Polio In Increase
Throughout States
Infantile paralysis cases in 1949
are running far ahead of 1944—
the second worst polio year in U.
S. history.
Au Associated Press survey to
day showed 6.935 cases over the
nation through July 27. with 337
polio deaths. N
In 1944 the total for the same
date was 4.176. Totals for 1944
eventually reached 19.029, topped
only by 27,363 in 1916.
The U. S. public health service
in Washington reported the 6,339
cases as of July 23 this year was
38.4 per cent highey than the 4,580
reported through the same date in
1948—and 1948 was a near-record
year.
The polio appeared to be gain
ng strength with the hot weather.
Government figures showed 1,444
new cases during the week end
ing July 23. This was an increase
of 47.5 per cent over the same
week of 1948, which had 979.
For the most part the polio up
surge appeared to be fairly evenly
distributed over the nation. Only
scattered epidemic areas were re
ported.
