tion Is Being Taken to
Check Disease

Following the discovery of four new cases
Of infantile paralysis in this city yesterday
Director Krusen, of the Department of
Public Health and Charities, gives assur-
ance that every possible precaution Is be-
ing taken to prevent the disease from gain
ing foothod here. He said the cases
were In various sections Of the city and
this was encouraging.
The four new cases was the greatest
number reported in Philadelphia In any one
day since the epidemic began in New York,
and this outbreak occurred after a lull of
several days, during which no new cases
were reported to health officials. The four
children attacked yesterday were taken to
the Philadelphia Hospital for Contagious
Diseases.
Two of the, cases were found in one
family. an experience unique in the history
of the Health Department They included
the eldest and the youngest of n family OF
four children two intermediate members

The cases diagnosed were those of Rich

health officers say, the quarantine has only
been imposed as a matter of law, the house
hold being of tho type which would yolun-
tarily keep the children indoors for the
prescribed period.
Russell Kemp was taken Ill July and
Rose Vernocchio became Ill last Saturday.

serious consideration when 1t was reported
that New York banking concerns were
