d7b8b528-37af-4a1b-b08c-88b1483cee78 | The present proposals, as they affect Acton, would make the Middlesex County Council the local authority for the purposes of the Act. It is probable that the authorities at the Middlesex Guildhall will not be fully acquainted with the course of events and the trend of opinion here, and if proposals are made, irrespecti... |
890bc90e-55ad-4fc6-9ecf-c26660a335ac | As the factors operating in this direction have in recent reports been fully commented on, it is unnecessary to deal with them again, but so far the same influences which have hitherto affected the increase in institutional confinements, seem still to be in operation. DEATHS. 417 deaths were registered in the district;... |
cc1d29d8-eea1-46bb-b20e-ba9febebb353 | The comparability factor for Acton is 1.08. The standardised death-rate for Acton would be 11.01 per 1,000 inhabitants.

d5219042-0b9a-4d37-afb4-5a4f04f81f79 | Some of the causes for this freedom from illnesses which are particularly fatal were not due to any human thought or action. Although we have learnt to control many of the diseases which occur in epidemics, the so-called infectious diseases, there are others which still make their appearance with a regular periodicity ... |
bf198c74-f612-40ab-8003-515cdc8b99c8 | These were the conditions which may be said to be accidental in their nature, but there are grounds for stating that there is a general improvement in freedom from disease, and if there had not been a re-distribution in the age incidence of the population, record low death-rates would have been observed in the last few... |
b4689a2a-3db0-49a2-acbd-c647cb004aa8 | Formerly we were apt to define health as some negative quantity, merely a freedom from disease, but we are far from satisfied now with that definition. We do not consider a person healthy unless he is in such a physical condition that he can enjoy life to the full. The diseases which were particularly fatal in the nine... |
610e7f22-ffb5-4b7e-a618-52f5f21debeb | Formerly in the infantile mortality list, diarrhoea was by far the most formidable disease, and some deaths every year occurred from suffocation from overlaying. Another noticeable change has been not only the general improvement, but the especial improvement of some of the areas. Formerly the death-rate of the South-W... |
8254cede-e344-493e-93ef-8409ce63ec30 | I have pointed out the diseases which have increased in their incidence and most of these are associated with the altered age distribution of the population, but there is one cause of death which has not only relatively but absolutely increased, and that is deaths from violence. Such causes, of course, as being knocked... |

0e0d204c-c69e-4938-b5c8-0c84fa2c785b | Sydenham named the disease from the appearance of the rash, and from his time the presence of the punctate rash of the skin has been regarded as an essential element of the clinical picture, but there are reasons for thinking that the same strain of the haemolytic streptococcus may in one person cause the train of symp... |
051796d9-90ef-480e-9dbb-2383eb680893 | The hospitalisation of large numbers (here the vast majority) of patients suffering from so-called Scarlet Fever, has quite failed to 27 control the incidence of the disease, and the reasons are fanmily to every epidemiologist. A doctor will not notify a case unless the classical symptoms are present, and especially th... |
853aeb11-f6c6-4b8f-ba85-818ab66a2aa1 | Scarlet fever is a disease which requires, in the majority of cases, skilled treatment; medical, nursing, dietetic, &c., and the sequelae and complications require prompt treatment. Apart from the treatment, it is an infectious disease, and for three or four weeks at least the patient is infectious; so that, even if th... |
dc2cbeab-12af-437a-873c-b3f14e826ad1 | In inter-epidemic years, this, of course, would be obviously incorrect; last year there was not at any time any pressure upon our accommodation. One of the cases had been in hospital four weeks, one four weeks and four days, and the third five weeks. In 1927, a memorandum was issued by the Ministry of Health, as a resu... |

The increase, from diarrhoea is not easily explainable, as the third quarter of 1935 was not characterised by the weather usually associated with digestive disturbances. There ... |

d02076a7-c101-41b8-a3a6-416ff6353bf8 | In Acton, the infant mortality began to fall about 1008, and with slight intermissions, has been falling steadily up to the present time. The infantile mortality did not fall under 100 per 1,000 births until 1912, but it was falling since 1908 until 1911, when it again rose to 140 per 1,000 births. 1911 was a very hot ... |

The death-rate of children between the ages of 1 and 5 years has shown a curve which is rather curious and not entirelyexplicable. In Acton there was a sharp rise in the toddlers mor tal... |

Apart fr... |

At the same time, it is admitted that more could be ... |
5204da8b-705d-42d5-bc20-d62beaf41fe7 | On the other hand, some mothers are unwilling to bring the toddlers on account of the overcrowding which occasionally occurs, and they feel that the clinic is primarily for the infants. This of course, is a mistaken notion. Another objection is our want of staff and accommodation. At the school clinic, infant clinics a... |
