4df66e40-0a14-4eba-b0ba-eafb9bd8d502 | Under the Aberdeen Local Act of 1881, notification by the medical attendant only was required. After the passing of the Infectious Disease Notification Act. 1889. the Town Council adopted it in 1891, in order to obtain the advantage of dual notification, that is, by the medical attendant and by the householder. 32 Afte... |

f954ffcc-597b-4ad1-af28-a8d66eee4745 | A medical attendant is not always called in when Measles makes its appearance in a family; while the householder rarely reports the presence of Measles in his dwelling, whether a doctor has been called in to see the case or not. To this extent, therefore, compulsory notification commonly fails to afford to Sanitary Aut... |
5914ee40-62dd-4bdc-bada-6e7faad3b44e | Under the conditions which prevail, we have no choice in the matter, but in the present state of our knowledge of the disease, it is doubtful if disinfection would be of much value. In the case of Diphtheria, Typhoid, and Consumption, we know that the germs which cause these diseases can survive for long periods on art... |
a4f2f1ee-b1c4-4b77-8280-559fba117dce | Six hundred and twenty-five houses had been invaded by Measles; in 534 of these houses the occupants were the same as on the first visit, and no further children had been attacked by Measles. The immunity of the 169 children in these houses, who had not previously acquired Measles, had continued. Of the remaining house... |
1d8a297f-77f7-4a14-b8fa-cc5d837764d0 | But in view of the fact that the entire experience points in one direction, it is justifiable to infer provisionally that the infection of Measles is shortlived and that domestic cleansing suffices for disinfection. This conclusion is obviously subject to revision if a series of unfallacious positive facts are forthcom... |
da349958-a4e9-4388-854f-e0c690b7ad5e | In some instances the instructions were not regarded owing to inadequate accommodation in invaded houses. In some districts the difficulty has been met by the 35 removal of Measles to hospital. In Brighton, the Medical Officer of Health recommended that he be authorised, so far as their accommodation would permit, to a... |
457e5f62-1e07-4b04-88e5-a089aff6c3dc | There is a difference of opinion as to the order of sequence in which the two diseases occur in respect to each other. The disease was most prevalent in the South-West Ward. INFANTILE MORTALITY. It has been explained in previous reports that the infantile mortality is usually expressed as the ratio of deaths in childre... |

One hundred and ninety-three deaths under one year of age were registered in the district, and 8 infants under one year of age died in public institutions beyond the district, making a total of 201. This latter figure corresponds to an infa... |

ff08d1e6-d15a-436c-b050-437347ad2000 | Moreover, this year the births for the Wards have been separately arranged, so that the infantile mortality of each Ward can bp expressed as a ratio of deaths under one year to every 1.000 births. In 1905, there were in the North Ward 27 deaths under 12 months old, in the East Ward 60 and in the West Ward 75. The infan... |

Overcrowding may embrace such a variety of circumstances that its use is open to misconstruction. The term is here used not in its... |
9ef73595-6bb0-41e8-b4a7-1a2d1e7952e7 | The estimated population is 11,000 and 17,000 respectively. The South-East Ward contained 55 persons to the acre, and the SouthWest Ward 74. This difference in the density of the population to the acre is not sufficient to account for an infantile mortality of no per 1.000 in the one, and of 147 per 1,000 in the other.... |
709c7654-0073-4fe5-9492-6cd0d5a86130 | This overcrowding of rooms, 38 with its accompanying vitiation of the atmosphere bears a close relation to a high infantile mortality, but it is a common experience to find the overcrowding more marked in three-roomed tenements than in those of one and two rooms. At the Census, only a small percentage of the latter wer... |
9b295747-cec7-4b16-9474-5b876d45d9d4 | Fifty-eight infant deaths were not specially inquired into, and of these the majority occurred in families occupying more than 5 rooms. For our present purpose, it is taken for granted that in all cases not inquired into, the family occupied more than five rooms. With this correction, the percentages work out as follow... |

96cb8151-7ed4-427c-b35e-d225adb3c35d | These questions will not be entered into, except as far as the figures at our disposal may serve to illustrate their effect upon the infantile mortality. In a district, such as ours, instruction in domestic subjects is especially necessary. Young women enter upon the responsibilities of motherhood in utter ignorance of... |
e87971bb-9665-4170-8588-db97290816d7 | A mother has not an instinctive knowledge of what is necessary for a child's welfare, no more than the child has an instinctive knowledge of its own requirements. The mortality of first-born children should indicate that a modern woman carries no instinctive system of baby management with her 40 in her brain. Out of 13... |
63136623-e1db-4177-9366-05a39dcdc2c2 | In spite of the fact that the mortality amongst illegitimate children was more than four times as high as that of children born in wedlock, there was no evidence of any wilful neglect. The standard of living, though, in all instances was low, and there was a lack of personal and domestic cleanliness. All were artificia... |
7831b6b4-4f73-487e-b583-0b8ff3e10195 | To render the work of the latter really efficient, it should be supplemental to the work of educational authorities. Direct teaching upon the rearing of infants may be out of place in elementary schools, or even in secondary schools, but the value of a Health Visitor would be greatly augmented if the elementary laws of... |
06e334e7-baff-49d0-9223-93441fa48114 | Section 73 of the Huddersfield Corporation Act, 1906, provides "that it will be the duty on and after November 1st, 1906, of the father of every child born within the borough, if he is actually residing in the house where the birth takes place at the time of its occurrence, or in his absence of any person in attendance... |
ba84c9ec-c951-4aed-a695-56cd346e5b2a | Seventy-one deaths occurred before the children reached the age of two months. In other words, the circumstances connected with 71 of the infantile deaths were for all practical purposes beyond the control of sanitary) authorities. But this does not exhaust the inadequacy of the present registration machinery. It has b... |
0a6253ea-0a6d-4cc5-9b53-6f764a0dde2e | But to obtain the best results in the prevention of infantile mortality, the work of preventive medicine should commence before even the birth of the child. Last year, there were 25 deaths from Prematurity, 5 from Congenital Defects, 4 from Injury at Birth, 16 42 from Congenital Debility. Besides these. 40 still-births... |
8766a3c2-e4ba-4b8d-9a5f-760a6570feda | Further, there was also found to be a progressive death-rate in the alcoholic family; the number of dead births a iin deaths under two years increased as time went on, these fatalities being more numerous among the later born than the first-born children of these inebriates. But alcoholism is not the only factor, and t... |
b332d26d-fb41-4f7c-835a-d338f4ca6389 | The mothers go out to work, not from choice, but from necessity. It is doubtful if work is injurious to the expectant mother, provided it be not heavy or prolonged. The improved food and greater comfort which mis work means, more than counteracts its disadvantages. In view of the tendency to impose further legal restri... |
6ec527f6-cf67-453c-a658-10b9777cc409 | Miss Anderson, in her evidence before the Committee on Physical Deterioration, cited Acton as a district where inquiry might be profitably made as to the extent and effects of employment of mothers in laundries. Pressure of other work has prevented us from making inquiries as to the extent, but some of the effects were... |
25a7bd62-99a0-467d-a3b5-349c788f9633 | Of the total deaths among infants 111 this area, prematurity was certified as the cause of death in 11per cent., Congenital Debility 3.7 per cent., and Convulsions in 1.5 per cent. In the rest of the district the figures were—Prematurity 15 per cent., Congenital Debility 16 per cent., and Convulsions 3 per cent. Possib... |
89c17d2c-ccd5-4854-b5dd-c677047e863d | It is admited, of course, that the number is too small to draw any definite conclusion, but they may be useful in any future investigation upon the infantile mortality. To supplement the above, inquiries were also made as to the occupation of the mother where a child had died from these causes. Thirty deaths were inqui... |
64024d9f-3f3d-452b-be44-df7c9e5c801b | These figures cannot be regarded as conclusive evidence of the effect upon the infantile mortality, of employment in a particular industry during pregnancy, as sufficient data are not to hand. Not only the extent of such labour should be ascertained, but the conditions which obtain in the different industries. It would... |
026116ba-7d6e-4d98-8c8a-2c673e722633 | Since 1900, when the Royal College of Physicians recommended the adoption of the term "Epidemis Enteritis" as a synonym for Epidemic Diarrhoea, and the disuse in medical certificates of death of such terms as Gastro-enteritis, Muco-enteritis, and Gastric Catarrh, the number registered as due to Diarrhœa has increased, ... |
90e65f75-c35f-4691-a9d3-ddaa40f815c0 | The vital manifestations of the organism are 45 in some way closely associated with season. Over 90 per cent, of the deaths occur during the months of July-October. There is a large increase in the number of deaths compared with 1905, and whatever views may be held as to the causation of Diarrhœal diseases, there can b... |
651bbef9-7280-4bf8-a2b8-5601f4126615 | The factor may be beyond the control of a sanitary authority, and probably few would be daring enough to wish for a wet holiday season, but the manner in which it operates should teach us something in the prevention of Diarrhœa. The diminished prevalence is probably not due to the purifying action of rain on the atmosp... |
2f037bdf-a495-4078-bbeb-2cbfcbc8f373 | Though the theory that the maximum mortality from Diarrhoea coincides with the temperature of the earth at different depths is now doubted, very few doubt the intimate association of the disease and conditions of the soil. If we consider the state of the streets and backyards, the influence of rainy weather is explaine... |
b6bc6db9-b8ac-4b58-ab98-608d3f3543b1 | A more potent factor, probably, is the state of the yards at the rear of the dwellings. Though there is no excuse for the accumulation of refuse around houses, it is surprising how often this nuisance occurs. The air space around the smaller houses is sufficiently limited, but the Inspectors constantly have to draw att... |
6cb8be70-2e3d-4eb3-b291-aec037306a75 | High earth temperature means a previous high air temperature, and high air temperature means an enhanced rate of multiplication of the microbes present in milk, together with the formation of dust, which may play a considerable part in the contamination and infection of the food.

26acd459-6d92-437b-873d-53b0277f7c77 | The heat of the refuse and the brickmaking had afforded a breeding ground for millions of flies, that had been passing backwards and forwards from the refuse to the houses, and he attributed the epidemic in a certain district of Portsmouth entirely to the infection of the food in the houses by these insects. This parti... |
f5d7d185-0110-46ea-a764-02e250c8e55e | The figures are admittedly limited, but it does seem curious that so few deaths occurred from Diarrhœal diseases to the north of the Great Western Railway, as undoubtedly this constitutes the fly-infected area of the district. It was stated that the article of food most frequently contaminated is milk. That this is so ... |
035ebce7-c291-493e-89f4-c3fb09b662e3 | 11 1 1 48 The comparative immunity of children under 1 month is explained by the fact that in this district the mothers usually suckle the children for about 4 or 6 weeks, and an overwhelming majority of the cases of infantile diarrhoea occur in artificially fed children. All authorities are agreed as to the enormous a... |
e98d9b61-fe1f-4add-b4ff-6398d99fbfee | Breast milk is comparatively sterile, and it passes direct from the mother to the child, without any intermediate state of transit during which infection may take place. But with artificial feeding infection may lurk in the milk, in the vessels in which it is carried, and in the bottle. Of 75 deaths from Diarrhœal dise... |
e3ed464c-b80c-4ea5-b77f-a8614a00b446 | In this district where a large number of married women are employed in the laundry industry the percentage of breast fed children is small. 49 Of the 72 deaths amongst hand-fed children, 29 of the mothers were employed in some industry which entailed leaving the house and placing the infant under the care of some other... |
d18623bd-3272-45e8-8fc8-1c896e9c2fa9 | Do not wean the child because there is not enough milk, but give cow's milk and barley water as well. Feed at regular intervals; never between times. The child may be thirsty, especially in the summer, and water may stop its crying. Wean gradually; after weaning it may have bread and milk and once a day broth or beef t... |

8c7eec4a-710e-4431-a609-e8f4f29760b7 | As stated in a preceding paragraph, the necessity to emphasize the importance of suckling the child is shown by the fact that only one wholly breast-fed infant died. In 44 instances the mother was not employed in any occupation but housework, and it may be taken for granted that only a small number was compelled to wea... |
753460ce-dadd-4104-8bf4-215d3b28deb6 | The bottle with the rubber tubing is steadily going out of fashion. Thirty-four boat-shaped bottles were in use and 16 bottles with rubber tubing. Nothing can be more objectionable than the latter. It is impossible to keep it clean. The milk and the warm water decompose the rubber, and the exposed rubber becomes a plac... |
