BY JOHN 6V. 9, 114cO0LLOUGH, M.D., D.P.H., CHIEF OFFICER VI'Ir>rios:sc CEREBROSPINAL MENINGITIS, HIS is an old disease which has been brought into unusual prom- inenee by the fact that some of the soldiers in concentration camps have suffered from it. But it hes been the experience in Toronto at least, that more of the civil population have suffens& from the disease than have soldiers, It is a communicable (that is "catching"1 disease: It is also known as a "carrier" di -ease; that is, some persons wbo do not suffer from the disease carry its germs in their noses and throat'- and give it to well people. Cerebro -spinal meningitis is also flue to the germs of pneumonia and tuberculosis. EPIDEMIC also forms are practically always- 1'.tia1, The form CEREBRO-SPIN.'ii, commonly found is due to a gern with the high- sounding name of meningu-coccus, It Is moat suc- cesafully treated with a serum which Is injected into the spinal canal after removal of some of the spinal fluid. The disease appears to be quite contagious, probably through the Medium of the 21050 and throat discharges.As already r 'Marked, it is eat a new disease, it nreurred during the Napoleonic ware, in the Crimean war, and in the United States Civil war, and at various t+ :s in epidemic form in Europe and the United States. It is not a war de ;,ce, but is more noticeable in war tines because large numbers of /11R11 arc congregated together, The serum f•,r its treatment requ;res to be most carefully prepared, It Is supplied free t , the people of this Province on application to the Pro- vincial Board of Peu1th, s e There is a popular idea that dogs become mad in the hot days of summer, the dr; eve. This belief has no foundation; In tact, Hydro- phobia or Rabier•, the proper name for (hie affection of dogs, may occur at any time of the year, and as a matter of fact the fewest cases are found iu Ontario in the su::•inertime. A dog affected with rabies suffers a most complete alteration of his habits, If he bas been friendly and playful he becomes quiet and morose and will snap al his best friends. He leaves home and runs the country, gets into fights with other dogs and often infects them, te. MAD DOGS dog manifesting a change of disposition should at once be chained up or kept in 0 safe enclosure under observation. If he has rabies he will die within ten days. Ho should not be killed at once, because the evidence of his affection may be destroyed. When he dies his head should be packed in ice and sawdust and expressed to the Laboratory of the. Provincial Board of Health, No. 5 Queen's Park, Toronto, where an examination will be made free of charge and report made to the sender, If a dog which is proven to be rabid baa bitten anyone, the person bitten should he sent for treatment to No. 6 Queen's Park, Toronto, where preventive Pasteur treatment is given free of charge. The treatment requires a period of three weeks, and does not interfere with the person going about and enjoying the sights of this great city, In the last six years th huendredslies( of eases of (1008008 bitten by dogs have recely.-d !hie O' rment- results in every instance.
