DISEASE MAKES
ADULT CRIPPLE
lNFANTlLE PARALYSIS VICTIM
RAISED SOON.

"If he gets well he will more than
likely be cripple" stated DR.. G. V.
Cate last night when asked by The
News representative about Henry
Head who was recently discovered to
have infantile paralysis. The only
case of the disease here has appeared
in an adult who is thirty-three years of
age.
Last night DR.. Cate stated that the
quarantine had been raised respecting
adults but that children. under 16
years of age are prohibited from 60
ing in or out the residence. He said
the patient was resting nicely and
would probably be up and about in a
few days. Being asked when the
quarantine respecting children would
be raised the doctor stated that it
would be done in about ten days.
