b5771e4b-5b51-48a3-be6b-d3f661c10273 | The so-called Zymotic death rate includes deaths from seven Zymotic Diseases namely, Small Pox, Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Diphtheria, Fever and Diarrhoea. In some quarters it still retains its popularity as an index of the seven diseases. An epidemic of Measles or Whooping Cough may affect the magnitude o... |
b9313abb-d03d-48c9-b042-4df13e32de60 | On one occasion 5 children were found attending school in the peeling stage of the disease. In other instances, when the history of a case was being investigated, other children were found in the same house who had suffered from the disease, but in so mild a form that no doctor was called in attendance. DIPHTHERIA AND ... |
f8aa8358-4cb5-425c-92a0-cab60d1e571f | The same course of events was observed during the earlier part of 1905. Up to the end of July, 20 cases were notified, and of these 10 were from the West Ward and 8 from the East Ward. Between August 1st and December 31st, 29 cases were reported, and 26 of these were from the North Wardβ-19 living in the Willesden Junc... |
08469bae-c15e-4c03-ba38-bcbb9c004ad4 | Between the ages of 1 and 5 years, the case fatality was 17 per cent., whilst between the ages of 5 and 15 years it only reached 4 per cent. The figures are too small upon which to base any general conclusions, except in so far as they coincide with those gleaned in other districts, and, to this extent, they serve to i... |
dc89bc3e-b1ef-48f4-906f-0026c7919949 | If there be anything in the theory that school attendance is one of the most potent factors in the spread of Diphtheria, this phenomenon forms a strong argument against the encouragement of attendance at school of children between the ages of 3 and 5 years. Hospital Isolationβ Thirty-nine cases were removed to the Isol... |
99d845b0-f2ad-4e6e-957d-13ad4e18e504 | Two cases were notified in August, but neither was a pupil in the Willesden School. Between September 8th and September 20th, ten cases were notified from Railway Cottages, eight of whom attended the Willesden School. On September 11th the School was closed for 3 weeks No fresh cases occurred between September 20th & O... |
c42b83a8-ce47-4f20-9bda-82433e9140c5 | The cases occurred in 20 houses, three in one family, two each in two houses, and a single case in 17 houses. Eighteen cases were notified from Railway Cottages, four from Inverness Terrace, one from Victoria Road, and one from the Huts. 15 Five of the children were between the ages of 3 and 4 years, six between 4 and ... |
34f59243-63e7-49a7-8a60-8e2a49a1bb3a | Sewer gas, for instance, may cause an ulceration of the throat and thus make the individual more susceptible to contract Diphtheria; but the exciting cause must always be contact, either direct or indirect with somebody who is harbouring the germs. A person may be a carrier of the germs in his throat or or nose without... |
f2a8d9be-fad7-4b85-9486-6e24a70554a0 | In the circumstances, it was deemed wise as an additional precaution to close the school for 3 weeks. Similarly, when a notification was received in October, a child, in whose throat the Diphtheria baccili were found, was attending school. As previously stated, following this last case, freedom from the disease was exp... |
2fcc5cae-9fee-489f-b1b8-003c43e073f6 | It is more than probable that the act of coughing or sneezing or even talking, is sufficient to distribute into the atmosphere in the immediate vicinity any germs lurking in the throat or nose. To the sucking of pencils and other pastimes in which children occasionally indulge infection has been traced. Any of these co... |
68a30e39-bcf9-402f-a5dd-c0c5cd88dc43 | No instance of infection due to this cause was discovered in the Willesden district, but the following case illustrates the possibility of such a source. On February 25th, a child was removed from a house in Westminster to one of the Metropolitan Fever Hospitals, suffering from Scarlet Fever. She was transferred to a C... |
63fd4d6d-2142-40e7-9907-62d7aad2db17 | These instances are given to show the various paths along which the infection may be carried, and the fact that the outbreak was kept so well under control is due in a great measure to the cordial co-operation of the officials of the Education Committee. Special praise is due to Mr. Syers, the Head Master, and the othe... |
1b56d15a-d1ce-4382-b099-ca84601482d4 | WHOOPING COUGH. Ten children succumbed to this disease. Most of the deaths occurred during the first quarter of the year. One hundred and twenty-six cases were reported to the Sanitary Authorityβ11 from the North Ward, 72 from the East Ward, and 43 from the West Ward. 18 The notifications do not give a correct index of... |
b8951111-c0f3-4e63-8be5-b596c5a689c2 | The average number of deaths from Diarrhcea alone, for the ten years 1895-1904, was over 51. This figure alone emphasises the drain of the diseases upon our resources, but it probably does not show to the full extent the amount of mischief wrought. In spite of the power of rapid recuperation which children possess, a l... |
1b33bcc5-5341-442c-87b5-5e86c95548f0 | It is rarely seen out of large towns, and most observers regard it as a contagious Zymotic disease, though the specific germ has not with certainty been discovered. As far back as 1887, Dr. Ballard included it among the principal Zymotic diseases, and, recently, some observers have claimed the Bacillus of Shiga as the ... |
2261f37c-66ce-435e-9e79-24a655c88f29 | Dust and various other things laden with germs are liable to be deposited in the milk. Although it may seem unnatural to rejoice in a moist summer, there can be no doubt as to the beneficial influence of an excessive rainfall. The total amount of yearly rainfall bears no direct relation to the mortality ; the prevalenc... |
36432dd3-cf28-4935-a07e-a75866a73a10 | The result has been unsatisfactory, and five notifications only were received during the year. Even partial information is of some value, and it is hoped that in time the public will appreciate the fact that it is a preventable disease, and that the medical practitioner will not be subjected to odium when he notifies. ... |
4db2956d-5bba-4101-902c-9931a2b053ed | The method usually adopted, and followed here, is to calculate out the ratio of deaths of infants under one year to the actual number of births during the year under consideration. Under certain conditions, a more accurate plan would be to calculate the ratio of deaths in the current year to the number of births in the... |
d77fe6b4-12a5-4bde-ad78-c7782e8ccb57 | In 1905, the infantile mortality in England and Wales was 128 per 1,000; in the 76 large towns it was 140 per 1,000, and in the 141 smaller towns it was 132 per 1,000. With the exception of 1903, the infantile mortality of 1905 is the lowest recorded in the district, and it is 30 per cent. below the average rate for th... |
792ca07c-22de-4fdb-ab71-9c4773bcbff1 | There is no intention to minimise the important part which ignorance and carelessness in the feeding of infants play in producing a high death rate ; and it is a significant fact, that of the 30 deaths from DiarrhΕal diseases which were inquired into, not one of the children was entirely breast fed; but it is getting m... |
120b09c4-b518-4f04-98ec-48ae5e23d407 | Thirty-three deaths were due to congenital causes; and until some means be devised whereby attention can be directed to the Hygiene of Pregnancy, this sacrifice of life will continue. Possibly, Acton is peculiarly situated in this respect. A large number of married females are employed in the local industries, and it i... |
