Asks That Children Be Kept
Away From Crowds md
PubMe Gatimini^
—' ■‘•W-
In. an intenrlaw wUlFa repre
sentative of ’The Journal-Patriot
Dr. A. J. Eller, county health of
ficer, urged the people ot the
county to- take precantlona lest
their children contract Infantile
paralysis, the -disease that
malms perfectly normal children,
makes them cripples tor life and
often results in death.
The warning from the health
officer coones hk>ng with the
hews that there are around 800
cases of infantile puralyris In
North Carolina at this time and
one case has b^n reported In
Yadkin county. So tar there
has been no recent cases of the
disease In Wilkes and every ef
fort -will be made to keep down
Its spread.
Infantile paralysis is con
tagious and the most effective
means of prevention yet pre
scribed is to keep children away
from public gatherings and
places where they are likely to
come in contact with a child that
has already contracted the di^
ease. It can be passed from on^.^
to another by means of drinking
cups and in other ways, accord
ing to health authorities, and
parents will run a grave risk in
carrying their children on trips
and In.o public gatherings.
It is thought that i f people
will exercise the proper care and
caution the danger ot a wide
spread epidemic will be over by
August or late summer.
.at
the North iTa^gllna board of
health, has issued warnings
about the spread of the disease
and has offered advice to any
who are suspected ot contract
ing it.
Dr. Reynolds said “absolute
rest should be given all persons
suspected of having the disease.
He added that any massage or
manipulation ot the patient
would be harmful, and advised
against any sufferer with a mild
case getting up too soon.
He said 'there were three
stages ot the disease. The first,
he said, was aO' acute Infection
with fever, and he warned any
one having such symptoms to
remain quiet and consult a com
petent physician. H'he sejcond
stage, as outlined by the health
officer, comes in four pr five
days when the patient displays
signs of nervousness, and then
paralysis itself,' sets in, he said.
Dr. Reynolds revealed figures
showing that of the cases so
far this year, 85 per cent of the
sufferers have been under the
age ot 10 years, 58 per cent
coming under the five-year age.

Changes that are of interest
to everybody in the mercantile

merchants for resale. If sold to
merchants for resale the seller
must pay a tax of $10 to the
state end one-twentieth of one
per cent on all 'Wholesale salee.
However, the $10 payment is
credited to the whoIes.aier on his
one-twentieth of one per

of 1933 in force until July 1 tho
