    Of the cases admitted to the Isolation Hospital, five were trans- ferred, on discharg-e, to such hospital establishments as the Paybody Home, Keresley Hospital, Manfield Orthopaedic Hospital, and two cases were referred to the Orthopaedic Surg-eons at the Holy- head Road Orthopaedic Clinic. AU other cases were free from signs and symptoms of a paralytic nature before discharge. During- the epidemic, there were 656 special visits to nurseries by school nurses and a total of 940 home visits.
