It was reported Wednesday that
there was a suspected case of infan-
tile paralysis in town, which was be-
ing watched by the health officer. DR..
Jennings states that ne knows Of no
such case, and has none under obser-
walton. This is the third time such
case has been reported, some people
refusing to believe to the contrary,
greatly to the annoyance of families
where children are i'll. Often suspect
cd cases, which close schools, and es-
tabliSh quarantine, prove to be some
other disease. AS in the case at
Wauregan, which proves to be case
of acute bronchitis and the case of
the sixteen year Old girl in Colches-
ter who died from septic throat trou-
bic, not paralysis. A recent letter re-
garding the effect fear has on disease
reads: 1t is easy enough to start
panic in a crowd. Why then, is it not
possible that susceptible children who
have heard and read of this disease,
be frightened into it? Parents should
think seriously of the effect Of their
own often unreasonable fright on their
children, to whom fathers and moth
er's word is law. The children should
be taught proper cleanliness and pre-
caution, but even that can be carried
to an extreme that is unreasonable
Their minds should. be kept as clean
as their bodies, for as is often said of
older people, eff they would think
about something else besides them
selves, their health would improve"
