INFANTILE PARALYSIS
EPIDEMICS AT INTERVALS METHODS OF SPREADING DISEBAE [Psr United Press Association.] CHRISTCHURCH, September 17. Epidemics of infantile paralysis have appeared at intervals of four or five years since 1912. On this basis Dr J. L. Will told the New Zealand Masseurs’ Association that another epidemic may be expected in 1929 or 1930. In America there was a definite conclusion that the disease was carried by air from ono person to another from nasal secretions. Ono means of spreading the disease was the kissing and fondling of children. Most efficient control was the isolation of the patients as soon ns the presence of the disease was detected, and preventing ill gatherings of children.
