Otago Precaution
DUNEDIN, WecL (P.A.)—Hospitals under the control of the Otago Hospital Board have been closed to all visitors under 16 years of age as a precaution against infantile paralysis. Only immediate relatives or guardians of patients will be allowed to visit the children’s wards.
“This is not a panic measure,” said Dr A. S. Moody, • chairman of the board, “but is being taken before there is any question of the disease occurring in Otago.”
