ddc5ad0a-20fd-44ac-a774-88ff666d736a | The practice of spacing the family has become prevalent and there is not the slightest doubt that the use of contraceptive methods has spread throughout the population. Living conditions and economic conditions are important factors, but it is not argued that they are the only ones because until recently the fall in th... |
e409b026-1c6e-44b3-a507-9d0456c37e6b | The uncertain political and economic outlook, the rising standards of life affect all classes, but the difficulty of obtaining houses at a reasonable rent probably rests more heavily on the so-called working classes Rents have risen at a greater rate than wages, and the ordinary artisan and unskilled labourer find it v... |
731b3ff3-13da-40ca-aa3a-6edb58d39979 | This inevitably involves the further fact that a number of men, womer and children in this country are, to put it bluntly, half-starved. We have no records here which would enable us to estimate the number of families who are undernourished and who cannot afford the necessary food, but the School Feeding Centres and th... |
b920bbec-d5de-4052-9aa0-d09a7c4d4afb | So long as the grim struggle for life continues in the working classes, we shall find them physically weak and more and more unwilling to bring up families. Restriction of the number of children in a family is by no means most marked among the poor. Middle class families are noted for their preference for Baby Austins ... |
d6d4580d-31d6-4cf6-986a-4365cda40f93 | Women have widened their outlook and have many and diverse interests outside their own households. The promised Government Committee may devise means to increase the birth-rate, but so long as bombing aircraft and poison gas pervade the minds, so long as there is exposure to the risks of unemployment, poverty and bad h... |
e9618556-5fe8-4ab8-ac8e-c355880e55e1 | Usually the important items in the different returns correspond, such as the total number of deaths, infantile deaths, the deaths from definite diseases, &c., but this year a discrepancy occurs. According to the Registrar General the deaths belonging to the district were 801. In the weekly returns of the local registra... |
0f08f143-74d2-4047-a0ab-4668cb424c23 | 431 deaths were registered in the district; of these 42 did not belong to Acton and were transferred to other districts. 405 deaths of Acton residents occurred outside the area and have been included in our returns. The total number of deaths belonging to the district is therefore 794, which corresponds to a death-rate... |

89946e2a-1b3e-47a1-a43c-50b3513863d2 | Ever since the war, there has been a progressive improvement in the mortality from Tubercular diseases, and though we have to record a set-back last year, it is probable that this is only a temporary and transient phenomenon. 65 There is a slight increase in the number of deaths in the ageperiod 1-2 years, but this is ... |

Of the total deaths 385 were males and 409 females. The average age of the males was 52.2 and of the females 60.9. The ... |
cbc56fb7-08ee-4b1b-9b77-29ee64125b76 | There is an increasing tendency among doctors to give old age as a cause of death, but most of them still name a definite disease as the existing cause, and the most popular one in recent years has been Myocarditis or Myocardial degeneration. These are placed under heart disease together with Myocarditis and Valvular D... |
ce9b3f4b-d0bb-405c-8511-02dca5ebf30d | For this reason it is important that measures should be taken to prevent permanent damage to the heart from Rheumatism in childhood, and in the report on the School Medical Sendees, an account is given of the measures which are being taken. Although heart disease now looms larger in our returns than any other cause it ... |
43a00f38-e32b-48a3-80a9-9a70821d0389 | I have on several occasions pointed out the changed and changing attitude of the public towards the treatment of disease in public institutions. Last years 418 deaths occurred in public institutions in addition to those which occurred in nursing homes. The institutional deaths were as follows:— County Hospitals 275 Cou... |

Three other cases were admitted to hospital for observation, but were found not to be suffering from the disease and were discharged in a few days. There were therefore 12 cases of Diphtheria with 2 deaths. Eleven of the twelve cases were in children who had... |
b9ced6e6-fd96-4712-b013-6747c5e2e997 | The parents become apathetic and neglect to have their children immunised. The district is practically free of diphtheria so why worry ! But this freedom from the disease is a Source of potential danger. When the incidence of the disease is fairly high, a percentage of the children are renered immune, or ar any rate, p... |
e59719ae-224c-4872-84b5-4f012a4e57fd | There are other factors which decide the severity or otherwise of the attack, such as the kind of bacteria, &c., but the lessened immunity of the child in a district free of diphtheria is of wider significance. SCARLET FEVER. . 177 cases of Scarlet Fever were notified, but there was no death from the disease Over 70 pe... |
6c8933a2-8046-4ebd-8fed-46db33cbab86 | It can therefore be appreciated that during the prevalence of Scarlet Fever in a neighbourhood there may be a certain number of cases which will escape notification.

9bdb91d2-2a71-4266-a68c-268896e723ae | Measles is a disease which fulfils with remarkable accuracy the conditions of an epidemic cycle ; its waves of prevalence, with their respective rises and falls, are interspersed with periods of complete absence. We say that it occurs with explosive violence, and then completely disappears from the district. 1932 was a... |
f409bb89-a6ee-4e0a-bf50-844d2f829b83 | If the table had been drawn up for separate years, and ending, say, on July 1st each year, the regular periodicity of the disease would be still more marked, because the outbreak usually occurs in the winter months; sometimes the epidemic started in the last quarter of the year, at other times it originated in the firs... |
db1f2d47-6515-4771-b088-a042a50ad5eb | Besides, in recent epidemics, our Measles outbreaks have followed the rise of deaths in London ; we usually have felt the full force of it a month or so after the epidemic has reached its peak in London. Last year's epidemic behaved in a slightly different manner. The height of the epidemic was not reached until the ea... |
d1f448f7-6834-4689-a3a9-32445eecbc97 | An intensive study has for years been made into the bacteriology and the epidemiology of measles ; probably no disease has recently been more intensively studied, and we have learnt a good deal at any rate of the behaviour of an epidemic of Measles. Although the germ or virus which is the probable cause of the illness ... |
e216ffc1-862e-4dc6-af81-6979c3d8156c | But it is now held 70 that in addition to this permanent immunity which an attack of Measles confers a certain amount of temporary latent immunity also occurs during the epidemic. This temporary latent immunity may be brought about in many ways. A breast-fed infant seldom contracts Measles. He is born with a certain am... |
c7182ad7-976b-44d9-88a2-a79fc3cece0d | This does not mean that individual children cannot be protected from Measles during an epidemic but that efforts to prevent the spread of an epidemic of Measles in a community are usually a failure. These considerations have effected a changed outlook in the measures which are adopted during an epidemic. At the present... |
4b5de1d0-67a2-48bc-a2db-d1636a45d6cb | It would be almost impossible to remove every case of uncomplicated Measles during an epidemic.

This check has taken place as a result of factors other than failure to utilise the special arrangements for the treatment of the disease. The decli... |
