Georgia Polio
Gases Increase
The number of polio cases re¬
ported in Georgia for the first
seven months of 1953 has
92, according to the Georgia De
partment of Public Health. In the
same period last year, 60 cases
had been reported.
Of the cases reported this year,
"4 are new and 18 are delayed
cases that began in 1952 and were
not reported to authorities in time
to be included in 1952 reports,
Of last year’s 60 cases, 51 were
new at the time.
The week ending June 27 this
year saw 17 new cases reported
and the previous week showed 15
new cases. Reports for both weeks
were higher than for correspond
ing weeks last year.
July and August have been in
in previous years the largest polio
months.
Fulton County with 25 cases has
had more this year than any other
county in Georgia. With Fulton’s
population at over 479,000, this
amounts to about five cases or
every 100,000 persons. The coun
ty Lad reported only three eases
in the same period last year. How
ever, one case in a county of 10,
000 causes a much higher polio
rate than 25 cases in heavily-pop¬
ulated Fulton County.
Georgia’s 74 new* cases are dis¬
tributed throughout the counties
as follows: 25 in Fulton; four in
Muscogee; three each in Bartow,
Bibb, Chatham, Cobb and Spald¬
ing; two each in DeKalb, Haber-

the other states make their re¬
ports; and some cases that are
rapidly fatal are reported on death
