INFANTILE THEORY ADVANCED:
Syracuse Doctor Claims Cyanide Poisoning
FromUnripe Fruit Source of Poliomyelitis
SYRACUSE, N.Y., Oct. 2-(A)-
A Syracuse pediatrician, Dr. Ralph
R. Scobey, who firmly believes
cyanide poisoning causes infan-
tile paralysis, has put his finger
on unripe fruit, among other
things, as a source of the dread
disease.
Dr. Scobey's beliefs are publish-
ed in a series of articles in the
Archives of Pediatrics, a month-
ly publication of children's dis-
eases. He makes a double-barreled
claim:-
1. It never has been proved
tat the "virus" of poliomyeli-
05 can cause that disease in
human beings.
2. It has been proved that
polio can be caused by cyanide
poisoning.
His idea of how infantile para-
lysis is caused departs radically
from recognized polio research.
He says that cyanide not only can

produce paralysis in human be-
ings and animals but that it re-
sults in a chemical imbalance in
the body that may have lasting
results. The functions of the thy-
roid gland and the liver are dis-
turbed, Dr. Scobey says.
He adds that polio is only one
of a group of diseases caused by
cyanide poisoning. In this group
he lists goiter and paralytic shell-
fish disease. He says it is possible
that rheumatic fever also results
from cyanide poisoning.
"I do not think," Dr. Scobey
says, "that a micro-organism ex-
ists that can be associated with
poliomyelitis as it affects hu-
man beings. The so-called virus
of poliomyelitis is doubtless a
by-product of the cyanide poi-
soning. This is probably a leu-
comaine or enzyme, which when
injected into experimental ani-
mals can produce or accelerate
the production of cyanide in the
body and thus produce a disease
similar to that resulting in hu-
mans from cyanide."
A major part of Dr. Scobey's
work has been tracing the sources
of cyanide that can affect humans.
He says it is present in varying
amounts in practically all foods.
It also is present in forage and in
polluted water. Some types of
bacteria can produce cyanide.
He says cabbage, cauliflower,
cereal and forage grasses, peach-
es, cherries, linseed, and even milk
contain cyanide. The source of
the cyanide in plants, he says, is
cyanogenic glucosides. These are
found in relatively large amounts
when plants are unripened. Also
he reports that cyanide content is
high during drouths.
There is little danger of polio,
he says, unless these cyanogenic
glucosides are acted upon by an
enzyme contained in the plant
or by an acid. However, he adds,
silver polish that contains cy-
anide may result in cyanide poi-
soning.
Organic matter, containing cy-
anogenic glucosides, carried into
streams and larger bodies of water,
breaks down into cyanide. This
vegetable matter furnishes food
for micro-organisms which like-
wise produce cyanide. Dr. Scobey
says the cyanide can be absorbed
through the skin and this possibly
explains why bathing beaches
have been suspected as sources of
infantile paralysis during epidem-
ics.

HAROLD WILSON-...
"BOY WONDER"-of British
Labor government, becomes the
president of England's Board of
Trade to succeed Sir Stafford
Cripps who was made Minister
of Economic Affairs. Wilson's
appointment was termed indica-
tive of decision to introduce new
blood into Labor regime.
Gaertner Will
Judge Exhibit
Carl F. Gaertner, painter, illus-
trator and etcher will judge the
local paintings to be exhibited by
the Ann Arbor Art Association
beginning Oct. 6.
Awards will be given for the
five paintings judged superior by
Mr. Gaertner. First prize will be
$75, the second prize $50, and $25
will be given as third prize. These
awards and the two smaller prizes
are private donations made to the
art association.
son says is that "you can get your
own custom-made cigarettes by
mixing different roll-your-own
brands."
"It's the biggest thing since the
five-cent cup of coffee," another
ardent enthusiast says.
Possibly the increase in pop-
ularity of the roll-your-own cig-
arette is what has prompted one
ready-made cigarette manufac-
tureer to send out a salesman,
equipped with technicolor film
and screen, to local drug stores
to present promotion shows and
hand out free samples.
Bill Later, '49Lit, is one man
the manufacturer needn't worry
about. Later scoffs at the whole
cigarette-rolling idea. He ,.declares,
"It's about as useful as a glass
eye in a keyhole, as practical as
raising chickens in an elevator,,
and more trouble than a $63 bill."
