bcf3a1f6-93d2-494f-9bd1-9ce40f1a5615 | The larger the family the worse off are its members, because wages are not based upon the number of children to be fed.

5a59ec6f-0cdf-4e30-804a-0c9e2f6072e6 | At the end of the Report a Table is given showing the incidence of the compulsory notifiable infectious diseases, and the following received special attention during the year. DIPHTHERIA. 69 cases of Diphtheria were notified and there were 5 deaths compared with 15 notifications and 2 deaths in 1936. Since we started a... |
a1aaa220-67ea-4cd4-8b9b-e6e6f934b072 | At the second International Congress for Microbiology held in London in July, 1936, some remarkable figures were given by the readers of some of the papers. For instance, Hamilton, Ontario, a city with 150,000 inhabitants was the first city of that size in Canada to control diphtheria effectively. There have been no de... |
8edfcee0-5af6-4245-b75d-a10352eab734 | In the second half of 1936 only 2 cases of diphtheria occurred here; the parents become apathetic and neglect to have their children immunized, and 1936 was one of our poorest in the matter of immunization. It is impossible in the case of diphtheria to state what is cause and effect. The recorded morbidity rates of dip... |

c5af58e5-99ce-467b-9734-930a0a506f8d | In the case of young children it is a decided advantage if immunity can be established with two doses instead of three. As far as we are concerned it has been found that there is a decided advantage in two doses instead of rhree; a certain proportion of the children did not turn up for the third inoculation. As a test ... |
b6754125-1686-455c-aeff-96a24a75d274 | To young children a Schick Test is frequently a bigger ordeal than a single inoculation, and most parents prefer to have their children re-inoculated when they enter school, than to have them Schick tested, especially as a certain percentage may prove to be positive reactors, and require to be re-inoculated after the t... |

d9d3f87e-a672-418a-a469-7bce2cb6fda4 | Whooping cough does not cause as many deaths as Measles in Acton, but owing to the length of time in which a case is infectious, and also the lengthy periods of its maximum incidence in a district, it causes more interference than most other diseases in day nurseries and infant schools. Whooping cough is notoriously on... |
847e2b46-0ec2-4810-b46d-56f2dbcc2492 | It has been suggested that the name whooping cough should be abandoned, and it should be called pertussis to wean the obsession of the medical profession that a whoop is essential. In a recent school epidemic one-fifth of the cases did not whoop at all and did not even have the recognisable spasmodic coughs. The diffic... |

This is mentioned because during the early summer, through the kindness of Dr. Ian McLean working in the Inoculation Department of St. ... |

The cough had not improved when he left, and he developed the characteristic whoop after he left. Twelve children received the full dose of six injections given at intervals... |
dbfb4848-8ab9-4888-8bc6-5ea00b453827 | The figures are too small for any proof but in view of the extreme infectiousness of the disease, and the liability of most young children to contract it when exposed to the infection, we are of the opinion that its use was beneficial and that some were saved from an attack and that others had whooping cough in an atte... |
dde82210-aec0-40a1-bbcb-30390818db14 | The years 1934, 1935, and 1936 were particularly free of Influenza, but in December, 1936, there was a widespread increase in the incidence of Influenza throughout the kingdom, and, we, in common with all districts in and around London, suffered from the visitation. At one time, Influenza was so widespread and prevalen... |
65336d31-8e88-4b0a-be9d-21cad5a064c2 | Influenza is a disease with which we are all familiar, and a certain train of symptoms are usually associated with it, but it is admitted that our knowledge of the disease is lacking in exactness One reason is the fact that the term Influenza has been used to designate a variety of conditions in which the upper respira... |

0ad7907e-c5dc-4f6a-b9c3-9876f643163f | In the epidemic of last year, as in others, this was noticed by the doctors, and evidently repeated attacks do not confer any lasting immunity. The age-distribution of the deaths from Influenza also points to the same conclusion. Most of the deaths were in elderly people; last year only two deaths occurred in persons u... |
