"INFANTILE PARALYSIS" AND
SPOTTED FEVER"

The local Government Board has issued g.
circular to the various authorities stating
that it is desirable in the interests of public
health that acute poliomyelitis ("infantile
paralysis") and ce1ebro-spinal fever (''spotted
tever') should be made notifiuble, in order
that the local authorities and their medical
otfcer OF health may be informed as soon as
possible of the occurrence of cases Of these
diseases. 1t will thus be practicable to mi
tiate prompt inquiry into their origin and
incidence and to take any precautions neces-
sary to prevent their spread. Tn several dis
tricts acute poliomyelitis and cerebro-spinal
fever have already been made notitiable:
where this has not already been done the
Board suggest that the council should take
steps at an early date to require notification.

dical Officer to the Board, is issued with the

Der of rat-eaten canes, as this would further
reduce their numbers where they are badly

s. No evidence could be obtained to prove
that the mongoose is responsible for any in
crease in the damage done to the cane crop
by insect pests.
9, We are of opinion that the benefit to
the cane crop derived from the presence of
the mongoose is SO great that a stop should
at once be put to their destruction, and we,
therefore, recommend that the Mongoose
