had any connection with the number] of reported cases of poliomyelitis.
Dr Graham-Cumming said that the majority of polio cases at the infectious diseases hospital at Laichikok were all under four years old. These are children, mainly from poorer class families, who said they were not in the habit of swimming in Lui- chikok bench,
All of the children were using nuppies, which were either burned in incinerators or strongly disinfected after use so that polio patients' discharges are not washed down the sewer to the sen.
Older patients' discharges were strongly disinfected, Dr
Graham-Cumming said.
The Deputy Director of Medical and Health Services asid that the question of polio resulting from sea water has come up before, but there has been no proof of the connection.
"We have not been able to trace the pollo virus to sea
water," he said.
Reports have been circulating, to the effect that the Bowers which enter the sea near the swimming areas at Laichikok have been the cause of 起 cases of polio,
