DISEASES IN
VERMONT FEW
Outbreak of Infantile
Paralysis In Kirby
Subsiding

20 October seemed to be another
unusually healthy month in Yer
mont, at least so far as contagious
or communicable diseases that
have been reported to the state Of
health are any indication.
Scarlet fever, chicken poX and
whooping cough seem to have been
the samples most in evidence.
There were "A cases of scarlet
fever, 100 cases of whooping
cough and 81 cases of chicken pos
in the entire state during the
month. Only six eases of typhoid
were reported. Cabot has the dis
tinction Of having the only case
OF mumps in all Vermont.
The eight cases of po-iOmyelit,s
in South Kirby -arly in the month
caused considerable concern for a
time, but no new cases have de-
veloped and it is understood that
these cases are recovering to that
extent that very little ultimate
paralysis will result. The outbreak
has been traced and localized and
is not expected to spread further.
OF the II cases in the whole state
were these eight in Kirby, n in
Lunenburg and one in st. Johns
bury.
In addition to this, Dr.. V. P.
Genge of St. Johnsbury, district
heath officer, reports the follow

discoveries of the century, said DIR.
Davenport, Sunday. DIR. Kritch has
succeeded in isolating the typhus coc-
Gus which is biscuit shaped and in ap-
pearauce much like the pneumonia

was found in the brain tissue of II
out of l. patients who had died of
typhus; the organism was then grown
in the tissues of the human spleen
from which later a culture was taken
and injected into guinea pigs. producing
typhuS symptoms.

rum has been developed. but this may
come later. Other physicians in Europe

The hospital where the discovery
