and hundreds of cases
discovered in eleven States and Can
ada, Health Commissioner Haven
Emerson announced that he would
appeal to the National Red Cross
for help.
Three thousand three hundred phy

FRIDAY EVENING,
Health Department Informed the
public that the United States Public
Health Service and the Rockefeller
Institute would begin active work at
once to assist in stamping out the
scourge.
Fifty-five street playgrounds were
ordered closed. Every children's
reading room In Manhattan and
Brooklyn was closed. Sunday schools
were closed. Summer camps were
broken up.
Dr. Lewis C. Ager called for public
subscriptions to buy bracers and
other supporting devices for victims
of the disease.
At the Kingston Avenue Hospital in
Brooklyn a hundred Bradford frames,
plaster of paris bandages, and a
maker of braces were called for.
"Of the 293 children with infantile
paralysis in the Kingston Avenue
Hospital." said Dr. Ager, "75 per
cent, will have legs or arms badly de
formed."
Extra calls were sent out am
bulances. The Health Department
commandeered eleven automobiles
from other departments in order to
respond to the frantic appeals.
Eminent scientists publicly an
nounced that they did not know the
reason for the spread of the disease
nor did they understand why chil
dren presented so little resistance
to it.
Then came this remarkable state
ment, July 9. 1916, from Professor
Simon Baruch, who diagnosed the
first recorded case of perforating ap
pendicitis successfully operated on
and who is one of the foremost mem
bers of the American medical pro
fession.
"The obscurity of the origin of in
fantile paralysis ana the mode of
diffusion, together with its fatality
and crppling results, strikes terror
into the hearts of the people an
extent unknown since the shotgun
; quarantine of yellow fever," declares
Professor Baruch.
"Just as the latter gave way to an
enlightened public sentiment due to
the discovery that the fatal disease is
not due to 'foites' (babbage). and
supposed carriers, but to Inoculation
by a certain kind of mosquito, so will
the present unreasoning apprehension
disappear when the real cause of in
fantile paralysis is discovered.
"For several months I have w-atch
ed the scientific development of the
malign influence of defective or ab
sent vitamines in certain foods, as
published in the weekly reports of the
United States Public Health Service,
together -with articles in the medical
journals on beri-berl and pellagra.
"Pigeons fed on polished rice are
affected by paralysis technically called
polyneuritis, which begins with loss
of weight and ends fatally. Dr. Sidell
found that pigeons fed on this ex
clusive diet did not get paralyzed
(within the two months of experiment
at least) if they were given also some
otherwise useless yeast products (rich
in mineral salts) from the brewery
vats which are usually wasted. He
has also shown that if this waste ma
terial be given to a pigeon already
paralyzed it will recover within an
hour and to all appearances it will be
normal in twelve hours.
"There is a striking similarity in
some of the causes predisposing to
Infantile paralysis and berl-berl. Both
occur chiefly in overcrowded localities
in hot weather, and more among
males than females. Both are ac
companied by fever and paralysis,
and both are extremely fatal. Both
have prevailed as epidemics, and
their fatality has caused terror and
despair.'
"Berl-beri was formerly regarded
as an infectious disease from undis
coverable sources, but is now known
to be due chiefly if not solely to ab
sence of vitamines in the diet, of the
Japanese and others, as in a reported
epidemic among Norwegian fishermen.
"May not Infantile paralyss, which
has eluded thus far the most search
ing investigations, be likewise trace
able to some defect in diet that may
be discovered by the able officers ac
tively engaged in research? I regard
this result as probable.
"We have a clue to the possibilities
In this direction in the report of the
United States Public Health Service
of April 17, 1916, on bread as food,
in which the fact is clearly brought
out that the fine roller milled wheat
flour Is devoid of vitamines, and that
owing to the use of baking powders
containing bicarbonate of soda the
vitamines in other foods are likely to
be destroyed.
"In a study of pellagra in South
Carolina. VoeghtlUi regards this
malady as somewhat related to beri
beri. He found that this disease pre
vailed In the factory districts, where
people eat mostly fat bacon, cereals
and soda raised biscuits or corn bread
made of highly milled corn, while
In the backwoods, where coarsely mill
ed grain is used, pellegra is rare.
The high cost of vitamlne-contain
ing foods, like eggs, milk and meats,
makes It Impossible for these poor
people to protect themselves against
FROM TRENCHES
TO BALL GROUND
Canadians, Blood-Stained,
Come From Inferno, Sleep,
Then Play Baseball
Headquarters of the British Army
|in France. June 30 (correspondence
, of the Associated Press).—These young
j Canadians in Khaki playing baseball
lln a Belgian pasture could tell you
what the shell fire at Verdun was like.
They had been under It—the worst
that has been known on the British
front. Around them was the utter
quiet of the countryside; in the dis
-1 tance the guns were still growling
j around Sorrel Hill, Sanctuary Wood
and Hooge, the scene of the Germans'
j greatest battle ir. France.
Mud-stained, blood.stalned, they had
come away from the bloody piles of
| dirt which had been their trenches
: and after a long sleep had wondered
' why they were alive and started to
: play baseball to pass the time till
! they should go into the trenches again.
I They had besn ir. the thick of it from
S.SO a. m. till 1.30 p. m. on June 2.
right in the apex of the Ypres salient,
j that bend in the line which had stuck
out as invitingly to the Germans as
i the Verdun salient for more than a
: year.
The Germans could arrange their
guns in a fan-shape around it as they
i could at Verdun; and they did. When
| their guns began to speak the British
guns spoke back; and even the old
j inhabitant* of the Ypres salient agreed
that it was the worst ever. Nobody on
the spot ever supposed that there were
so many guns in either the German or
I the British army.
"Silent Lizzies" Speak
But the officer inside the farmhouse
sitting at the farmer's dining-room
j table could tell all about It—his small
i part of it. He and his men had been
i in and out of the trenches on their
shifts till they were quite used to the
monotony of the trench life and the
daily wastage. The morning of June 2
was very quiet. A general who was
taken prisoner afterward was making
an inspection. An occasional crack of
a bullet overhead and an occasional
shot In answer! At 8.30 the inferno
broke without any more warning than
a boiler explosion. They always do,
British, or French, or German.
"Five-point nine" (that new 5.9-inch
j German shell), "whiz-bangs," trench
; mortar shells and "Silent Lizzies" (a
! naval gun shell of high velocity which
j is not heard coming until it bursts).
"X knew what we were in for," said
the officer.
Anybody with any experience at the
front would know. At any time either
side wants to concentrate its artillery
on a certain frontage of trench, that
frontage is bound to go down, and the
attacking side can rush its infantry in
and take the debris. The difficulty is
to hold It. This time the shells were
coming from the front and both sides.
According to the usual system, they
were laid on both the front and the
support trenehss with a curtain of fire
between the two.
Stuck Through Fire
"You know the kind of country it
is," this quiet young officer from To
ronto went on.
Nature as well as the shells is
against the soldier. If he digs a trench,
water fills It. Mostly he must depend
on sandbags—roofs and walls of sand
bags. He cannot dig cellars twenty feet
under the earth and crawl into them
when the "cloudburst of hell" descends
as in the hilly and mountainous coun
try. So nobody ever has a good word
to say about the Ypres salient except
the peasants. The soil Is rich.
"We had no orders to go," said the
officer. "We stuck."
They could not Are back at those
guns thousands of yards away with
1 their rifles. No one was showing his
head In the German trench opposite.
If a man leaned over a section of para
• pet, remaining to fire, he and it might
jbe blown away by another shell. The
j onlv thing to do was for each man to
j find any kind of cover he could in a
fresh shell hole if no parapet remained
and wait. Messengers in such in
j stances, be it the British or German
side, have one chance of five in sur
i viving if they try to go or come from
the rear.
Five hours of this! Then at 1.30 in
the afternoon orders to retreat did
I arrive.
That officer from Toronto gathered
the remnants of his command under
the showers of shrapnel bullets and in
the midst of geysers from the high ex
plosives. Just as he was starting the
tornado ceased. This meant
the German infantry charge. As the
i Canadians started taking what cover
they could in a half-obliterated com
munication trench they had a glimpse
over their shoulders of the Germans
arriving. German rifle and machine
gun fire followed them on their way
back to the support trenches, taking a
final toll; then the British guns turned
their tornado on the Germans In their
new positions ar.d the support trenches
blazed their rifle fire into German
charges.
Shell Cuts Coat
Another officer in another farmhouse
- -this one from British Columbia. He
is pleased with the coat he wore when
he went through a curtain of fire. A
piece of shell had cut a big rent under
the arm without even penetrating
through his undershirt.
"Some luck, eh?" he said. 'T had a
hunch that I would come through all
right when I started."
His orders were to go up in rein
forcement. He went. One shell struck
in the midst of t>. platoon and got only
one man. That was "some luck." too.
Men fell, but the command went on to
the counter attack.
"Those who are in the thick of it
certainly get it hot," said another of
ficer. "Each company in the thick of
it thinks for the time being that It Is
fighting the whole war. Its casualty
list looks pretty bad. But when you
take the losses of a division as a whole
you are surprised at the small per
centage."
SENATE PASSES
BIG ARMY BILL
[Continued From First Page]
reported to the Senate for passage by
the Military AfTairs Committee.
Some of the important provisions of
the Senate bill as it now stands are:
Material Increase for army trans
portation, machine guns, aeroplanes,
armored motorcars, ammunition and
supplies.
Modification of authority granted
President In House bill to take over
the loss of vitamines in purchased
cereal foods.
"It may be of interest to ascertain
if infantile paralysis has been more
prevalent since 1878, when the new
milling processes were invented. I
omitted to mention as proof of simi
larity of causes that the experiments
made on pigeons have been confirmed
in chickens, which fed on whole corn
remain healthy, while the same fowls
fed on highly milled cornmeal are
affected with paralysis.
"These briefly stated scientific facts
lead me to believe that close scrutiny
of the food of the children afflicted
may lead to the discovery of a dietetic
cause of infantile paralysis. Voeght
lin correctly concludes his fine article
that "in studying the etiology (causes)
of any disease which is assumed to be
of dietary origin, it js essential to pay
careful attention to what might ap
pear on superficial examination as
trivial details."
