TWO AFFLICTED WITH INFANTILE FARAIY*
SIS
Jerry KcKechnie, 4 year old son of
Rav KcKechnie, has been seriously
ill with Infantile Paralysis during
the past week; but at this writing
is showing signs of improvement.
Little Bud Campbell, 7 year old
son of Harry Campbell, has taken
ill recently with what appears to
be Infantile Paralysis. Both cases
are being watched closely by Dr..
Bernice Andrews and the Public
Health Nurse, Miss Rose Guralnick.
It is probable that there have beer
other mild cases in the Valley
which were thought to be 'only
colds'. It ,is In this manner that
the disease spreads and breaks out
In Isolated areas.

son of Mrs Ailean Venne Faddis
passed away Saturday morning Nov.
20, 1943. The cause of his sudden
death is as yet undetermined. Mrs.

INfAiYflU Mk A LYSIS
STKIICHS IN ?ALiVI£K.
In view of the fact that Infantile
paralysis has appeared in our com
munity, we should like to urge
everyone to observe the following*
Every seemingly minor illness
should be regarded with great sus
picion since this disease begins
with such slight symptoms rs head
ache, sore throat, nausea, stomach
ache, slight fever, and just general
ill feeling. Every sick child should
be put to bed, kept at complete
r ;st, and Isolated from the rest of
the family. Report to the doctor if
the illness does not improve in two
or three days,
DO NOT BRING THE CHILD TO THE
DOCTOR'S OFFICE.
Keep children away from crowds. In
fantile paralysis as well as spinal
meningitis are likely to be picked
up where many people congregate.
Remember that good nutirit.lon, clean
liness, handwashing particularly,
proper ventilation In the home,are
genera}, measures in preventing Ill
ness. Undue fatigue and chilling of
the body are two things definitely
