f528d3b4-69dd-4d04-9493-9c926855b117 | The occurrence of an epidemic depends, so far as we know, solely upon a sufficient accumulation of susceptible children under conditions allowing the introduction of infection and free personal communication. The long incubation period, the insidious approach of the invasion period, the late appearance of the rash are ... |
984298ed-75b2-4de8-a5f0-e889abfa538e | It was there shown that epidemics of Measles occurred every second year with almost automatic regularity and that the district was visited by a major epidemic at intervals of 4, 3, 4 and 6 years respectively. |

06371949-5f5a-4c59-8769-d1f5a2b8e1b3 | The mortality from Measles is confined almost entirely to the first five years of life, and as the birth-rate has continuously declined since 1894, the population of children under five is smaller now than it was twenty years ago. If the mortality from Measles was stated in terms of the population under five years of a... |
678e4286-c3de-4540-b20d-2d03d2f8b452 | The truth is, that after a certain period, the older the child, the less susceptible he is to the disease, and even if they contract the disease, children over five years of age rarely 18 succumb. The age at which relatively the greatest number of children die of Measles is the second year of life; while after the thir... |

c4414e70-2099-4e1a-9099-4838fd8b1e9a | The above figures, of course, do not represent the relative number of cases at different ages which occurred last year. The majority of cases which come to the knowledge of the Sanitary Department would be children of school age, and Measles occurring among young children would remain unreported. The figures though are... |

The isolation of every case of Measles from the first onset to the end of the third week would undoutedly enable an outbreak to be brought abrubptly to a close, as no second crop of cases would occur. It would also lim... |
a8d22c95-714f-4957-962f-713cb661c1b6 | There is no greater or more pernicious superstition than that which is so widely held, namely, that a child must have Measles. No condemnation can be too strong for the practice of wilfully exposing other members of the family to this infection. The difficulty experienced in the prevention of the spread of Measles in s... |
827d1644-0be1-41b4-b036-6bcc6553323c | When the cases occurred amongst school children during these two months, the symptoms in all instances made their appearance towards the week end, and the children had not attended school subsequently to the appearance of the initial symptoms of Measles. In December a case occurred in the Priory School. This child atte... |
e0467233-4cf6-4b0b-a873-4e47ffd79ffd | It was hoped that by the adoption of these methods an epidemic would have been delayed, at any rate, for some months, and the postponement of an epidemic from the winter to the summer would have justified almost any steps, however drastic. In industrial districts a Measles epidemic is in many ways a less formidable occ... |

In the Southfield Road Infants Department, one child was excluded from Class II on January 27th. On February 6th, nine cases were reported from Class V. It was decided to close... |
2e25dceb-6d81-402f-b2dd-78c5b73aa9ac | Before Easter the outbreak was confined to the northern part of the district, but on the reopening of the schools after the Easter holidays cases occurred in the Rothschild Road, 23 South Acton, Beaumont Park and Priory Schools. It was in South Acton that the majority of the deaths occurred. It is usually found that Me... |

222a3703-b3f7-4f39-82c5-c2fc5fd225ae | School closure has probably more frequently taken place on account of epidemics of Measles than for any other disease, 25 but as the closure has been commonly deferred until a large proportion of the children are already absent, it has proved useless, in populous districts at least, for the purpose of preventing the sp... |

Under different conditions, all these procedures were adopted in this district, but their success was only partial. In a majority of instances, in practical... |

It would possibly effect an improvement in the immediate mortality from measles, but in many instances the homes are so unsatisfactory that the children are better off in school, in spite of the ris... |

49c911f5-d4b5-4d18-a88a-2fd9fd98a06d | Other measures, such as hospital treatment of selected cases, would no doubt be instrumental in saving many lives. All these measures, which are now being utilised in directly combating Measles, will result in a fall of the death-rate for Measles, but possibly more good will result from indirect measures. Improved hous... |

Dr. Hamer analysed the facts as to certain localised prevalences of Enteric Fever in London in 1910, and arrived at the conclusion that ... |
