|6S PARALYSIS CASES
IN STATE THIS YEAR
Strictly Local Gatherings May Be For
hidden at Any Time in the Discretion
of the State Board, as Conditions MAY
Warrant

BURLINGTON, July 1S - A sweeping
order was issued last night dealing with
infantie paralysis in Vermont when the
state board of health, after a conference
in this city at which Gov. F. Graham
wGs present, voted to issue an order
dorbdding the holding of fairs, state or
county, Chatauquas, street carnivals
circuses until further notice. The order
issue by the board is as follows:
'To date we have had in this state
6s cases of infantile paralysis this year
This is a greater number of cases than
we have had In any year during the last
five years with one exception. Sixty
one OF these cases and six deaths have
occurred since June l6. These cases, with
| three exceptions, have been confined to
Washington county. There are good rea-
sons for shopping that this outbreak can
be checked at this time.
In past years we have had reason to
think that large gatherings of people from
many towns have distributed this in
lection. August and September in past
years have been our worst months as far
as this disease in concerned.
L I'm view Of these facts the attention
of local boards of health is called to Act
No. 1914 of the laws of 1917 and such boards
are directed to make and enforce regula-
tions in the several towns wherever To-
cal conditions require such action.
i when one or more cases develop in
any town the local board of health should
take action such as forbidding all public
gatherings or excluding all children un-
der l6 years of age from such gather
ings; also from lunch, soda water and
ice cream counters and other public eat
ing and drinking places.
1T is hereby ordered that no fairs.
street carnivals, Chautauquas or circuses
be held in the state of Vermont until
further notice.
by order of the state board of health.
