AUSTIN—In addition to the gen-
eral instructions for community
sanitation which may be important
in preventing poliomyelitis, Dr.
George W. Cox, State Health Of-
ficer, today is-ued an urgent warn-
ing to every individual in Texas to
practice strict personal hygiene to
protect his own health and that of
those about him.
“Of course, cleanline-a and per-
sonal hygiene are ordinarily taken
for grunted," Dr. C. x ssi,(, ut
alt this time with poliomyelitis
reaching into every section of our
state and with more than 120 caaes
already reported I would like to
re-emphasize some personal sani-
tary measures which may help in
preventing the spread of thiB crip-
pling and often fatal disease." ,
The State Health Officer stressed
the importance of scrupulous clean-
liness of the person. Frequent bath-
ing and immaculately clean cloth-
ing are vitally necessary. Oral hy-
giene with thorough brushing of the
teeth and the use of a mild anti-
septic are recommended. The nasal
passages should be kept clean and
dental defects corrected immediate-

Sanitation and thorough cleanli-
ness in the home are instinctive
with the average housewife, but at
this time their importance to health
must be re-emphasized. Home sani-
tation includes those taken-for-
granted measures such as washing
the dishes in hot soapy water and
rinsing them in hot clear water;
keeping sinks, bathtubs and fixtures
scoured clean and rinsed with a
mild antiseptic solution; sunning
and airing bed clothes, ridding the
the! home of flies, rats and roaches
which, since poliomyelitis is beilev-
ed to be a filth-borne disease, are
suspected as being responsible for
transmission.
“If good personal hygiene is com-
bined with good community sanita-
tion and hygiene it is hard for any
disease to get a foothold." Dr. Cox
said, “With such a dread disease as
poliomyelitis prevalent in every sec-
tion of the state, no precaution
should be overlooked and no bars
should be left down for its en-
trance.’
