PREVENTION OF SCARLET FEVER IS 



On my return from a holiday in Scotland a 



Eaq.) sent for me in great 



haste. Another medical man had been called in 



in my absence. He ordered one of bis children 



to be completely isolated for eight weeks. There 



must be no contact with the other children In 



a for the children were all together with- 



bad result. 



nun of 1907 I was called to attend 

 the o i i L 3. Hatton, Esq., M..\ 



the East London College. One of them I fond 

 suffering from scarlet fever. My own treatment 

 was fully and faithfully carried out The children 

 mingled with each other freely throughout the 

 case without any infection resulting. In con- 

 valescence the children went to the seaside for six 

 s. On their r< .ey travelled with some 



school-children on their way home. In a few days 

 another of t imber was attacked, doubtless 



11 contact with their little fellow-travellers. 



On three separate occasions, C. Smith, Esq., had 

 scarlet fc\<-r in his family of seven. On the last 

 occasion the plan of treatment waa started at once 

 in my absence in every instance successful! 



In iierof 1895 the fever hospitals were 



so full that admission could not be obtainc 

 nine cases. These were kept in the ordinary 

 hospital, carefully treated, without any 

 being atlocte*!.
