INFANTILE PARALYSIS
CASES AT WELLINGTON TWO ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL £bY TELEGRAPH —OiWN correspondent] WELLINGTON, Tuesday Two further cases of infantile paralysis have been reported to the Wellington office of the Health Department. Both are Wellington cases, one being a boy of eight years and the other, a boy of seven. There is slight paralysis in both cases and the children are in hospital. Dr. F. S. Maclean, medical officer of health, Wellington, said that neither ease was regarded as serious. There had been two other cases in Wellington so far this year, and, as the disease was most prevalent in the early summer months, there was nothing to indicate that the present cases were anything more than the usual sporadic ones which occurred from time to time throughout the Dominion.
