CHILD PARALYSIS

THREE MORE PATIENTS IMPROVEMENT IN AUCKLAND Two further cases of infantile paralysis, and a suspected case, were reported to the Health Department in Auckland yesterday, Two of the patients, one positive ease and one suspect, were admitted to the Auckland Hospital, and the third, another positive case, was taken to the Tauranga Hospital from Te :P«ke. The two positive cases notified yesterday are both fairly severe, according to Dr. T, J. Huglies, medical officer of health at Auckland. He, said the Auckland case, that of a boy aged nine years from Matakana, showed definite paralysis. The suspected case admitted to the Auckland Hospital was a child from Cllenfield, and it was very doubtful whether this was paralysis.

A substantial reduction in the number of infantile paralysis patients in the Auckland Hospital was reported yesterday by the superintendent, Dr. <T. W. Craven. He said there were now 18 cases, actual or suspected, in hospital, a number of suspected cases having been proved negative in the last few days. A precaution introduced by the hospital authorities when the outbreak commenced late last year, that of doing no operations to the throats and noses of patients under 16 years except in urgent cases, was again in force. Dr. Craven added. This regulation would be lifted as soon as conditions had improved sufficiently.
