520			_a"The month was April [1955], and already the temperature was rising in the states far to the south--ideal conditions for the virus that causes poliomyelitis. Sure as crocuses, the paralysis would arrive with the warm weather, twisting bodies with a randomness that confounded the best doctors. Just three years earlier, in the summer of 1952, nearly 58,000 Americans had contracted the disease, most of them children. Many would never walk again, some lost the use of their arms, others never saw another summer. The prospect of such contagion-by-calendar had shadowed every summer for the better part of a century. The possibility that the plague could be stopped for good carried sweet promise indeed." (SMITHSONIAN) This article examines Dr. Jonas Salk's work in developing the polio vaccine.
