\\c'clncsda\ , Docciiibcr 2, 1936 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES •N CANADA SCARLET FEVER A great deal could be accomplished in the way of provcntiiig the spread; of communicable diseases in the home,' if it werp made a household rule to isolate, from all other children, any child who is ill. | The child who falls ill with vomit- j injf and fever may be sutterinjf simply! from a digestive upset. Neverthe- less, this picture of vomiting and fever, which may bo afcompanied or followed by a sore throat and perhaps a runninp nose, is typical of the onset of several comnuinicable diseases, in- cludinjf scarlet fever. To place the ill child in bed is the best thing for him, and by keeping the other children out of his room, the chance of his transmitting any disease to them is removed. Later, the doc- tor will decide as to the nature of the illness, and this will determine the necessity or otherwise of continued isolation. It is worth while remem- bering that an isolated child, or adult, cannot transmit disease. For quite some time, scarlet fever has not been nearly as fatal as it previou.sly was. It is .iust as preval- ent as ever but, in most countries, it shows itself in a mild form. A few countries in Eastern Kuropo continue to experience a severe typo of scarlet fever. Tile term •"Streptococcus" has come into fairly common usage. The streptococcus group of germs is u large one, the members of which have certain common characteristics. Thert is, at the same time, a great diffe^- ence in other of their characteristics, as shown in the various conditions to which one or other streptocrus gives rise in the human body. "It is one of the streptococci which is responsible for scarlet fever. The poison or toxin which it produces causes the symptoms of the disease. An antitoxin, which conteracts the toxin, is available, and it is used in the treatment of scarlet fever. By means of the Dick Test, it is possible to recognize individuals who ;ii\. susceptible to scarlet fever, and these susceptibles may be rendered immune or resistant through a series of injections of very small doses of thi' toxin. This method of providinc protection for the individual against scarlet fever is used by many of the doctor.*. It is practised as a routine in mo.st children's institutions and Is ii.^ed by doctors and nurses, who are likely to be exposed to the disease, if the Dick Test has shown them to be susceptible. VICTORIA CORNERS Mrs. .Stevens is again in bed for a month this time. Winnifred Tal- bot is nursing her. A few of the neighbors and friends ^-peiit an enjoyable evening at the iiomes of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Atkinso i on Tuesday to bid them fai'owell and wish tliem much success in their new undeitaking. Mr. and Mrs. Atkin- son and family jifi on Thursday for Berkeley, where they have bought a store. 'Ihe pupils of S. S. No. 4, presented .\lma Atkinson with a fountain pen before her departure. Winter seems to be here in earnest, very cold weather, pleirty of snow, snow fences in place, and our faithful mail man, Mr. Russell Irwin has dis- carded the car foi- the "old prey mare," of course shi; may not be old but she is grey, even the snow plough is making a trip on the high- way. .Myrtle Moore of Toronto spent a few days at her home here. Mary Runciman and Gordon Ward spent the week end at Chas. Moore's. When a man gets moi-e than he wants it is generally something he doesn't want. .Away bark in the early bicycle days there was a Brampton by-law, only recently reScinded, which permitted automobiles on town streets only on Mondays. Wednesdays and Fridays. An authority assures us that "a barking dog never bites," but adds that there are exceptions to all rules. Th,. trouble is in recognizing the ex. ception.

It is doutily sad to learn too that there are about 6..500 active cases of tubercuiosL-i in this Province ri«ht now. And what Is more to the point, more than half of the people who died of tuberculiais last year and of those who are now sick, are yotinK people in tho prliiio. productive ages or Ufe. between .flftoen and forty-five. SLxty out of every one hundred d.-atlis from tuberculosis oci-ur in these agi'S. Early youtli. tho years between Hfteeu and tweniy-tlve. is an especially danger- ous time for tho development of tuber<-u- losis. It is at this time, when yoting people are in high school, eollice or just entering into industry, that tuberculosis takes its greattst toll. Because it is not discovered and treated in time, tho disease^ gets a foothold and becomes fatal in as many as eigiily young pe<iple out of every lOo.cKK) living at ages twenty- five to twenty-nine. If all young men and women Ix'twoeu ttftivn and th;"ty could h« given a proper chtwi X-ray examination, if those found to have tin* Uise;ise could bo given proper care, and if all tho sources from whieli tliey werw infected <oidd be found, tuberculosis could easily be brought under control. These tlireo "ifs" aro difficult but not lmpo.ssiblo to attain. In tact, this is ilie goal of tho tuben-u- losis campaign of the Muskoka Hn.spital for Consumptive and the Toronto Hospital for Con-suniptives. Any con- iriliution you maive toward the wirii of these hospitals will help to conquer tuherrolosis. Please s«"nd your gift to National Sanitarium Association. ~-^ College St.. Toronto.
