In one case the preparation of ham, beef, &c., for sale was found to be carried on under very unsatisfactory conditions, but on my intervention drastic changes were at once made by the owner. 15 Most of the meat sold in the district comes from the Central Meat Market, and has therefore been already carefully examined. ...

These are frequently inspected. The report of Mr. Houghton, the County Inspector under the Food and Drugs Act, who doubtless gives as much time to this district as his very large area of work allows, is given on page 49. The Sewerage and Drainage of the District was referred to in detail in my report for 1908, and in t...

16 The Disposal of House Refuse is still conducted on the lines which have now obtained for some years, and complaints from persons residing in the new houses near to the dock at which the carts tip their contents into the barges are of frequent occurrence. The question of the provision of a dust destructor has again, ...

Trade refuse is now, I am glad to say, removed by the Council's scavengers by arrangement with those tradespeople who are willing. Complaints frequently reach the Sanitary Department from householders who are aggrieved by the deposition of rubbish in the secondary means of access to their houses. In some parts of the d...

Such person is usually the person aggrieved, and not the person who causes the nuisance to occur. The work undertaken with regard to Nuisances is summarized in tables given on pp. 56 and 57 by Mr. Grylls, to whoseexperience and tact the district has for so many years been indebted. It will be seen that the house-to-hou...

Bye-Laws. For some years past I have, in these reports, alluded to the desirability of some Bye-Law being adopted that would check the construction of double tenements with inordinate "back additions." Early in 1909 the matter was considered by the Council, and after a conference with officials of the Local Government ...

The proposed addition and new Bye-Law are as follows:β€” (i) Every person who shall erect a new domestic building of which any part projects in the rear from the main part of such building shall, in addition to the open space required to be provided in connection with such building by any Bye-Law in that behalf, provide ...

If the height of such projecting part be not less than 15 feet, or the length not less than 25 feet, but the height be less than 25 feet and the length less than 25 feet, he shall cause such distance to be 7 feet 6 inches at the least, or, If the height of such projecting part be not less than 25 feet, or the length no...

19 (ii) That where a window shall be so constructed as to open into an enclosed court or area open only at the top to the external air, such window shall not be deemed to comply with the requirements of the Bye-Law, unless the distance across such court or area, measured from the opening of the wall in which such windo...

On November 13th, 1908, a Home Office Order was issued declaring the greater part of Section 81, the whole part of Section 85 (Registries for Servants), the whole part of Section 86 (Marine Stores, etc.), Part 8 and Part 9 of the Public Health Acts Amendment Act, 1907, to be in force in this district. The steps necessa...

R. D. Mackintosh, has been available in case of sickness or accident, and has been kept at the Council's depot. 20 Owing to the generosity of Dr. Mackintosh and the committee presided over by him, this excellent ambulance has been presented to the Council, and will be in future be maintained by them under Section 50 of...

It will be sufficient now to state that the non-provided (National) schools at Mortlake have been considerably improved; that the new infants' (Council) school at Mortlake is completed and in use ; and that the new Council mixed school, close to the scavenging dock in Lonsdale Road, has also been completed. The playgro...

I understand that the condition of these schools, perhaps the best of the older buildings, is under consideration. The old-fashioned trough closets should certainly be abolished, and the cottage adjoining, used for residential purposes, should be otherwise employed. 21 As the Urban District of Barnes does not, as yet, ...

Jones, I continue gladly to carry on the somewhat thankless task of examining school attendance cases. Owing to an expression of opinion at the Mortlake Petty Sessional Court that medical evidence should always be forthcoming in cases of prosecution for non-attendance owing to dirt, vermin, &c., and the apparent reluct...

22 Here a rather noteworthy sequence of events occurred. On the occurrence of two or three cases advantage was taken of the power to close a department only of the school. This was done because the existence of one or two carriers was suspected, and proved; and also in order that the classroom should be cleansed. Forme...

There has been no change in our methods of dealing with infectious disease during the year, and the cases which occurred will be dealt with on a subsequent page. At the Isolation Hospital a new and admirable ward block has been completed under Mr. Tomes' supervision, and is satisfactory in every way. It is proposed to ...

Carter & Sons, and the old ambulance, now repaired and improved, and adapted for use, should it be necessary to remove patients at any time to the County Small Pox Hospital at Clandon. The old block at the Hospital is about to undergo some necessary alterations to the sanitary annexes, and then will be, no doubt, renov...

Of these cases, 6 had marked laryngeal symptoms on admission; one died suddenly after temporary improval; one, aged 7 months, died of broncho-pneumonia after successful intubation; two others recovered after intubation, and two without operation One of the successful cases of intubation was, on admission, just convales...

It was, therefore, a matter of considerable anxiety to prevent cross infections, etc., but the success of the arrangements which we were, after 1907, able to make, together with the unwearying assistance of 24 Miss Bellinger, were such as to somewhat modify the views formerly held by me of the methods whereby which spr...

It is, however, absolutely essential for the success of this method that there should never be any diminution in the full amount of air space allotted to each patient, that the equipment of the wards should be kept up to a certain level, and that there should be a sufficient number of wards. If experience confirms thes...

It is a pity that there is no machinery for their official inspection, as is the case with asylums, workhouses and infirmaries ; and, though perhaps it is hardly within my province to make the suggestion, still there have been official enquiries into subjects of, perhaps, less importance to the community than the provi...

Of course some of the latter cases were notified to us several times from different persons; the district medical officer, the relieving officer, the medical officer of the infirmary at Richmond, and so on. In every instance the premises inhabited or vacated by notified persons was visited; the appropriate leaflet of i...

It is hesitation in diagnosis that causes most loss of life from phthisis, and there is no excuse for it now that a definite opinion means bold and often successful treatment, 26 By referring to the table given on page 41, the number of cases of Infectious Disease notified during 1909 will be seen. The fifty-six cases ...

The severity of the cases, and the proportion of those with laryngeal implication was, however, considerable. Our laryngeal cases of diphtheria usually come from Mortlake, and a good many cases of false croup are seen amongst the poor of that parish. The table on page 47 affords an opportunity of comparing our yearly r...

It is true that sixteen cases of typhoid fever were notified during 1909. All but three of these, however, were due to the conveyance of the specific virus from outside the district. The circumstances of this outbreak call for narration and comment. On February 9th, I received from Dr. G. Hovenden intimation that a chi...

On February 14th, I saw a fourth case, a child of eighteen months, and in this instance the common factor was also present. Enquiries and activity had, however, already been set on foot, and a purveyor of milk, whose premises were outside this district, agreed to sterilize all milk sold by him. Dr. Caldwell Smith, the ...
0acf3c9f-1cc0-4bf0-b538-72ce561d6f19
Enquiries as to the 28 source of the milk revealed the fact that it was derived from 36 farms in Wiltshire, and, by February 19th, it had been found that at a certain farm one child had been ill for weeks with typhoid fever. The father of the child, though under contract to inform the London purveyor of any case of ill...

By this time the mother of the child just alluded to was also recognised to be suffering from typhoid, and we learned that some months previously another child belonging to the same family had suffered from an illness thought at the time to be tuberculous meningitis. We found, moreover, that one of the farm hands was s...

The most careful enquiry failed to reveal the most remote contingency that we could think of for the infection of the first child, who, at the time, was thought to have tuberculous meningitis. Only the water supply of the farm from a neighbouring hill could be implicated by those who are not ashamed to believe in the 2...

There are several other points of interest, notably the enormous importance of the correct diagnosis made, under difficult circumstances, by Dr. Hovenden. This diagnosis was arrived at on clinical grounds, though disputed for weeks by the pathologists of a first-rate London Hospital. Although of course most of the case...

Valuable as it is for Medical Officers of Health in towns to be supplied, by purveyors of milk, with lists of their sources of supply, it would be infinitely better were dairy farmers compelled to furnish 30 local Medical Officers of Health with the names of the purveyors to whom they send supplies. If this had been do...

Three cases of typhoid that occurred during 1909 had no relation to this outbreak. In one instance the history pointed to ice cream, purchased at Hammersmith, as the vehicle: in another the lad had drunk water from Beverley Brook, and in the third there was a history of personal contact with a convalescent patient outs...

Somewhat abruptly, towards the end of 1909, this arrangement was determined by the Surrey County Council, as it was felt that a task which had been shared by the numerous Medical Officers of Health throughout the county, would be better carried out by a lady who would devote half her time to it, and half to the work of...

I understand, also, that the suggestion was made that Medical Officers of Health engaged in practice might be induced to take a favourable view of a midwife's work if she were in the habit of calling him in in emergencies, although most, if not all such Medical Officers have been, in the past, glad that their quasi-jud...

32 About one half the confinements occurring during 1909 were treated by the midvvives registered under the Act, and the results were certainly extremely good. There is no doubt but that the fact that women attended by midwives cannot so easily procure the early administration of chloroform as when attended by a doctor...
76402b22-b269-4e83-9baf-13aa60198cae
I hold strongly that any chief Inspector of midwives should be a qualified practitioner, either male or female, and am supported in this opinion by most, if not all, Medical Officers of Health. The estimate given in Table I. of the population of this district for the year 1909, exceeds that for 1908 by 2,000. The estim...

The number of births registered in Barnes proper was 278β€” eight less than in 1899; Morlake, however, is to be credited 33 with no less than 425, or more than twice as many as ten years ago (Table II). The number of deaths of infants under one year of age registered in the district was only 62. This is the lowest number...

The deaths of residents registered in public institutions beyond the district were, so far as ascertained, 44. This number is greater than in any former year, because greater pains have been taken to collect the particulars. Their inclusion, however, though bringing the corrected death rate up to 10.5, still leaves us ...

have been already referred to, but in connection with what has just been said it may be pointed out that, of 19 cases of phthisis 14 occurred in Mortlake. I am old-fashioned enough to still believe in Dr. Buchanan's classical researches, and think that the connection of the disease with damp soil is undoubted. In Table...

Forty-six deaths were due to bronchitis or pneumonia, and again the record from Mortlake is far the worst. Table V. affords particulars of the deaths of children under one year of age, and in this table the deaths of a few which occurred in the infirmary or elsewhere are included. The deaths from diarrhoea and enteriti...

The administration of the Factory and Workshops' Act has gone on smoothly. The official tables are given on pp. 51 to 53, and additional information on page 54. In one or two instances the Surveyor (Mr. Tomes) has been informed of places in which the provision of means of escape from fire has seemed inadequate, and gen...

With this opinion I heartily concur, and have indeed for years past referred to the matter, although I sincerely hope that there will be no attempt at providing an open-air bath filled from the Thames. But, whether or no a swimming bath of any kind is furnished, there is in my opinion distinct need for public single ba...

Although for the purpose of this report I have made a very careful estimate, and have, as in former years, checked my computation by reference to the rate books, yet the possibilities of my being wide of the mark are very considerable, inasmuch as, since the last census, the character of the district has changed almost...

I refer to the infantile death-rate, calculated as it usually is on the number of births during the year. Here we can record progress, without fear of cavil. In the year 1901, 420 babies were born, and 56 died under the age of twelve months. This gave an infantile death-rate of 133 per 1,000 births. In 1910, 682 births...

On page 60 is a table which shews, year by year, the number of inhabited houses as computed each Midsummer by the ratecollectors ; and, from a study of this and from other facts, I reckon the population of the whole district for 1910 to have been 32,500 and the respective populations of the two parishes of Barnes and M...

The change is, I suppose, to be chronicled as one of development " ; and the figures that I have to record at any rate shew that the process, let it be called what it may, has not been accompanied by the more manifest ill effects of urbanization, and that, so far as morbidity and liability to zymotic disease are concer...

In Mortlake and Sheen, on the 13 other hand, the new property is less substantial and less expensive, and is particularly designed to attract the newly-married town worker. Consequently, a tendency which I have noted for some time past has become accentuated, and, without doubt, the figures of the new census, when inve...

The figures will be found in Tables I. and 11., on pages 53 and 54.

Some desultory correspondence with the Local Government Board has ensued, I believe, but practically the matter stands, I very much regret to say, as it did ten years ago, when I first brought it to the notice of the Council. In the meantime the virtual loss to the rates from the melancholy condition of what is known a...

A landlord cannot be made to pull down other people's houses because they block out the light from his own property; and, as I have repeatedly said, the intrinsic characteristics of some of the cottages are not so bad. Some indeed, if placed on the Surrey hills and kept clean, would make quite nice week-end resorts; du...

We are of course, as I heard it lately put with unconscious humour, all in favour of clearing unhealthy areas " without cost to the rates or loss to owners of property." But, when it is a question of road widening, the cost is cheerfully borne by the community, though here, if anywhere, is a just opportunity of effecti...
