MOSQUITOES NEARLY KILL
AN ABANDONED BABY GIRL

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 27,-So terri
bly, bitten by hordes of hungary mos
quitoes that her life hung by a thread,
a six-weeks-old baby girl was found
among some bushes in lot at River
avenue and State street, Camden, late
last night. The child was sent to the
Homeopathic hospital and the doctors
expect to save her life. They say that
a little longer in the open would have
brought her death.
The child was discovered by Peter
Knowles and Mark Keller, as they
walked along the lonely street Of that
section. Their attention was attract
ed to a low wall, more like the cry of
some small animal in distress than that
of a human being. They were greatly
astonished when their investigation re-
Vealed the little one.

HEALTH REPORTS
FALSE, ASSERTS
Los ANGELES
Stories of Epidemic of InfantiIe
Paralysis Vigorously Denied.
None Has Existed.

Los ANGELES. CAL, Aug. 27.-
Through the medium of irresponsible
newspaper correspondents. absolutely
false reports have been sent out from
this city of the existence of an infan-
tile paralysis epidemic"
AS d matter of fact this great ma
tional resort has enjoyed summer of
exceptional beauty, and the scare
has had no justification whatever In
the health conditions of the metropolis.
Furthermore, Los Angeles citizens
were not even aware that such reports
were in existence. and were both sur
prised and startled to find the city
credited with an epidemic of which
they had no knowledge themselves.
In this particular the situation is
unique
While papers elsewhere contained
sensational stories of the spread of the
disease, Los Angeles moved calmly on
its way enjoying a parade Of cool,
cioudless days. the beaches crowded
with merrymakers, it's hotels full and
I'm all particulars blessed with a happy
and prosperous summer season. There
have been isolated and fugitive cases
OF infantile paralysis, but not more
than might be expected in any COM
munity of this size, these cases furnish
ing a trifing percentage of the whole
population.
Merely as a matter of precaution the
health authorities prohibited children
from attending amusement places and
a few Sunday schools were closed in
congested districts.
Grossly Misinterpreted.
These official safeguards were in
tended to arrest instantly any spread
of the disease and by no means indi-
Gated an agitated state of mind over
the few cases under the care of the
health department But they were
grossly misinterpreted, and foolish
stories have grown in volume until Los
Angeles is credited in certain sections
with an epidemic that does not exist
and never did exist.
The population Of Los Angeles by the
latest compilation is 420 900 The total
of As deaths from infantile paralysis
since June was but one death for
1888 of population. And even this
small aggregation of cases shows de-
cline.
Furthermore certain doctors and
critics of the health department main
tain that through over zealousness
mistakes have been made in diagnos-
ing, that many cases credited as in
fantile paralysis have been nothing
more than collie and stomach disorders
AS a matter Of fact the average OF
infantile paralysis in Los Angeles is no
worse than in any other city and is
much less than in most cities.
