"Why did child get polio? j
N'one of his playmates had it."
Many a parent, suddenly con- !
fronted with the dread diagnosis j
of paralytic polio, lias asked this. !
The answer is that one of the i
child's playmates, or some other!
person who was not ill himself, did !
indeed have the nolio virus and did
communicate it. The unwitting car- j
rier was' protected from paralysis '

soon as enough vaccine is available.
The vaccine achieves pretty much
the same preventive effect, attifi-
. ciallv, that an actual (uilio infec-
! '.ion does naturally; that is, it sets
in motion the human chemistry
i which produces protective anti-
bodies. i'nlike gamma globulin, it
not not introduce antibodies, readv-
tnade into the blood stream in
ifiven, limited supply. Rather, it is)
a miniature Point 4 Program
helping the body to help itself.
Tlie only way science has found |
lo trigger this latent self-defense i
when nature has failed to do it is j
i through the use of the virus itself j
— by introducing inactivated virus i
. into the body. In a small minor !
ity of instances nothing happens;
in most people the reaction to the j
presence of the virus is a t|uick:
emergency output of antibodies.
It would be easy enough to do
this dangerously. Dr. Salk's job was 1
lo find a way to do it safely. It '
was complicated, mm cover, by the |
fact that there are three types of
the polio virus, any one of which
booster shots are needed, immunity

long. When the day of universal
vaccination conies, at least three

A UNIVfRGAi INTfRNATlOWL PICTURE
The Texan by Dodge!
lit re is a handsome, rugged car that's big as all out-
doori, with the surging power of a quarter hone,
the sweeping lines ol a gull in flight, the relaxed
lowh ol push-button driving!
Tlie Texan is built for Texas driving. It skims
swiftly along the big broad highways, it rips
over tolls Ukt a hungry cougar, it takes the bumpi-
est, ruttiest, sandiest road and comes back for
more. All this combined in the smartest, slickest-
looking car that ever rolled down Main Street. You
get th* same superior engineering and design that
made Dodge the greatcat gainer in the industry in
•*r' . . that's sent Dodfce sales soaring in '56.
M'
z,i)
Plenty ot extra-special features, too . . . such as
lovely, specially designed interior trim, specialpaint
combinations and other smart touches. What's
more, the Texan'* name is proudly blazoned on
both rear fenders. And the brave crossed Hags of
the Lone Star State are right up front where your
fellow-Texans can admire them!
Choose either the dashing Lancer hardtop or the big
rangy 4-door sedan, both powered by the mighty
engine that busted the AAA record book wide open
at Bonneville Salt Flats. Jaunty twin exhaust
pipes tell the whole world there's power to spare!
You might expect to pay a pretty price for a great
car like this. Not so. The Texan is priced right down
with the so-oalled "low-priced three." Yet it's big
and powerful and luxurious . . . rivaling cars cost-
ing as much as a thousand dollars more!
This is a limited edition, so don't wait! Visit your
nearest Dodge Dealer now and drive the Texan!
