Investigation here which proved to him
that several unmistakable cases of the

health board is working to find a
method of successful treatment, as are
doctors throughout the country.
These Investigations are being made
by Dr. Pauline Nusbaumer, city bac-

William F. Snow of the state board of
health. The doctors here realize that
there is no immediate danger to the
community and Will prevent any such
peril by quarantine of all cases. The
disease is highly contagious
The disease is known to scientists as
anterior poliomyelitis. 1t attacks per-
sons under 20 years of age, usually oc-
high because no certain remedy is
known. It is to find a treatment by
antitoxin that the local doctors are
working.
The malady is prevalent in all parts

gested districts. It's increase is pre-
ventable by sanitary regulations.
