regarding the intra- State control of
infantile paralysis.
Asks support OF Public.
Il want to emphasize the fact that
thus far Virginia has escaped such
an outbreak of tnfantile paralysis as
has appeared in New York We havo
fewer cases than we had last year
But the widening circle of infantile
paralysis renders 1t Imperative that
we take such precautions as our
knowledge of the disease warrants
hope the public will support us in our
earnest effort to make these precau-
tons effective, and l shall use the
fullest publicity In explaining exactly
what the situation is and how we are
working to protect the State.
The enforcement of this uuaran-
tine law will begin at once. Under
the resolutions. the railroad or other
carrier and any individual transport
ing any one into Virginia is Jointly
liable with the individual for the en-
forcement of the quarantine. This
will be fully covered in the formal
text of the regulation, which will be
issued as soon a sthey can be drawn
in legal form"
