AN INCREASE IN SMALLPDX
1
What the Comparative Figures of the
Province of Ontario Show.
A despelch from Toronto says: 'n
hie minuet report to the Ontario Beard
of lh ant 1)r. (lodgetts, Secretary of
the board, draws attention to the filet
that iur';ng 1907 there was en increase
o; r`nwllp.ox compared with 1906. Com-
menting upon the position, he says
that the total of 833 cases rcperted fails
to represent the actual number of cas-
es As the result of inquiries made by
the officers of Mho board it has teen
t€und that large numbers of cases of
sn►ullpwx have occurred without medical
attendanro being called In owing to ig-
norance of the true nature) of the dis-
ease from which the patients were suf-
fering. In other instances cases had
been concealed on account of fear of
quarantine. This has resulted in the
spread of the disease. In many muni-
cipalities the disease was not recogniz-
ed, but was diagnosed as chickenpox
or impetigo. Local health authorities
sere therefore again cautioned that
when u ciso of eruptious disease !s
known to exist no time should be lost
in ascertaining its true character.
Diphthera shows little difference as
compared with 1908, and 283 deaths re-
sulted. Only about half the number
o' eases of enteric were reported last
ytar as In the previous twelve months,
but the disease was of a more severe
type, and ill was responsible for 425
deaths. as against 697 for the preced-
ing year.
Dr. IlodgetLs remarks with salisfn'---
lion that the increased interest shown
to local authorities in health questions
is evidenced by the fact that the re-
turns mado to his department report
on 92 per cent. of the estimated popu-
lation of the Province. There hes been
ar increase in the number of apses of
ineasies and scaletna notified, but the
outbreaks were of a mild type.
