Ninety six crippled children from Utah county were among 127 crippled children seen in Provo June 22 and 23.

The disease often shows signs after fever and restlessness, with stiffness of the back and neck as a serious indicator. Early medical attention and possible specialist consultation can lessen crippling effects.
