New York, Aug. 25-Despite be-
lief that infantile paralysis seldom
attacks more than one member of the

United States public health service
show that in 227 families here more
than one child has had the disease.
In more than 200 of these families
only two children were affected, while
in twenty families three children have
suffered attacks. In one family there
were five ceases.
Nevertheless the health commission

that the great majority OF children
is not susceptible to infantile paraly-
