XPERIENCE in the control of infectious diseases brings very forcibly to ones mind that tae present methods of preventing the spread of these diseases are of doubtful value. What is the ordinary pro- cedure say in a town of 2,000 or 5,000 population? Scarlet fever for example is discovered, the physician in attendance notifies the health officer, and a placard is placed on the house for six weeks, notifying the public that none are allowed to enter the home but members of the family during that time. These directions, if followed, limit this focus of in- fection. Down the street a few doors Mrs. Brown's little girl, eight years old, is a little under th.e weather, vomits once or twice and has a slight scarlet rash on her body with, a little fever, but is not very sick. It may be that the young doctor, who is called in, regards the case as one of indigestion,. prescribes a laxative and sees the case no more; or Perhaps suspecting scarlet fever, he covertly or at the instanee of the child's mother, who doesn't want her house placarded, fails to notify the case to the Medical Officer of Health. Consequently after a few days Mary goes back to sebool an,d no more is thought of it. Mary, however, fails to pick up as she should. She is pale, flabby looking, and complains of headache. Her mother finds she does not eat her meals, and on Saturday nig at while superintending her bath she notices that Mary's feet are a little swollen and her eyes look puffy. The mother is alarmed, and finding th : family doctor out of town another one is called. He finds on examination of the urine that the child has nephritis or inflammation of the kidneys, and Mary is sent to bed. She is seriously ill for several weeks. She gats well for the time but her kidneys are maimed for life. By this time there is a general outbreak of scarlet fever all ever the town. Everyone is alarmed. The public schools are closed. Ta3 local board of health and the medical officer of health take stringent measures, but despite their efforts the number of cases grow. The outbreak lasts most of the winter, spreading to the adjacent townships and villages. It seems to wear itself out towards spring, returning again -after the lapse of a year or two to carry on in the same way. Several fine child'. ;n have died of the disease during the winter, and several mothers of families are left with aching heartsand the outer semblance of mourning for their little ones. Others have had somewhat the experience of Mary's mother. But let us follow Mary a little further. Ten or twelve years have passed, and she has grown to be a fine young woman. She is courted and married by one of the best young men in an adjacent town. She is loved :and happy. Her husband has provided a pretty home, and her mother and father are rejoiced to see that she has bright prospects before her. After a few months she writes her mother that she is not feeling well, that she is sick in the mornings, vomits a good deal and has headaches. To the mother this is not unusual. Her daughter is pregnant. Most of women have these little troubles when in this condition. But she is not improv- ing and the mother is shocked when she visits her to find Mary with puffy swollen face and legs. The'doetor must be called at once. He promises to call in the morning, but during tee'night Mary has some sort of a fit and becomes unconscious. The doctor comes hurriedly. He :finds the ,patient, has eclampsia There ,is a consultation. A n=ecessary operation is deeidedi upon, but in spite of the efforts of two or three of the best doctors 61 the; neighborhood and of a specialist from a nearby city, the poor young woman dies. What a tragedy! It is not an uncommon occurrence. It dates back to the neglected case of scarlet fever in the little school; girl. The neglect Itas .had far-reaching consequences. Every neighborhood' has had such cases. Every .physician is familiar with them. Mild cases of scarlet fever are often more dangerous than seVere ones. The mild cases fail to receive the careful attention which•would pre- vent the disastrous consequences just outlined. These' mild ,cases, because` they are not controlled, spread'the conte -aloe far and wide. Tho same is true to acme extent of all other contagious diseases. It is plaYin.g With public health,and with human lite, health, and happiness to deal with t11e moat important as t of the people, , good health, in such: a fashion. Flory` CAA It be remedies ,t3y education; treople Must learn -that the best and. snot satlafaactory way .to deal With these contagious 'diseases is to be frank about them. The slightest sttspicion of scarlet fever in a family should suttee to have,the Medical Officer of 1Issalth notified and the case prevented., from doing any' harm to others. If Mary's case had been rogariled with `due ',might and received proper treatment stte would now have beets a hai4pV 'wife and mether',, but Alas. her foolish mother and reekleas doctor iird ]gl:. ixte, .
