My Granddad got when he was 13 back around 1912. His legs never developed right and he had to walk with a cane the rest of his life. His first Granddaughter/grandchild (my cousin) got it and died from complications of pneumonia when she was 7. Her Mother (my aunt) just passed away last year at the age of 95. It was at her funeral where I heard all the details of my cousin's Illness and how she had to be isolated in an iron lung for a long time about 100 miles from home. This had to be terrifying for both my cousin and Aunt & Uncle. This was back in the 40's about 10 years before my time. I do remember the sugar cubes.
