386ee451-45e9-4156-bca8-94b45fab0512 | This reduction in the average size of families is not local, and is disclosed by the Census returns for other parts of England and Wales. It is a natural consequence of the increase in the marriage rate in association with a heavily reduced birth-rate and an increased (allowing for war deaths) death-rate. The reduction... |
f465ff30-e92c-46a3-9c15-50d06ea5e1d9 | The ratio of two or more persons per room has been selected as an approximate comparative index figure for the purpose of measuring the prevalence and distribution of overcrowding conditions, but obviously it cannot be accepted as an absolute standard or a definition of overcrowding; other factors enter, such as the si... |
42d3a7b1-e85c-4a7c-8cbc-249e4a2b9322 | The percentage of the total family population living more than 2 persons to a room in 1921 was 10.7 compared with 10.4 in 1911. This percentage naturally is higher in the 1, 2 and 3 room tenements. In the 1 room tenements the percentage was 21, in the 2 roomed cues it was 28, and in the 3 roomed tenements it was 20. In... |
a96e6d06-0e11-4958-9854-e3474473792d | In families of one person each the average number of rooms per person is 2.36, and this number steadily and continuously goes down till it reaches .4 in the family of 14.

The total number of deaths belonging to the district is 599. The nett number of deaths corresponds to a death-rate of 9.5 per 1,000 inhabitants, which is the lowest record... |
d9267d7a-bfd3-42a4-a1e0-5e54f7feaf5a | There is an absolute reduction of 94 in the number of deaths in 1923 as compared with 1913. An inspection of the death-rates from different diseases shows that this reduction has not occurred uniformly from all causes. If we examine the causes of death in the last 10 years we find that the death-rates from certain dise... |
ebb95792-df2e-4310-b5c6-3e642714a126 | He was in the sanatorium for a couple of weeks only as at the end of December he had been discharged from the institution, Evidently by this time the lung symptoms 18 had cleared up, and the certificate stated that he was possibly suffering from Laryngeal Tuberculosis; that is, the diagnosis was preceded by a mark of i... |
dde483cc-c0b9-4b93-a0b4-ce588d94f12a | Cancer.—The subject of Cancer has excited considerable attention both in the medical and the lay Press, and a memorandum was issued by the Ministry of Health in July, 1923. Further memoranda have been issued. A conference of the different authorities within the Union was convened by the Brentford Board of Guardians, an... |
db4ee5e4-c349-4892-b5a0-a4af4061d8f3 | The same work was repeated in the United States and reported in the mortality statistics for 1920. The United States authorities arrived at precisely the same results—a greater increase of Cancer of accessible sites than of inaccessible. In spite of this, in the last 10 years at any rate, there has been no appreciable ... |
dc36c597-5a7e-45a2-adf2-87fc170d857c | The memorandum of the Ministry suggested that local authorities should consider the question of providing facilities for diagnosis and treatment, and whether propaganda work should be undertaken which would result in persons suffering from the disease seeking early advice and treatment. 19 As far as this district is co... |
469919c4-3c4a-4d3c-a47e-0014893eba18 | In some cases there is a diffidence to seek medical advice. Some people have a suspicion, or even a belief, that there is something the matter with them, but hug the knowledge to themselves from dread of the truth. Probably, these people form but a small minority. In the majority of instances, Cancer in the early stage... |
d0481805-5c9f-4a2f-ae60-daa05094ccb7 | If early advice were sought, the one from whom this would be sought would be the general practitioner, but the complaint of the doctor is that the patients do not come to him at a sufficiently early stage to enable him to apply successful treatment. There are certain facts about Cancer which ought to be known, and the ... |
e39623cb-d363-4293-a3ac-9766558929be | Whatever action is taken, much caution is needed in announcements to the public on Cancer in order to avoid over-statement, the making of promises which are not warranted by evidence or the production of needless and mischievous apprehensions of Cancer. Certain common sense rules of prophylaxis could, without any dange... |

29b087db-3928-47de-b3b7-bd4a30714931 | From an economic point of view, heart disease is the most important cause of death in the mortality tables. Owing to the incidence in different age periods the economic wastage in heart disease is greater than in most other diseases, particularly when one takes into account the years of invalidism that antedate the fat... |
6e338322-fdd6-427f-8fd1-e88a658be22c | Miller has pointed out in a recent paper that the percentage of hospital in-patients suffering with acute rheumatism has been almost halved in recent years. In addition to the work in the School Clinics and other centres there is a necessity to emphasise the importance of rheumatism, especially in children, and the des... |
cd3775ff-ecf0-4fae-9c1c-f7ac8f4bf455 | In New York, a society has been formed for the prevention and relief of heart disease. One curious fact has emerged from the activities of this society, viz., that Chorea or St. Vitus's Dance in its liability to leave permanent effects upon the heart was more difficult to control than ordinary rheumatic or throat cases... |
1440acb7-1e24-44fa-99d0-8fe643e84a7f | 22 A recurrence of the complaints occurred later in the year and also in the early part of 1924. In all cases the symptoms were similar. There was an eruption on the neck, and lower part of the face; the eruption was of an irritating character and persisted for a considerable time. In some of the cases in which the fur... |
a993a77f-1d53-4042-9705-68c25e51df88 | The fur was bought from a furrier in another area, and the coat was made on outworkers premises in a third area. We were fortunate in obtaining some of the implicated furs. These were sent to the Ministry of Health. Arrangements were made by the Ministry for the examination of these furs by an eminent chemist. As far a... |
1fcbee17-98f7-40a9-b4fc-c46466649588 | I had the opportunity of seeing his original photographs of rashes in fur workers and the experimental rashes he had induced on himself and others, and these rashes appeared to be identical with those which had appeared amongst the wearers of the furs. The cause has not been found in all cases, but Dr. Prosser White's ... |
89da3da9-f37a-4bb1-959e-0e3162a8b7b1 | Certain furs become fashionable and in order to supply the demand for this particular kind of fur, imitations and substitutes are prepared. There may be only a limited supply of the natural coloured skin which is popular for the season, and the demand of fashion fosters the preparation of the counterfeits. Hare is dyed... |
fe394f11-cd69-4930-a773-e954b872c7bf | The process of preparation has become a very complicated one, and though, as a rule, the dyes are the cause of illness, any of the processes may be so negligently carried out as to result in injury to the wearer of the fur. It was suggested that the irritation of the skin was due to arsenic, and a good deal of unnecess... |
61ce752d-4205-4e1d-8c88-18e20dd6c657 | This means that three pounds of the dyed fur contain about one grain of arsenic. Some furs have been sent for analysis, and particular mention was made that arsenic was not present. Arsenic is very seldom used at all in the curing of coney rabbit furs. The skins of sheep, goats, kids and other smaller animals are somet... |
bbd578bc-ffb3-473a-87ae-7494a0bcda12 | For this purpose the whole skin is immersed in some alkaline solution for two or three hours. The treatment with lime gives the brightest and clearest colours on dyeing afterwards. 24 Following this process, washing with plenty of water is highly necessary. Any lime left in the furs forms a caustic dust when it becomes... |
1abc2546-3675-4932-8d13-1e59a7c3ec87 | The skins are now ready for the dyeing process, and according to Dr. Prosser White, it is during this process that residues are left which give rise to the skin troubles among the wearers of, and the workers in, furs. Dyeing is comparatively a new art, a new fashion in the fur industry. Aniline dyes are now used in alm... |
b4ba80bb-de9d-4b2f-a843-cfb2dc7b1c00 | The latter is much more liable to cause trouble, as the solutions used are much more concentrated, ranging from six to twelve times stronger than the liquors required in the general method. Any faults in technique will cause the liberation of the residues of the dying reagents in the dye bath and on the materials. Some... |
7086953b-37cb-4871-9aed-c919a3d3b5b8 | In these circumstances the rash was not limited to the neck, but occurred also in the lower part of the face. Where a fur cape had been worn, the rash was usually limited to the neck. In some instances, the rash soon disappeared when the patient ceased wearing the fur. In others, the rash persisted for a consider able ... |
c46e658d-cd68-4424-98cb-974ffc69b3b2 | The retailer is not always able to trace the wholesaler from whom the fur was purchased, and between the wholesaler and the furrier, the skins may have passed through many hands, especially in the case of cloth coats trimmed with fur collars. A suggestion has been made that the symptoms—rashes—are due to "anaphylaxis."... |

57564dd2-ecbf-40b6-ae0c-d7abfde6e114 | 26 Infantile Mortality.—77 deaths occurred in children under one year of age. This number corresponds to an infantile mortality of 65 per 1,000 births. The infantile mortality is slightly higher than that of 1922, when it was 62 per 1,000 births. It is also slightly higher than that of London—60 per 1,000 births, but l... |

The fact that a child may have had an attack of Diphtheria which was missed, does not necessarily imply that the parents have been remiss or neglectful. The attack may have been so slight as to escape detection. Opht... |

In former Annual Reports it has been commented upon that Measles had become much less virulent.
