From the Lawrence Daily World for Oct. 11, 1909: The infantile paralysis which has been raging over some parts of Kansas has reached Douglas County, hitting a resident near Clinton. A doctor says the case is not serious but could lead to some paralysis rather than becoming a fatality as so often has been the case in the state. There is great fear of a spread of the disease and despite efforts by experts, no cure or prevention has been found. . . . Dr. Beach of Lawrence, who has been treating little Gladys Moss, the Clinton victim, says reports about the dangers of the disease are exaggerated. Others disagree. Gladys is affected in one leg below the knee. Dr. Beach says it is important not to panic while scientists try to find a solution to the problem. . . . Men and women are wanted for the postal service. Railway mail clerks make $800 a year to start and with increases can go as high as $1,200.
