HEALTH OFFICERS' CONFERENCE.
TI3E annual conference of Ontario Health Officers for 1916 was held
on the last two days in May. It was, in point of numbers, im-
portance of papers presented, and general interest, perhaps, the
most interesting meeting of medical officers of health we have
eve had.
One of the most instructive papers was read by Dr. W, H. Park, who for
many years has been Director of the Laboratories of the Health Department
of New York City. Dr. Park is an expert upon Diphtheria, and in his address
he outlined the methods of his Department in the diagnosis, prevention, and
treatment of t3a disease in which he and his associates have been special-
izing. • The City of New York is divided into sections and the children
grouped in order that tests may be carried out to discover those
who are carriers of the disease, and to obtain more thorough information
as to the causes for the spreading of the disease. Dr, Park said that the
scheme has been productive of wonderful results. Regarding the use of
antitoxin he said that from practical experience he was of the opinion that
the full amount of antitoxin required should be given in the first injection;
another way to obtain prompt results was by injection Of the remedy
directly into 2 vein so as to reach the blood stream at once. He advocates
single large doses,
Dr, Cruickshank, M. O. H. of Windsor, gave a most instructive paper
upon tonsils and adenoids in children. The doctor is one of the best of our
Health Officers, He has been engaged in making tests in this subject
among children in the Windsor schools, and has come to the conclusion
that tonsils and adenoids are responsible for a good deal of disease among
children, He advocates their removal, and in addition suggests that the
abolition of baby comforts, the provision of proper Ventilation in school
and sleeping rooms and the proper care of children's health would prevent
a lot of disease, There is sound wisdom in his remarks.
A timely discussion, in view of the great prevalence of the disease dur-
ing the past season, was carried on in reference to Measles, it was pointed
out by various speakers that Measles is most difficult to control from the
fact that it comes on like any ordinary coryza or cold, and that the most
contagious period of the disease is probably before the rash appears. The
present quarantine period (three weeks) was regarded by the officers,
present as being too long and failed to do the good expected of it, The:
concensus of opinion seemed to be that two weeks, which would cover" the,
period of incubation and contagion, is long enough. It is probable that.
this discussion will ne given due weight by the Board, and lead to a short-•
ening of the quarantine period,
There was considerable discussion regarding the question of allowing
the breadwinner of the family to go to work while his child is ill of -
Measles, or other communicable disease. This is at present a matter of
discretion with the M. 0, H. and is usually allowed except, of course, in
cases where the man of the house is a teacher of pupils at some school, or
is engaged in the manufacture of food or clothing. It is very unlikely that
these diseases are carried by a third person unless he or she ie a "carrier."
These annual conferences have had a very marked affect upon the
efficiency of the various medical officers Who are regular attendants. In
almost all cases our medical officers of health are seen at every meeting,
where there is ample opportunity for the discussion of the problems which
are met by there in their various municipalities,

In the same house or in personal contact with him, The expense of this
,patient's care must be borne by the municipality where he has had his usual
place of abode, The Ontario Government paya $3.00 per week toward the
maa'kttenance of such patient,
