INFANTILE PARALYSIS
Sir, —It would be of interest to many to learn some details of the form of treatment given at our Public Hospital to suspected and to positive cases of poliomyelitis. Would you be so kind as to make inquiry?—Yours, etc., RATEPAYER. January 8, 1948. [When this letter was referred to a doctor at the Christchurch Public Hospital he said there were two stages of the disease, the medical stage and the paralytic stage. Very few patients reached the paralytic stage. There was no form of treatment for the disease other than general supervision of each case.]
