Stricken At Play By
 Infantile Paralysis

New Haven, Aug. 6.-The third case of infantile paralysis that has been noted in this vicinity came to light yesterday, when it became known that the illness with which the six-year-old son of MT. and Mrs. George Nash, of East Haven, had been stricken a few days ago was this terrible malady. A peculiar feature of this case is the fact that, whereas in most cases children are stricken while asleep, this little boy was overcome with the malady while playing. He had not been in the best of health for some days, but was able to be around playing. Sud denly his father heard a noise like a child falling. He went out to see the boy and found him unable to speak and also not able to sand on his feet Medical attendance was summoned and the disease diagnosed as the dreadful infantile paralysis
 Another case reported in East Ha- ven some time ago was that Of the infant son of. MT and Mrs. SEE. Dlp- ble, Jr, of Forbes place. This llttle boy has been steadily improving however, but is still somewhat lame.
