1e0ece41-0529-4dd6-9e5e-31e68df367b6 | It appears then that this disease attacks a very considerable portion of adults, but is in them seldom fatal. Dr. Ballard found the incidence proportional to population to be greatest between one and two years, and least between five and twenty-five years.

At 174 houses where babies under one year were found in the course of house to house inspection, it appeared that 82 per cent.... |

89e2a508-564d-4f8d-b600-4648e57782dd | Of those fed artificially, the great bulk are nourished either on fresh cows milk or on Nestle's condensed milk; the use of the cheap brands of condensed milk for the sole food 6 of infants is very exceptional, only one instance having been found among over 300 infants: two others were fed on cheap condensed milk along... |
ab38e604-b92e-49d4-88ff-657e27ac4184 | Prevalence of the Disease.—The house to house enquiry showed that 44 out of 211 children had had diarrhœa. If these are taken as a sample of the infantile population it follows that 20 per cent. of the whole number of children living under one year were affected by the recent epidemic. As the poorer streets are usually... |
a24cdbaf-4b69-400e-a26f-547f6ddd1224 | The fatality in older children and adults must be much less than this 7 judging from the information I obtained of mild cases occurring in families where children had died. In old people the disease seems to become again more fatal. Causes and mode of spread.—Infancy, artificial feeding, and high temperature, are seen ... |
1775b36f-d773-4175-856c-48fbc373aa34 | Artificial feeding also to the extent to which it is less nutritious than human milk diminishes resistance, but probably the principal reason why diarrhcea is so prevalent in bottle babies is the facility that bottle feeding offers for the conveyance of the infection from one patient to another. A mother who having att... |

On the whole it appears probable that in most cases the milk and other food which conveys the ... |

In 124 houses where phthisis occurred, only 28 were found dirty, although dirt is a contributory cause of phthisis. Out of 51 cases having fresh cows' milk in 48 instances the milk was always boiled before use. It... |
b184a484-62fb-47e9-a730-e4f01792dd12 | The excessive mortality of infants generally from diarrhœa is not due so much to the disease attacking them in larger proportion than adults, as to the fact that they easily succumb. Diarrhœa arrests nutrition, and infants are specially susceptible to anything that dœs this. Duration of Illness.—Out of 110 cases, 25 di... |
