91552161-fd24-4581-9680-a9df6003ca05 | With the assistance of the Surveyor and Accountant, an attempt has been made to estimate the population of each ward, and I believe the following table is fairly correct:— North-East Ward 13,000 North-West Ward 11,000 South-East Ward 11,000 South-West Ward 17,000 BIRTHS.

5bba7b3c-e398-4ffa-ade0-e6af1298d8e6 | It is unnecessary to produce statistics in order to ascertain the relative position of the wards socially.

1af20cbd-c453-4535-9876-164da795b27f | Thirty-five cases of Erysipelas were notified, and 1 death resulted from the disease. The retention of Erysipelas amongst the notifiable diseases is a demonstration of the necessity of fresh public health legislation. The views held as to its causation have undergone a vast change since the 16 Infectious Diseases Notif... |
4369759b-c230-46ce-8af5-99d43854c70b | Twenty-six deaths were caused by other tubercular diseases—Tubercular Meningitis 14, General Tuberculous 4, Tubercular-Peritonitis 3, Tubercular Enteritis 2, Tabes Mesenterica 2, and Tubular Kidney 1. Of the total deaths from Tubercular Diseases, 38 were of males and 36 of females. Forty-nine deaths were in persons ove... |
ebb53fb1-96eb-484b-978e-9dddeed083bc | The increase is due to Tuberculosis of the abdomen, caused possibly by the ingestion of infected milk. Thirty per cent. of all the cows giving milk in this country are tuberculous, but probably such milk is not dangerous until the udder is affected. About 2 per cent. of the cows have tuberculous udders. Our inquiries w... |

4b2887eb-1e67-4f9e-b6f0-dfa8d766283e | Early cases, where any traces of the Bacilli occur in the sputum, are dangerous, but the danger from them is trifling compared to that from the advanced and fatal cases. The last 4 or 5 weeks are the most deadly in the spread of the infection. It is a difficult matter in Phthisis to ascertain the source of infection al... |
28745d77-b5c8-44c1-a34b-8fbd38cf2151 | In the majority of cases, the sputum must be regarded as the main source of infection, and the germs must have reached the lungs by inhalation. It is difficult not to infect the rest of the family when a case occurs amongst the poor. The whole family have to live in two or three ill-ventilated rooms, and the patient is... |
f2c67687-aa13-4473-9267-29ef655007fc | Such events awaken in the minds of those who do not know the infectiousness of tuberculosis the opinion that it is hereditary, whereas its transmission in the cases in question was due solely to the simplest processes of infection, which do not strike people so much, because the consequences do not appear at once, but ... |
fc401252-7110-49ee-826f-7a06eb0f92dc | It is on this assumption that disinfection is carried out after the death of the patient, though in a large majority of the cases the damage has already been done. Disinfection was urged in all cases where death has occurred, but only in 17 instances was the offer accepted. It is pointed out on another page that the mo... |

Three were employed in laundries—two females and one male. Although laundresses do not appear to suffer excessively from Co... |
56132b2f-53b6-48c3-b475-7ab44259e29b | Although all sanitary efforts tend towards the first object, the special arrangements made by the Council have been directed for the most part with the object of limiting the spread of infection. To attain this end the first essential is accurate information as to the distribution of the disease, and to gain this infor... |
a14eea6a-3c99-43d8-b017-6b5acd1bb7e5 | 20 If the sputum is collected in a spittoon and burnt or otherwise destroyed it is probably dangerous to no one. Even if thrown into dry and well-lighted surroundings, exposed to the rays of the sun. it loses its dangerous properties. But if it remains in dark and damp surroundings it will maintain its activity for a l... |
ff0997fe-4b75-4bda-a46c-ef09fdcc154c | Only twelve persons applied for admission during 1906, and of these four were in too advanced a state to benefit from the treatment. Very rarely the three beds were occupied during the year, and from a return issued, it was shown that two beds would more than suffice for the applications received. Our first difficulty ... |

885e9984-6fd4-4afc-96ea-b2a27f11712d | To some of those who have applied, it has been pointed out what "cure" means in consumption, and in one instance the sufferer was able to obtain an outdoor employment after his discharge from the Sanatorium. Unfortunately, a large number of patients do not quite appreciate what a "cure" in consumption means. The diseas... |
a453306b-7ff9-4ab6-ae10-a2e62fb97900 | Consumption is similar to Scarlet Fever and Diphtheria in this respect, that they are infectious diseases and caused by microorganisms, but there is this broad distinction to be drawn between them —in one class, an attack renders the individual more liable to a relapse, or more correctly, to a recurrence, whilst in the... |

7c0e275d-9d7f-4f54-8400-59e157bd8714 | If the relative incidence of Measles on certain age-groups be considered, it will be found that the mortality from the disease falls heaviest on children under 5 years of age. Throughout the kingdom the birth-rate has been steadily and continuously diminishing during the last 20 years, and, consequently, the proportion... |
46eda988-d2f4-4055-8ea6-aee3a79ce848 | This accounts for the apparent constancy of the birth-rate, but if the rate be expressed as the ratio of births to the number of married women between the ages of 15 and 45 years, the same phenomenon would be observed here as in the rest of the kingdom. In view of the fact that the relative proportion of children under... |
e8e88b21-1a86-44ee-b2d8-7480d1253376 | It will be observed with what regularity Measles appears in an epidemic form. An epidemic made its appearance almost every second year, and the district was visited by a major epidemic at intervals of 4, 3, 4, and 6 years respectively. If these periods were analysed more minutely, the cyclical character of the epidemic... |
bb247b4f-889a-44ba-a521-d75d5caf6bd8 | This rise will be made more evident if we dissect the figures in the chart and take the mortality for certain definite periods. The following Table gives the annual number of deaths per 100,000 inhabitants in quinquennial periods for the 25 years, 1882-1906: 1882-86. 1887-91. 1892-96. 1897-1901. 1902-1906. 32.6 66.6 50... |
15990f49-a8eb-4221-8ee4-15236b76bd46 | In the quarter of a century Small-pox has caused 13 deaths, but in Measles we have a disease which claims as its tribute every year almost that number of lives. The victims of the latter form the silent, the innocent and the unprotected portion of the community. 24 Chart showing the number of deaths from measles per 10... |
4fcb565e-76a9-418c-9b04-78028232fabb | After a certain period, the older the child, the less susceptible he is to the disease, and even if they contract the disease, children over 5 years of age rarely succumb. The age at which relatively the greatest number of children die of Measles is the second year of life; while after the third year has passed there i... |
4da7e08d-f9b8-4a05-89a4-1f26011030e0 | While, therefore, more children die of Measles in the second year of life than at any other age, more children are attacked by this disease in each i f the three years following; so that children in the second year of life, although less susceptible to attack, are much more likely to die if attacked than any other chil... |

520416fd-a44e-4563-9ab7-67cf82e9a5d6 | The above figures, though, do bear out the assumption that the fatality from the disease is lower in children above the age of 2 years. This aspect of the question is worthy of consideration, as bearing upon the epidemicity of the disease. If the assumption be correct, and it probably is. the length of the inter-epidem... |
c0700611-df99-44c2-8a63-12dbb7385264 | 27 These, in the main would constitute our most important means towards attaining our first object, for the isolation of every case of Measles from the first onset to the end of the third week would undoubtedly enable an outbreak to be brought abruptly to a close, as no second crop of cases would occur. This ideal will... |
a7e28e74-94f9-478b-9d88-115b63d06826 | On account of this early infectiousness, the difficulty of preventing an epidemic will be appreciated.

4038659f-cf8b-48e0-a425-e4746c67b544 | This connection of school attendance and infection brings us to a consideration of the preventive measures against Measles.

As might... |

At present a very great difference of opinion exists. Dr. May,... |
