THE EPIDEMIC.
A DECREASING LIST. No fresh cases of infantile paralysis were admitted to the Palmerston North Hospital yesterday. This makes a total of five days since the last manifestation of the disease m Palmerston North or district, and it is certainly to be hoped that this period of surcease will be not too quickly brought to a close. The satisfactory progress or patients under treatment in the institution is reported. No further discharges have been so far made. nearing the end. CHRISTCHURCH OPINION OP EPIDEMIC.
CHRISTCHURCH, Last Night. Although new cases of infantile paralysis continue to occur in the city area, there are grounds for hope that the epidemic is slowly but surely nearing the end of its course. Several of the cases reported in the past week started in a mild form and parents were unaware anything was wrong until some time after the patients were first affected. The dumber of actual new cases shows a steady decline and it is hoped the cold snap over the week-end may have a beneficial effect in bringing the epidemic nearer to a close. NO SOUTH CANTERBURY CASES FOR EIGHT DAYS. No definite cases of infantile paralysis have been reported in South Canterbury for the past eight days.
