Site was only home a few days when she was stricken with the disease. There is Only one eau - elusion that one could come to and that is, that she picked it up while on her holiday. She was a steno- grapher with a very good position but her right naso was paralysed. This is a very serious disease, the vitcetim may either die or, • be paralysed for life, There are over eleven hundred cases • in Ou-' tatlo to date, Think of Britt •for a moment if you will.
