BOZRAH HAS CASE
 OF PARALYSIS NOW.
One Developed There and Another in
 This Town on Tuesday.

HfS lOWn On uGSC6yH
 After the ipfantile paralysis sftua- ton had seemingly simmered down to
 Quietness, two new cases, one in Nor
 wich and one in Bozrab, on Tuesday
 changed the complexion of health af-
 fairs in this vicinity Tn neither of
 the cases is the means of infection at all clear to the physicians,
 Dr. A. Freeman discovered the
 Norwich case Tuesday morning in the
 family of MT. and Mrs. Charles Brown
 ing Of the New London turnpike, near
 the Backus corner, East Great Plain.
 Their 3 year old son, Kenneth Brown
 ing, became i'll a week ago and at his
 visit yesterday morning the physician
 found that a slight paralysis had set
 in in both thighs of the infant. Dr.
 Edward F. Brewer was called in con
 sultation and he agreed that the dis
 ease was infantiIe paralysis. Dr.
 George Thompson of Taftville, the
 town health officer, was straightway
 informed of the case, and the proper
 quarantine was established.
 While the case is considered a mild
 one, 1t raises the bafTiing problem of the source of the infection, for the child had been nowhere, it's home is isolated, and there was no hint of ex- posture in the history of the case. There
 is one other child in the Browning family, a younger infant. This is the
 first Norwich case.
 The other case developed on the Post faITn on Wauwecus Hill, not far from the Norwich town line This is Doro- thy Zuckerman, the 2 year old daugh-
 ter of MT. and Mrs. Meyer Zuckerman of Brooklyn, N. Y, who has been i'll since Friday, was first attended on Sunday by pr. H. E. Higgins of this city. On Monday the child had high day paralysis manifested itself in it's right arm and in the neck, while it's temperature was back to nearly nor nal. There are 32 other children on this farm and the Zuckerman child was taken to the Baclzus hospital, where Tuesday night it was said her condi- ton had not changed.
 The child came to the farm, where Philip Rosenberg takes boarders, with her mother and since that time MT. Zuckerman has paid several visits to 1 his family from Brooklyn and it is the infection with him. But as there are many other mothers and children boarding on the farm and the fathers i of these come Up occasionally bst as MT Zuckernnan did, the possibilities Of cOnta zion are espondingly multi i piled. MT Zuclzer1nan came Up three l weeks ago and again last Sunday. Health Officer Elijah s. AT>el of Boz- ! rah was notified by Dr. Higgins and ! Tuesday afternoon proceeded to dis 1 infect the house and place everybodv ] on the farm under quarantine. This 1 is the second case from Bozrah, tfn | first having come from a, farm abCF 1 FitchvtIIe on Aug. 3. This was Sylvis, l Abrams, ? years old, and as in tlIit | second case. there were nearly tv,r i score of children in the immediate 1 vicinity, but no cases have developed 1 there vet, and the child is recovering i at the hospital
 A suspected case was reported l from the northern part of the town l of Waterford, but the disease had not i fully developed Tuesday.
 1 A boy was detained on board the | New London line steamer from New 1 York Tuesday morning and was sent l back to New York on the 11.13 ex- | press.
 Chesterfield has another case Of in- | fantile paralysis. The victim Is the 1 six months old son of MT. and Mrs 1 BonsieId of New York. The Bonsields 1 with their child, are staying at the 1 home of Herman Ariewitz in Chester 1 field, where they arrived about a l month ago.
 ] The case was reported to Health 1 Officer Frederick H. Dart of East l Lyme Monday night and he asked per mission of Health Officer Edwin c | Chipman to admit the child to the 1 contagion ward Of Memorial hospit5, | which was granted. Because of the l age of the child. the mother is to be l admitted with the child and it was ] expected at the hospital Tuesday aft ! ernOon.
 1 It is thought that the Bonsield child
 contracted the disease, from Harry 1 Bashlaw, who was the last. victim from Chesterfield and who contract l ed the disease at the Ariewitz house, l Six additional cases of tnfantiIe pa raIysis were reported to the state l board of health Tuesday, making g +oA, F., LA 4a+o +1 5oIO 0J l 442. Dr. Black, the secretary of the 1 board said there was every reason tC 1 think that the worst of the epidemic | was over.
