New York reports Dr. Simon Flexner of the Rockefeller Institute describes infantile paralysis as caused by a micro-organism that invades the spinal cord via nose and throat secretions.

He describes experimental proof in monkeys and discusses immune serum therapies and the virus’s dangerous, elusive nature.
