Wealth. said yesterday that the Depa-t IT.
ment OF Health will not stop children
from returning to their homes in this
city provided they are not suffering from
the disease.
Commissioner Emerson, contrary TO
the Federal health officers. expressed
the opinion that there Is little danger
that children returning to the city
would constitute an added danger
through supplying new material for the
epidemic to affect.
II do not believe that any alarm need
be felt" the Health COMMISSIONS said.
THE epidemic IL o definitely on the
wane. n I do not believe that children
coming back here will cause II to take
an upward jump. Should the rate Of de-
crease now apparent continue. II can be
easily seen that II will not be very long
before the number Of cases Of infantile
paralysis being reported will be no small
as to cause very little concern from .
public health standpoint"
Or. Emerson said yesterday that the
Instrumentation treatment Of lnfantile
paralysis had been abandoned because
II had been found unsuitable for patients
who had been suffering from the disease
for several days before the treatment
begun. as almost all the children
brought to the hospitals had been.

serum was procured yesterday from nvs

sis.
