PARALVSB CASES ARE ON INCREASE
Infantile paralysis In Pennsy¬ lvania, today, although It positively docs not approach epidemic propor¬ tions, yet is showing a definite In¬ crease, according to Doctor J. Mcorc Campbell, chief of thc Bu¬ reau of Communicable disease. State Department of Health.
Doctor Campbell said that from January 1 to August I there were but thirty-eight cases reported, but that since August 1, seventy-four new cases have been reported. A few of these wera of earlier origin, but actual August cases were re¬ ported to the number of fifty-one, while September, up to the 16th, has had twenty cases. This is to be ex¬ pected, however, since the months of August and September always { show an Increase over the earlier part of the year. Dr. Campbell said The record for 1930 gives a total of thirty-one cases in August and forty-seven In September.
While no known method of pro- venting the disease exists, it is well for parents to keep their children away from crowds as much as pos¬ sible and no time should be lost in consulting a physician should a child show symptoms of persistent drowsiness, pain in the back and neck and Inability to bend the body forward or backward without pain, Dr. Campbell suggested.
