3552ebed-0071-47f0-a83e-8949adf3e25a | Under certain conditions, though, Tuberculosis seems to be more likely of being communicated from one person to another. The children of tubercular parents, for instance, are more likely than others to become tuberculous, and in six of 43 the deaths in Acton in 1909 one of the parents had previously succumbed to the di... |
344db9e2-caa0-4042-998d-9c7ae71b678e | A case of Consumption occurred in the Accountant's Department in 1907. The patient was off duty on account of the disease in April 1907 and was admitted to the Northwood Sanatorium for treatment. He succumbed to the disease in May 1908. In August 1909 another official in the Accountant's Department had an attack of Hae... |
777741b0-cca3-48e4-9535-9c2b79178c9f | It is always very difficult to ascertain the date of the onset of the disease. It is certain that in the two second cases in each department the onset of the first symptoms was much earlier than the date of the incapacitation from duty, and the date of the infection with tubercle is thrust still further back. As stated... |
398ed41e-77fb-48e8-afb4-320fe1b924d2 | In the second case there was no family history of Tubercle, but the nature of his work may have predisposed him to attack. He was employed as a pattern maker, and the workshop was dusty. This may have rendered him susceptible to attack, and to infection at the house where he lodged. Although an exaggerated fear of infe... |
12ea4cf5-83c7-453a-b768-431cb5364525 | It is more urgently necessary that instruction should be given to those more directly exposed to tuberculous infection, and the value of notification is especially evident in this direction. The Council adopted the principle of voluntary notification in June 1903, the sum of 2s. 6d. being paid for each case notified. T... |
01b75415-5fdb-4bdc-9b55-062fcb4891d5 | It is during the last four or five weeks of the illness that the danger of infection is greatest. The segregation which occurs under Poor Law Administration and special hospitals has the effect of removing the source of infection at a time when such infection is greatest. It also increases the resources of the family a... |
a8fa403d-9777-484a-a157-839fcbb3143b | In 1905 five cases were admitted. At the end of 1909 two of these were dead, two had left the district and one was still able to work. The last case was a fairly early one, and was fortunate in finding an outdoor occupation on his discharge. In 1906 ten cases were admitted. Of these five are dead, two have left the dis... |
433ccf2e-0a24-41a5-aa09-3f4c8adca474 | In almost all the cases the immediate results were gratifying, and when early and suitable cases can be secured a considerable percentage may be returned to the ranks of active workers and remain in those ranks for several years. The percentage gets smaller as the interval since their discharge increases. To procure la... |
406b8a23-758c-4181-941f-fd7d3668032c | If persons suffering from Consumption could undergo treatment in the earliest stages, the majority of them could probably resume their ordinary occupations. Under present conditions, patients relapse after a three or four months sojurn in a Sanatorium for want of a suitable employment. It is easy to say that an attempt... |
3fdc61ee-5bc8-41ac-a861-ac073508f327 | The Council has for some years undertaken the bacteriological examination of all suspicious cases, and during the last year 51 such examinations were made. In some places Tuberculosis Dispensaries have been instituted. The object of these institutions is to secure early diagnosis for patients suspected to be suffering ... |

Consumpt... |

bedfc93c-01e4-46df-ae53-728484a5f863 | The relatively cool summer undoubtedly had great influence on the prevalence of diarhΕal diseases, but other causes have also been in operation. Many agencies, municipal and voluntary, have been instrumental in spreading 50 information on the important question of breast-feeding, but the most effective work has been do... |
0d0a4cfc-3e22-4638-8a5a-c74fc50044f3 | It is unnecessary here to enter into the various theories regarding the causation of Summer diarrhoea, and in what manner breast-fed infants are rendered comparatively immune. It is sufficient to know that breast-fed infants rarely succumb to diarrhΕeal diseases. Last year only two breast-fed infants died from diarrhoe... |
6c50cb30-a018-453a-bc77-072405c81208 | Thirty of the deaths occurred in the South-West Ward and three in the South-East Ward. The milk supply of the SouthWest Ward does not differ largely from that of the other Wards, yet the mortality from diarrhoeal diseases was almost entirely confined to that Ward. The explanation is, that diarrhoeal diseases are depend... |
221b7260-67eb-4de9-a6c7-534da48a1474 | For many reasons it is advisable to deal with deaths from Pneumonia and Bronchitis together. In a report to the Local Government Board, Dr. Foulerton states that when the relative mortality from Bronchitis and Pneumonia is tested by the results of actual examination of the lungs in children after death from respiratory... |

Of the six who were stated not to have had any previous illness, the... |
d5eca3f3-bf64-4d3d-a78f-408cc8511448 | It will be found also that many of the deaths in the first year are associated with marasmus, whether that condition is due to prematurity of birth or be caused by artificial feeding. Association of pneumonia with rickets also becomes noticeable towards the end of the first year. The broncho-pneumonia, which is the chi... |
0c617031-55fe-4f5a-b871-715e5d3da025 | When this condition operates in conjunction with insanitary conditions, in the summer months deaths from DiarrhΕal Diseases result, and in the winter months deaths from Respiratory Diseases. There were 28 deaths from Prematurity, compared with 25 in 1908. There were also 21 deaths from Congenital Debility and Marasmus,... |
19731472-1fed-4851-b2a3-d4b850823289 | The other three mothers were employed as laundresses, and the hours of work were stated to be about 12 hours a day. It is doubtful if work is injurious to the expectant mother, provided it is not heavy or prolonged. The influence of industrial employment is largely masked by the general state of poverty. Possibly, the ... |
a075f080-3dc6-4649-bbfc-ff04c1c949a1 | It is interesting to note, though, that the mortality from the disease has been consistently highest in the North-East Ward, and lowest in the South-East Ward. In 1909 this peculiarity in its distribution has not been so marked. For the last four years the average yearly mortality has been over 1 per 1,000 in the North... |
