Infantile Paralysis Precautions
D.
WEBBER.
(To the Editor.) Sir,— We are all saddened by news of the continuous progress of the infantile paralysis epidemic throughout the Dominion, and it may be just as well for your xeaders to be reminded that both flies and mosquitoes are diseasecarriers and should be exterminated wherever poesible. As well, our civie fathers may well consider whether the time has not arrived for the children 's section of the public library to.be closed, if not the library itself, nntil this dreaded disease is staxupod out or until proper fumigation of books and papera is possible, as it is only by taking drastic measures such as these that we shall stop the epidemic. It is quite time for us to discontinue our practice of locking the stable door after the steed has bolted. — Yours, etc.,
Wanganui, April 14.
