Board of Health Bulletin

Considerable inquiry is constant.
1y made regarding infantile paralsis
in the city, and we have therefore
decided to publish the facts at hand
to date.
{ Infantile paralysis has never ap.
peared in Ely before. There have
been a number of epidemics ir
various parts of the state since
1908, appearing usually during the
summer months and during dry,
dusty weather.
Up to date there are eight cases
in the city which appeared on the
following dates: April %, %,
May E, 8, 9 and 29 and on June z
and 4. The nationality of cases
have been, Austrian 8, Finnish 8,
English 1 and Scandinavian 1.
Five cases have been between the
ages of l and 2 years; one between
2 and 3 years; one between 3 and
4 years and one between E and !
years; the majority of the cases
being between the ages of 1 and 2
wears and divided into sex were
males 3, females S. Parts paralyz.
ed were; right arm and left leg,
one case; right arm 2; right side of
face 2; left leg 3; paralysis of left
arm and right leg 1.
The cases have been scattered
over all parts of the town, more
especially the outskirts. Some oi
of the cases are improving and
some return of motion in the par
a1yzed parts has been exhibited
while others show no improvement
Only one case has appeared in any
family.
All these cases have been report
ed to the State board of health anc
the city board has several com
munications entitled Warning
and Advice Concerning Infantile
Paralysis" we had published in tht

We wish here to repeat one oi
their warnings, namely: "Tt
watch association with dust, espec
tally the dust of the city streets
country roads, barnyards, stables
etc. No health measure relating
to this disease should be more rig
idly enfored during this summe
than the careful soaking (no
merely sprinkling) of streets, roads
barnyards and other open place
where animals, especially horse
wander"
The city board expects to see t.
it that the streets are thoroughly
wetted down during any dry AM
dusty weather that we may have
They also expect to watch tn
alleys closely and make regular in
spections. Anybody whose prem
ises are not clean or whose manur
