Norwich bulletin., 1916-08-02

there were no pathological signs what ever of infantile paraIyvas. The par ents buried the child here in the l. o. B. A. cemetery and then went back to their home in Brooklyn.
 Health Officers Were Overlooked.
 The autopsy was performed without any notification whatever being given to the city health officer, and Dr. Bro- phy was justly indignant on Tuesday evening when informed of the course of events and the breach of etiquette, if nothing more. Dr. Thompson, as well, knew nothing of the disposition of the case. Some of the medical men night in recOnciiing the symptoms noted during the course of the disease with the autopsy findings.
 Officer Donovan Needs Help.
 Officer John Donovan who is in- specting the traffic that comes up the New London road by trolley and au- tomobile appealed to Town Health Of- ffcer Thompson for help on Tuesday. While the officer is examining the cre- dentials of tourists, a line of cars is likely to string out in a long waiting row and just about that time Q trolley car laden with children is liable to come along. The delay is not agree able to any of the parties concerned. Dr. Thompson laid the matter before the seleCtmen, but an assistant con- stable had not been appointed Tues day night.
 Suspected Case Not Reported.
 A suspected case of. infantile para lysis that a prominent physician of the city is said to be attending had not been reported to Dr. Brophy Tuesday night It is said this child has no history of possible infection and has a. fever but no paralysis. The six-year- old Simon girl at the hospital was perhaps a little better on Tuesday.
 These People Produced Tickets.
 In the case of the families with four children who it was thought had intered Norwich against the reguIa- tiOns it was found Tuesday that the people were satisfactorily armed with the proper certificates. Several peO- pie were rejected Tuesday because they lacked the health tickets
 New York Travellers Few.
 There were no children from New York or other infected districts on the New London line steamer and trains Monday night or Tuesday.
 On the 1 o'clock train from New York Monday afternoon came Mrs MOrria Miller of Brooklyn and two sons, Il and IT years of age and she was informed by Inspector Frank Savage at New London that the younger boy would not be permitted lO SHteE ana InaL ne would nave to re- turn to New York. Mrs. Miller com plained that she had no money with which to send him back and it was finally arranged that the older boy could go to MOntVille where there were relatives to get the money. He returned shortly before Il o'clock, ac- companied by an older sister and friends, who tried to remonstrate with the inspector, but he compelled the boy to go aboard the New London line boat, on which he returned to New York, accompanied by his sister, while the mother and other son con- tinued to Montville
 Health officials of New London and the towns around had no new cases to report Tuesday, and the situation in this section seems to be assuming a brighter aspect, although the danger is far removed and new cases are like ly to develop any time. Parents are still urged to continue their preven- tative measures with their children. thereby lessening the possibility of infection.
