. Acute poliomyelitis, with special reference to the disease in Ohio, and certain transmission experiments . recovery of the paralyzed muscles began. Occasionally aslight elevation of temperature persists for long periods. Usually thefever terminates by a rather sharp lysis. Peabody, Draper and Dochez(28) found that an elevation of temperature in acute poliomyelitis isnot only a constant feature, but is also of short duration. Of fifty-four cases four had a temperature of from degrees F. to F. on the second day, eighteen had an elevation of from roodegrees F. to 104 degrees

Of fifty-four cases four had a temperature of from degrees F. to F. on the second day, eighteen had an elevation of from roodegrees F. to 104 degrees F. on the third to sixth day inclusive, andfour showed an elevation of from 100 degrees F. to 105 degrees F. onthe seventh day to tenth day inclusive. After the fourth day only 11cases carried temperatures over 99 degrees F., while twenty-five hada temperature of 99 degrees F. or less. To the end of the fourth dayfifteen cases had temperatures above 99 degrees F. and only three 99degrees or less.
