1 A VISITOR HERE
C. Johnson and wife of Mec-
¢{ Pa. in the Cumberland
‘WA gests of Meyersdale
gk. Mrs. Johnson is a
Norman Miller Rev.
x ago was a resi-
aunty.
‘Plott to the opening of
‘schools and places of public entertain- ;
ment to children after the period of
quarantine, Commissioner of Health
Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, offers the fol-
lowing advice to teachers and par-
ents: : Sey
“The rules and regulations of the
Department of Health mage to carry
out the organic laws of the State rc-
lating to Infantile Paralysis permit
children under sixteen years of age
to attend school and go to places of
amusement, etc, on the 29th day of
September, 1916. The curtailing of
thecliberties of children, attending
school, etec., from August 24th to the
29th of September was for the purpose
of protecting children from Infantile
Paralysis, which not only claimed a
high death toll but leaves many of
the survivors cripples for years, and
often their entire lives.
‘It is to be hoped that the public and
those particularly in charge of schools
and other entertainments that bring
children together, will remember that
the danger has not entirely disap-
peared. Everything should be done to
promote. the general health cf the
children, and the parenis should con. |
tinue discipline that will keep them
from . unuecessary traveling in trol-
lies and railroad trains or congrega-
ting in buildings poorly ventilated.
The collecting of children together
just for their pleasure or the pleasure
of adults, or the making of a little
money might still be the cause of |
spreading Infantile Paralysis. It is to |
be hoped, therefore, that those in the
care of children will remember and
enforce the precautions they have
been taught during the threatened epi- |
demic in Pennsylvania.
Remember the fearful slaughter of
little chiléren in New York and New
Jersey from this disease, every exer- |
tion must be made from now until |
next spring to bring about the impro- !
vement of sanitary conditions tattry
and prevent any repetition of what |
we are yet passing through.”
