So are questions surrounding the mysterious polio bug Itself.

It has never been seen, even ay the most powerful microscopes. There Is only Indirect evidence as to Its size. It's estimated that 25,000 germs could flt on the head of a pin. The risk of a severe polio attack lessens sharply after a child passes age 10. Beyond the age of 20 there Is only about one case In every 100,000 population even during the extensive outbreaks.

Mysteries of Polio Adults rarely suffer a severe or recognizable attack, scientists say, because the vast majority of people are believed to have had polio In a mild form and thus gained a practical Immunity to It without ever being aware of it. It's virtually certain that the disease Is transmitted by "human But It Is still un- in preventing polio in mice and monkeys.

Drawbacks of Drugs There Is evidence that certain drugs can kill polio they would also destroy the body cells In which the virus lurks. For lack of chemical or other weapons to fight the virus directly, doctors generally attack what they term the "symptoms" ather than the disease Itself.

No vaccine has yet proved sufficiently satisfactory to warrant more than limited research use as a possible preventive. So-called "convalescent serum' from the blood of persons who have recovered from polio has been used, but results are Inconclusive. Three Different Strains The search for drugs and vaccines has been complicated by these facts: There are at least three different "strains of the virus, one of them bearing the fancy name "Brunhilde. 1 And within recent (years a virus called Coxsackle has I been discovered which causes symptoms olio Up until was Impossible to "grow" any of he true polio viruses in test ubes.

The general medical concept Is that the virus attacks only the central nervous system and that muscular effects are secondary.

Avoid contact with new groups of people as far as possible. This latter point Is pertinent! to why some authorities caution' against using swimming pools during an epidemic.
