Communicable
Diseases
Curbed
by
Immunization
Elsewhere
on
this
aj;e,
is
a
list
of
the
number
of
cases
of
communicable
diseases
reported
in
Prince
Rupert
during
1914.
The
figures
make
interesting
reading.
For
example,
they
show
that
there
were
no
cases
of
whooping
cough
during
the
year.
And
yet
just
two
years
ago,
this
city
had
31
cases
in
the
12-month
period.
Wiped
out?
No,
just
controlled,
and
it
can
remain
controlled
so
long
as
you
and
I
do
our
part
to
become
Informed
on
what
whooping
cough
is
and
how
to
protect
against
it.
It
is
the
same
story
with
diphtheria.
There
were
44
cases
in
1K42,
none
in
1944.
Again
we
controlled
it.
And
when
we
say
"We,"
that
means
You
and
I
in
co-operation
with
the
local
medical
practitioners
and
the
health
department.
Without
your
help
and
mine,
the
doctors
could
not
have
done
it
alone.
These
diseases
could
break
out
again
if
we
do
not
remain
alert
against
them.
Here
are
some
of
the
well-known
and
more
common
diseases
and
bow
to
protect
your
self
and
your
family
against
them.
Whooping
Cough
Of
all
communicable
diseases,
this
one
is
most
likely
to
affect
the
youngsters
of
the
family,
Many
cases
occur
in
infants
of
six
months
of
age
or
less,
while
the
largest
proportion
occurs
be
Jween
the
ages"
of
one
and
three
years.
In
older
children,
while
the
disease
may
not
be
as
severe,
there
is
still
the
long
drawn
out
convalescence,
with
its
nights
of
coughing
and
wakefulness
which
are
perhaps
harder
on
the
par
ents
than
on
the
child!
Prevention
Most
recently
added
to
the
list
of
preventive
measures
agairfst
communicable
disease
is
whooping
cough
vaccine.
It
provides
immunization
in
over
80
per
cent
of
the
children
and
if
the
disease
is
contracted
it
is
much
milder.
Whooping
cough
vaccine
is
under
the
skin
like
diphtheria
toxoid.
It
should
be
given
be
twecn
the
ages
of
six
months
and
one
year.
It
is
usually'
iriven
in
three
visits
to
the
doctor,
who
gives
two
injections'
at
each
visit.
There
is
a
preparation
used
in
Prince
Rupert
which
combines
whooping
cough
vaccine
and
diphtheria
toxoid.
This
is
proving
satisfactory
and
means
that
immunization
against
diphtheria
and
whooping
cough
can
be
carried
on
with
the
same
injections
which
saves
manytrips
to
the
doctor
or
cHnic.
Scarlet
Fever
And
what
about
scarlet
fever!
It
is
a
communicable
disease,
too.
It
can
cause
heart
conditions
or
deafness
or
kidney
disease.
Many
cases
occur
in
Canada
each
year.
And
yet
there
is
a
substance
which
gives
80
per
cent
protection
against
this
disease.
It
is
known
as
scarlet
fever
toxin.
Protection
Scarlet
fever
toxin
is
given
in
five
doses,
a
week
apart,
and
many
health
officers
.advocate
a
sixth
dose
to
ensure
protection.
It
is

given
under
the
skin
just
like
diphtheria
toxoid
and
causes
very
little
pain
or
reaction
afterwards.
It
should
be
given
between
the
ages
of
one
and
two
years.
Scarlet
fever
toxin
has
not
been
perfected
as
has
diphtheria
tox
oid
and
since
so
many
doses
are
required,
some
health
departments
do
not
plan
campaigns,
but
they
give
informatin
in
regard
to
scarlet
fever
toxin
and
distribute
it
to
physicians
who
wish
to
immunize
patients
against
this
disease.
Diphtheria
Diphtheria,
too,
is
a
"germ'1
disease,
which
spreads
very
rapidly
from
one
person
to
another,
either
by
direct
contact
or
by
mean
of
"carriers"
and
infected
Mothing,
dishes,
common
drink-
ing
cups,
etc.
Poison
from
the
germs
spreads
through
the
body.
It
is
a
killing
disease,
though,
at
times,
it
is
deceitful
by
its
very
mildness.
In
the
old
days
before
the
discovery
of
antitoxin
and
toxoid,
it
wiped
out
whole
families
and
even
communities
because
of
its
severity.
It
was
dreaded
al
most
as
much'
as
smallpox.
It
attacks
all
ages,
but
is
much
more
apt
to
attack
young
child
ren,
especially
those
from
six
months
old
up.
It
is
also
more
se
vere
in
these
younger
children
and
causes
more
deaths.
Even
when
apparently
mild,
it
leaves
or
may
leave,
serious
heart
and
nerve
complications.
Treatment
Antitoxin
is
of
great
value
in
treating
diphtheria.
If
given
early
enough,
and
in
large
quantities,
it
will
save
life
and
help
prevent
complications.
But
there
is
the
problem
of
finding
the
disease
early
and
getting
the
antitoxin
in
time.
Surely
we
do
not
want
our
children
to
be
sick
with
the
dis
ease,
let
alone
die
of
it!
Protection
And
here
TOXOID
comes
to
the
rescue.
Toxoid
will
protect
our
children
against
taking
the
disease.
It
is
usually
given
in
three
small
doses
under
the
skin.
The
doses
are
spaced
about
three
weeks
to
a
month
apart.
Each
dose
hurts
only
about
as
much
as
u
mosquito
bite.
There
is
no
"tick"
reaction
to
it
when
given
at
un
curly
age.
It
is
best
given
Irom
six
months
to
nine
months
of
age.
A
fourth
o
r
"rcinforcingw
dose
should
be
given
when
the
child
starts
to
school,
or
even
earlier.
There
is
a
test
known
as
the
Schick
tesft
Which
tells
4f
the
child
has
been
protected
against
diphtheria
and
whether
further
injection
are
necessary.

is

persons

It
is

preventive

It

germs
and

Diphtheria

this.
Smallpox
We
all
know
what
smallpox
is,
though
many
of
us
have
never
seen
a
case.
Perhaps
that
is
why
we
forget
that
smallpox
is
a
killing
disease.
We
forget
how
disfiguring
it
can
be.
We
forget
that
it
was
once
the
most
dreaded
of
all
diseases,
and
that
it
wiped
out
a
tenth
of
the
population
at
a
time.
It
used
to
be
that

was
used

Yet
smallpox
is
still
here,
and
there
are

There
is

against
smallpox.
