INFANTILE PARALYSIS.

SWEDISH DOCTOR'S CLAIM. STOCKHOLM, Sept. 19. Dr. Karl Kling, chief of the Swedish State Bacteriological Research Bureau, reportg that he has successfully isolated the- virus of infantile paralysis. He has concluded that infection in the main spreads indirectly, as with typhoid, dysentery and cholera, and rarely directly as a result of personal contact. The live virus was found in butter made with contaminated water.

Commenting on the above cable Dr. Hercus, of Dunedin, said that while the facts stated by Dr. Kling were important, there was clear evidence' so far as New Zealand'is concerned that personal contact was the chief cause of the spread of the disease. Dr. Kling was perhaps inclined to over-emphasise the new fact and it would be a serious mistake to accept the position as applying to Xew Zealand. —(Frees Aseji.)
