The ?0arliest symptortT"jf "evidence of the disease is a sore throat. This usually conies on 3 to 5 days after exposure to the infection.- Other early sighs are vomiting and fever The rash usually appears within 24 hours of the beginning. Scarlet fevei varies -so much in severity that the rash may be "so; faint and last such a short time in sonie cases that it. will not be noticed unless the parent. is quit^6bs"eryant/ “Scarlatina” me^ns ’ mild Scarlet Fever, Contacts and patients with this mild form are treated just the same as the- contacts and patients bf Scarlet FCVer.

During an epidemic of 'Scarlet Fever there are always some children who have .sore throats and no rash, and these are spreading the infection. During an epidemic of Scarlet Fever all child ren and adults with a sore ’ throat should stay at home and riot mingle with thb public. * The Control of, Scarlet Fever re quires the prompt isolation of the of which is the determination of Whether or not the; contact is suscep tible to the desease. Disinfection . is best carried out by having all, arti cles used by the patient carefully boiled or otherwise disinfected. Dis infecting a room is best done - by washing floors,' woodwork etc. with hot water arid soap. Fumigation with, forrnaldehyde fumes is of -no value. Children may be made immune to Scarlet Fever by inoculation.0 There are, two methods of doing this, each of Which has -advantages and dis advantages. The Department df« Health at- Toronto at present does not advise^ the giving of' this in wholesale.-fashion at schools etc. They believe that the parents should be fully informed of the mature of the inoculations by the local doctors before their children receive the in oculations. il, 1 . We wish to point out that only by the maximum co-operation, between parents,, teachers, and health * auth orities can this or any other type of communicable disease be ade-f quately controlled. Particularly at this time may we ask parents to keep at home all children with sore throats, however mild, and with . no rash’ present. These, may be just as dangerous to their neighbors as the typical ‘ Scarlet. Fever patient. W. V. JOHNSTON, M. O.
