MEASLES STLLL UNCHEC1ED.1
Nearly Fourteen Hundred Cases
and Eighteen Deaths in May.
A despatch from Toronto says -
The epidemic of measles -that has
been ravaging the, province for thel
past few months shows no sign of
abating. During May, aceordin* g
to the returns of the Provincial
Dozed of Health, there were 1,398,
cases, of ;which 18 resulted in death.#
Last, year's May figures showed
only 588 eases and 15 deaths. Whittle'
there is twice as much masteries int
Ontario as a, year ago, the figures
do not give an entirely accurate
comparison, owing to the fact that
up te last ran quarantine was not
required for oases of this disease,
and returns were anything bii.1
• complete. The great difficulty the
health department has experienced
in fighting measles is that the aver-
age person doe e not consider the
disease a serious one, and neces-
sary precautions are neglected. I
is a fact, little rea,lized, that reeasa
les, whooping tough, etc., regula,r1
claim more victims than smallpox
and typhoid. The' May returns,
apart from measles, show an im-
proved state of health generally,
the inere.a,se in tuberculosis case
being 011ie to more complete re-
turns.
