LTD, grout majority of all those report od cases have occurred In the Pre-School and Sohool-Age group, In the case of Diphtheria and BSoarlet Vever, two of the most serious diseases dealt with, and #lso in the case of Measles, the Pre-School age group is pointed out as the one that has the poor. ost chances of surviving the type of 11inoss, In connection with these dis causes mentioned, there can be no question of the really great value of the immunization against Digh- therin and Scarlot Fever, which has been carried on by our Local Board of Health, among the chil dren of our City, It in known that all the canes of Diphiheria reported arose from sources of contagion outside of our ety, It is very interesting to note that eleven cases of Hoarlet Fever reported occurred In adults, employed at business or industrial work, and, therefore, with mark. od opportunity for contact and spread of the disease, Our Public Health Nursing Ser- vice cannot be too highly con. gratulated on the very valuable work It is doing, Influenza and Pneumonia Although both Influenza and Pnoumonin are, In the Regulations for the control of Communicable Disease, under the Public Health Act, declared to he notifiable dis Oason, they have not yet beon give en by tho Medical Practitioners that consideration, In fact the only record available of the pres anca of either of these diseases i8 the death reports showing those people who have died from Influ- onsa, or from Puoumonias of whatever kind. Both these dis oases have taken a fairly heavy toll of the population of the City and surrounding country, to judge by the reported number of deaths. By heresay one knows that Influ- OnEA was rather frequent from September on, during 1020, and had been also rather frequent in January, February and March of the same year, but the general consensus of opinion was that the manifestations of tha disease were fairly mild, nothing lke the sever. ity which the disease exhibits In Ith acute epidemic or pandemic form, Other Diseases Bronchitis---Two cases of doath from Bronchitis are reported Neptic Nronchitis and Hronehlecs tanls, 5 yours; Chronic Bronchitis and Hypostatie Pneumonia, 44 YOArS, Asthma --Two cases of from Asthma aro reported le Bronchial Asthma, 46 Chronle Bronchial Asthma Emphysema, 50 yoars, Cancor--<The deaths from Can cor reported number 17 and this In squivalent to 6.50 per cent, of the total deaths reported, The canes are all in adults, starting al the prime of Ife, and going over the divide of life into advanced years and are an follows Diseases of the Kidneys Five cases of death where dis onie of the Kidneys was present have hoon reported and these all cour An the ages past maturity from 40 to 84, P Dinbetes Five cases of death from Dia betes have boen reported. These CANON (are of Interest, not ae much beause of the diabetic condition present, but because of the lowe: ed physical rosistance caused by (he presence of this disease and the readiness with which a com plicating disease produces an un fortunate outcome Cirrhosis of the Liver Two cases of death from Cire hosin are reported. Hypertepphic Cirrhosin (Chronfe) and Haem- orrhage, 60 years; Cirrhosis of Liver, 70 yearn Gioltre Two cases of death from Goltre (Toxle' Type) are reported, Old Age Fourteen cases of death In old ake, with complicating conditions have heen reported, Vascular, Cardine, and Vascular Conditions By far the most Important causes of death recorded are those Associated with diseased and de generative conditions associated with Cardio-Vascular mechanism Approximately, 13.8 per cent of the cases of death recorded for 1020 wore due to diseases which oan he classed In this mroup, where heart and main blood ves sein are affected and excluding vasoular conditions in the cere bram, which In amount account for 10.4 per cent. of total deaths roported, 27 canon of disease of the ves soln of the Cerebrum are reports od , 86 canes of disease of the Mare and blood vossels are report. o death Chron YORrs and Cardio. This means that nearly 25 per aent, of the total deaths recorded for 1080 are due to disease con: ditions associated with the clreus latory pumping mechanism of the body and its vessels, In any event the figures seem to point out that, after 40 yoars of age, the human machine can very rapidly undergo degonerative conditions, which so materially at foot the whole body economy as to soon lead to death, The weak spot in the whole mechanism seems to bo primarily the elroulas tory mechanism, Provision Preventive Work And Intant Weltare The valuable work being done by the Medical snd Nursing Sere vices of the Looal Board of Hoalth, | Discussion of and with the co-operation of the Hospital officials, If such co-0peritive action can not be granted, then we shall be compelled to look once again for location in the Northern part of the City, where such work can be carried out by our staff, At presont, the only suitable and logical places are to be found in rooms connected with some of the schools of the City, As the work Is too important to be al- lowed to he neglected, action must immediately be taken to deal with this situation, The need for such Clinle nee commodation Is made much mors evident as the result of the sure veys continually being made of pre-school age children and the work required to be gone for these younger citizens, The more one does In Public Health Welf ro Work, the more one realizes that the major ore fort, and the one which can glve the greatest and most striking re- turns, is the immunization and preventive medical, dental, nurs ing, and other Heulth Welfare Work, to he done for these chil dren, During the Department © your from November 1, 1028, to Octo bor 41, 1020, there wore reported 60 cases of Venersnl Disease, with one doath, Concise Survey of Death Returns With Analysis of Findings Approximately one-third of al the deaths registered were associ ated with Maternal, .
