INFANTILE PARALYSIS
THE outbreak of infantile paralysis in Auckland continues to be a source of anxiety to the public health authorities, and 14 fresh cases since Saturday, including three notifications on Monday, bring the total to 64. A few more cases have been reported since then. The District Health Officer warns parents of patients to take precautions, particularly in regard to other children who are " contacts." When children are isolated at home ihe rules of isolation should be strictly adhered to.
This township has been unfortunate in losing two children last week from the epidemic, Mr and Mrs Bert Becroft losing their little daughter, %\i years of age, on Wednesday, January 26 ; and Mr and Mrs David Eoss losing their 4-year old son. Much sympathy has been extended the bereaved parents in their sad loss.
