VIRUS OF INFANTILE PARALYSIS
PERSONAL CONTACT CHIEF CAUSE OF SPREAD (United Press Association) DUNEDIN, September 20. Commenting on the Stockholm cablegram regarding the successful isolation of the virus of infantile paralysis Professor E. C. Hercus, dean of the medical faculty of Otago University, said that while the facts stated by M. Karl Kling, chief of the Swedish State Bacteriological Research Institute, were important there was clear evidence, so far as New Zealand was concerned, that personal contact was the chief cause of the spread of the disease. M. Kling was perhaps inclined to over-emphasize the new fact and it would be a serious mistake to accept the position as applying to New Zealand.
