abce7fdb-4018-4b2b-ada7-d2e5345aea87 | Besides, modern methods of diagnosis probably result in Cancer being inserted as the cause of death in an increasing number of cases.

a67b6fd9-64a7-4d94-a6a4-54d7e00b6fb6 | Post-vaccinal encephalitis is something which is new to us, and like encephalitis Iethargica, which is all but new, it introduces us to new problems, and increases the difficulties of combating Small-pox. It has been suggested that the cases, are a variation of infantile paralysis, but the incubation period and age dis... |
105c7975-6101-4958-8ef2-8fa1eebefbca | "Post-vaccinal encephalitis continues to occur in Holland. In the first six months of 1928 its incidence was the same as in 1927, one case per 2800 vaccinations. During five weeks, lymph was used which had been obtained from countries where postvaccinal encephalitis is unknown, but in spite of the small numbers of vacc... |
dcef1dad-6890-4cf9-9db2-d390a9f6fb05 | Turnbull suggests that in this country there are about one case to 17,000 vaccinations. The occurrence of these cases have been used as an argument against vaccination, but it is really one of the strongest arguments in favour of vaccination in infancy. It is a disease of children rather than of infants or adults, thou... |

The case subsequently behaved like an ordinary case of Scarlet Fever and the skin of the body peeled. The number of sore thr... |
d4258492-e100-4d4f-a8ec-333a3abd53af | All these factors have a bearing upon the spread of infection, especially in schools, and also upon the procedure adopted in dealing with contacts. The difficulty with Scarlet Fever in school control varies inversely with the severity of the disease. Seldom dees a grave clinical condition introduce school problems; a c... |
69c1fe81-4ed0-4973-b44f-423aafe00b99 | In towns, school closure as a preventive measure, has been abandoned, and disinfection is looked upon with suspicion, and when practised at all, done in a manner to satisfy a superstition rather than to remedy a known ill. The modern doctrine 1928 25 is based upon the assumption that endemic infections of children are ... |
6146bf7a-fecc-4108-9ce3-ed62e28e6a80 | But the contact, unless he is a carrier, or incubating the disease, is no more concerned with the spread or infection than is the desk, and probably the incubator, if at any time the is capable of conveying infection can only do so for very short periods. There is no new evidence to upset the time-honoured doctrine tha... |
55696bbc-15b2-4ab6-9730-8cdc8f576092 | As far back as 1922 we abandoned the procedure of excluding Diphtheria and Scarlet Fever contacts from school attendance for a certain time placing them, as it were, in quarantine. Formerly it was the practice to exclude from school for a fortnight all children from a house where a case of Scarlet Fever or Diphtheria h... |

If they are free of symptoms they are allowed to return to school, where they can be kept under observation. At the end of a fortnight they are ... |
23d2e0b6-3ee3-43ea-b30e-8ca49dff0cfa | All the deaths occurred in the first half of the year, and in every instance death was due to delay in carrying out the appropriate treatment. Broadly speaking, no one dies from diphtheria who is treated with antitoxin on the first day of the disease. Each day's delay in giving antitoxin increases enomously the risk of... |
a9d29c89-3a8a-4ffa-8d83-6919a69e8aee | Swabbing should not be relied on for diagnosis except in adults or in children showing no exudate. Many fatalities in children are due to the time lost in awaiting the result of the swab and in relying on a negative result as excluding diphtheria, which it does not; frequently true cases have given negative results pri... |

The number of cases reported here was too small to generalise, but they seemed to be similar in character to the cases which occurred in London in 1928, and really formed part of that ... |

Moreover, it is contended that each has its own clinical characteristics which in many cases at least,... |

5b3d4439-fb58-4809-8b2b-5397adacd4a0 | Most Infant Welfare Centres have for years been instrumental in the cheap distribution of Cod liver oil, and the instruction given at these Centres included the importance of proper clothing of infants and the inculcation of the cult of the open air. Very few people are aware of the many and varied efforts of Health Vi... |
92897489-2bff-4e2a-b6d7-f2a6b64d437b | We can therefore claim to have applied the results of these researches in the prevention of rickets, but during many months of the year the amount of sunshine in towns is negligible, and certainly not sufficient to exert any curative influence. In this country heliotherapy and actinotherapy are of necessity combined be... |
71759e36-dbb5-4712-8a85-1e1915808681 | If we are to apply both ultra-violet and Cod liver oil in the treatment of rickets, the former can only be obtained during certain periods by artificial means, and it is not very helpful to be told that Vitamin D can be more economically produced by Cod liver oil alone, unless it can also be shown that such Vitamin can... |

8acd161d-e4ab-4dc0-a0b6-1a55978e422a | These new methods instead of being confined to those qualified to use them are in danger of becoming the prey of unqualified smatterers and downright quacks. A treatment capable of so much good and of so much harm should be administered only by those with the requisite knowledge and skill. It is well known that the tre... |
