COLCHESTER TWINS HAVE
 DREAD INFANTILE PARALYSIS Four New Cases Reported In One
 Family on Friday.

The continuing spread of infantile paralysis in Colchester was indicated in four new cases reported on Friday by Dr. Edward J. HOwland, all occur ring in one family, two of the cases being serious and the other two mild CT. These are the children of the Brown family. on the West Road about mile from the village. A pair of twins two months old have the dis ease, one of them Allan H. Brown be- ing very sick child on Friday. Win fired BOwn, 3 years old was feVerish Friday night and Lawrence Brown, two years old is also sick. They of course have not been out of town and the means by which they caught the disease is by no means clear to the doctors. DT. John T. Black was in Colchester Friday looking over the sit UatiOn.
 Thursday Dr. Rowland was called to Exeter, at the edge of the town of Lebanon and he found a New York girl, Viola Aaron. about three years old coming down with infantiIa par alESiS. Her parents. whose name is Aaron. had brought her to the coun- try about a month ago, they said Friday when Dr. HOwland went back to visit the child, he found that the people had taken a train and gone back to New York with their sick child. The Lebanon authorities were notified of the breach of quarantine It looked like 9 mild attack.
 About ten days ago Millie Rubin stein was brought to the BaclIus hos pita1 with infantiIe paralysis and on rIidav the father of the child broke quarantine and appeared in COlches- ter village. He was arrested by the Lebanon health authorities
 The four children in the family Of Charles Taylor of Colchester whose 16 year old daughter died Wednesday of infantiIe paralysis, were getting along well on Friday and they are not ser iously i'll at the present time and may not have the disease.
 The two months old boy of a Polish family named Switza, also living on the West road in the town of CoIChes- ter was another case that was report ed on Friday This is a mild case.
 Narwich people are cOngratulating themselves on the early and strict quarantine which Health Officer Bro phy put into effect even when it seemed somewhat too stringent but now it is seen to have been the best kind of a preventive measure, for in Colchester. New Haven, Bridgeport and other places in the state the cases that are developing now are not those of New York people but of children resident in these places who have been infected by the carriers from the cI- ties who were let in during the early days before 9 sufficiently rigid eHClu- sion was put into effect.
 Dr. BrOphy has now issued nearly six hundred health certificates to chil- dren under 16 in New York and to facilitate matters he has arranged to have a man at the Block Island dock Sunday morning from to o'clock to issue the health cards to all Norwich children who wish to stop at Watch Hill John Connolly is acting as clerk for Dr. Brophy and his hours are ? to 3 every afternoon at the health of fcers office in the Shannon building, but on Sunday the hours will be from 1 to o'clock. Dr. Brophy is desirous that people remember these hours and refrain if possible from demanding certificates in the middle of the night or at five o'clock in the morning.
