II may be recalled by the people
that this disease prevailed in Yves
tern Massachusetts during the past
year, and that one fatal case was re
ported in this town during the aut-

ponsible for calling the attention OF
Doctor Flexner to this locality. The
Doctor volunteers the following i'm
portant information, certainly of in
terest to our citizens:
Il may add that acute cases of po-
liomyelitis will be admitted to the
Rockefeller hospital, where no charge
is ever made for medical service,
room or nursing. and where the con
ditions of treatment are we'll adapted
to all classes OF patients" II almost
goes without saying. that everybody
In this section will lend assistance to

physicians who have been consulted
in regard to this important subject
