PARALYSIS LEAPS UPWARD

100 New Cases and 80 Deaths Reported
by Physicians

NEW YORK, Aug. 15-Hope that the
crest of the infantile paralysis epidemic had
been reached was destroyed today by a
large increase in the number Of new cases
and deaths. For the "a hours ending at 10
a. M the Health Department reported 100
new cases and 80 deaths, an increase of 6S
and respectively. The total of cases to
date Is 6532, while 1863 have died from the
disease.
Experts watching the course of the dis
ease believe that only the cold weather of
the fall can check the epidemic. That the
number Of cases may reach 1900 is gen.
orally believed by the physicians.
Several cases among the adults have re-
suited fatally 1t is apparent from OBJ
servation of the present plague that any
adult who falls victim has n very slight
chance OF recovery.
Criticism of the Health Department is
steadily increasing. Numerous complaints
have been made of dead animals being al
lowed to lie for several days In the streets.
