Raleigh, July 10—Although one additional case of infantile paralysis has been reported, this one from Lee County, the State board of health still reports that there is no epidemic of this disease, and that the number of cases at this time of year is about normal. The disease is most prevalent through July and August, as it is distinctly a hot weather disease. The last case, from Lee County, was reported July 9th. One case was reported from Guilford County July 8th. To date, 13 cases have been reported in the state, eight of the 13 being in Rowan County.
