ad3288ee-4cc1-43a2-b7dc-2d204ebc6949 | acton: Public Health Department, Gothic Villa, Mill Hill Grove. 1902. The Urban District Council of Action ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MEDICAL OFFICER for the year ending 31st december, 1901 To the Chairman and Members of the Acton District Council. |
25917dca-11d4-44dd-bace-94d7c4fbf05f | Gentlemen, I BEG to submit to you my Annual Report on the Health and Sanitary Condition of Acton during 1901. The general Death Rate is again satisfactory. |
47f415c1-06f5-40da-8237-ef68b9db72d6 | We enjoyed a remarkable immunity, compared with other districts, from the more important Infectious Diseases, and with the exception of the Infant Mortality, which I regret to say is again high, the health of the district was above the average. |
e6a3d5e3-9d43-4330-938e-fb839a6fb691 | I have again, as in previous years, made suggestions for diminishing the number of deaths of children under one year of age, but we have a very difficult task, owing to the mothers leaving their offspring to the care of others during their absence at the Laundries. I beg to draw your attention to my remarks on Consumption, and trust you will see your way clear to follow the course I have suggested. |
4a41e8ce-053f-4a2b-b8ff-6e0ee91ced85 | The purchase of the Friars Estate for an Isolation Hospital is a matter for sincere congratulation, and in my opinion the site is a good one. I have repeatedly pointed out for some years the great need for such an Institution, and how much suffering, anxiety, and danger is caused by having no means of Isolating cases of Infectious Disease. |
b8c5ef70-7402-46fc-9f11-04fea8095420 | 4 In my tables dealing with Vital Statistics you will notice how rapidly the district is opening out, and, with the improved methods of locomotion, is likely to still further develop in the near future. The works in connection with the Bacterial treatment of our Sewage are near completion, and this instalation will be a great saving to the ratepayers. |
bede9b18-b13e-4b75-be40-52032176489f | I beg to draw your attention once again to the need of a Destructor Furnace for dealing with the dust-bin and other refuse of the district. Another matter of great importance, and which I trust will immediately engage your attention, is the great need of sanitary conveniences in the centre of the town. The Sanitary Department is now on a sure footing. |
a44abccf-5ff6-41a9-9855-17b58db6e8e9 | We have an excellent office and meet every morning at 9-30 to go through the work of the day, and although urgent matters are attended to at any time, Sundays included, yet we prefer all complaints to be brought to our department, in Mill Hill Grove, at the above specified time. I have received valuable help from Messrs. |
03153aa4-e7c5-4a8f-a3b0-7e246a967f9a | Kinch and Fraser, Sanitary Inspectors, Nurse Dawkins, and all others connected with my department. I take this opportunity of thanking the Chairman and Members of the District Council for their kind co-operation. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, G. A. GARRY SIMPSON, Medical Officer of Health. 5 WARD BOUNDARIES. |
1cba5eb3-db4d-474f-aa00-b1b929b62dd1 | The district is conveniently divided into three Wards, and as the boundaries have not been previously described in these reports, I find it convenient to do do so on this occasion:— North Ward.—All north of centre of High Street. |

2854a6fe-f211-4246-992d-56e6e012344a | If we deduct the deaths of children under one year of age, our death-rate for 1901 works out at only 8.3 per 1,006 of the population. (; The main causes of our infant mortality are:— 1. Epidemic Diarrhoea. 2. Premature Birth. 3. Overlying. 4. |
0a59407b-db40-45e8-86dc-4ef3b25ce2f8 | Improper Feeding. 11 (i) Epidemic Diarrhoea was most prevalent during the months of July, August, and September. It was highly infectious, as one found it attacking one member of a family after another. |
deca7995-85ab-4280-9c6c-e9c924dddd98 | It is also a fact that this summer diarrhcea appears regularly, year after year, in an epidemic form, and that it presents the same symptoms in each individual, and there must be a common cause for it. More than 140 years ago Dr. |
ed8ac138-5504-470f-a9cb-73af1cac1d7e | Cullen wrote concerning the disease, "that it arises in summer and autumn after great heat has prevailed, and especially after very dry states of the weather," and he further says "that the effluvia from putrid animal substances readily affect the alimentary canal, and occasion upon some persons a diarrhcea." |
e5cbff83-8772-4711-9268-66ce269d9462 | I think there are four main channels in which these putrid emanations can reach us by—Milk, Water, Air, Insects. Milk if used unboiled may undergo decomposition, and will cause diarrhcea, especially in the young. |
5efcc745-06b3-4ea5-bce6-9c362cc7aa27 | We know that milk drawn from a cow in the morning will often during the hot summer months be quite "turned" by the afternoon, and milk in such a state will set up diarrhcea in some people whether young or old. If the milk is boiled, it will keep much longer, but unless precautions are used in the storing of it, the danger will not be very much lessened. |
310e2382-cbe8-44b1-96d1-74b30e612cf5 | After being boiled, the milk should be kept in a closed vessel and in a cool place, for if it is kept uncovered the dust, which is loaded with putrefactive germs, will fall into it. Dirty feeding-bottles and teats are also undoubtedly often a cause of diarrhcea in infants that are bottle-fed. |
c0cbd5df-7819-46ad-89e5-2e29f67203d6 | Water.—Drinking water may be a cause of summer diarrhcea. During the hot summer months putrefactive changes are taking place all along our water courses ; the banks of the reservoirs and streams are lined with vegetation, much of which is often in a state of active putrescence. |
11b3c08b-af4f-4348-afa6-138bc9405ad0 | The putrefactive gases are held in solution by the water, and are not removed by filtration, and if oxidation is not complete, the drinking of such water may cause diarrhcea. 12 Air.—During the hot summer months organic matter rapidly undergoes decomposition. The streets are also more or less covered with a layer of dust. |
805cf7bf-324d-4bc1-9d89-8b5d7e1a2c3c | This dust is composed of all manner of refuse in a state of active putrescence, one of the chief constituents being the pulverized droppings of horses and cattle. This dust is taken into the lungs of old and young, and settles on all exposed food. |
c829a3b7-2bce-43dc-8bc9-3770dd8e8fe0 | Insects.—During the summer months our living rooms are close and warm, and the open windows admit large numbers of insects which have often come direct from feeding on the filthiest of decayed and decaying matter. The legs and bodies of the insects are covered with small particles of the filthy stuff, which they convey to our food. |
460d9bf4-e0f4-4b5b-938f-6b6f66732ca2 | (2) Premature Birth.—Our chief industry is to a great extent responsible for the large number of premature births; the long hours of standing at the wash tub has a tendency to induce premature confinement. (3) Overlying.—Is gross carelessness. In Germany and other Countries it is made a penal offence to have a young infant in bed with its parents. |
8510faed-5944-473d-8fec-165b3bee34c3 | A suitable cot can be made for a few pence out of an orange box, or similar receptacle. It is a significant fact that nearly all the deaths from overlying take place between Saturday and Sunday. This is accounted for by the fact that the wife has to do her weekly shopping on Saturday night, and goes to bed late and tired out with her week's work. |
6762619f-ce52-4004-95af-c33666ab0c3e | (4) Improper Feeding.—Every parent on registering a birth is given full instructions as to the quantity and suitable food to give a child brought up by hand. In this district the mothers are at work the greater part of the day at the laundries, and the infants are left to the care of young girls or ignorant persons with the most rudimentary knowledge of infant feeding. |
9797cc6a-e0fb-4df2-b781-582913e2b69f | 13 The remedy, which I have before suggested, is to establish a Creche, where for a small fee the infants could be looked after and properly fed. A leaflet giving instructions as to the importance of boiling the milk, and the storage of food, is widely circulated during the summer months. |
5fcc01cb-c6f4-464e-a38d-79155964ca4c | In the houses of the poorer class the household food is put in a cupboard, or simply exposed in the dwelling, or it may be a sleeping room ; in such cases as these contamination of the food is almost certain to take place. PHTHISIS OR CONSUMPTION. Thirty-five deaths were caused by Phthisis, and nine by other Tubecular Diseases. |
