SPECIAL GARE FOR CERTAIN AILWENTS * Confagions Diseases Require Skilled Treatment (By Carl H. Wintsch M. D.) Member Gorgas Memorial Institute Chicago, Jan. 17 (United Press)— In the enlightenment of each new medical discovery with a bearing upon contagious diseases, the added possibilities of prevention are em- phasized as an infinite part of the doctor's work. To develop | possibilities is of great importance, | yet with extensive educational cam- | paigns it has been found difficult to obtain acceptance of preventive methods. The public in general may be convinced of the merits of pre-| vention but if success is to bo| achleved with contagious diseases it must be through compulsory methods. It is known that vaccination can | practically obliterate smallpox. The | public is aware of this faet, ¥ adopting vaccination as a compul sory practice is obstructed by some | people who contend that their per- sonal rights are infringed. The work of prevention of diph- theria and scarlet fever has been | proven efficacious through the | Schick and Dick tests. Scarlet fever and diphtheria are| most prevalent among children, par- | ticularly these under ten i age. If prevention i3 resorted to at! an early age, by the administration of toxin-anti-toxin, the mortality rate of diphtheria would be ma- terlally reduced. Nothing can be done to reduce the death rate of diphtheria if dependence is placed upon home diagnosis of a child's complaint by well meaning but mis guided parents. { The Schick test indicates the su- ceptibility or non-susceptibility of | tho patient.to diphtheria. If the test shows that it is possible for the| child “to catch” the disease, then| the toxin-anti-toxin should be ad-! ministered to prevent such an oo-| currence. Prevention and control of -scarlet fever are the properties of the Dick st. Susceptibility or non-suscepti- Lty is included by the test and subsequent use of the anti-toxin gives the deired immunization. With jthe ‘use of these’ preventlve ineasures. there is no good reason why disastrons epldemics of diph- theria and scarlet fever should oc- cur. In itself that should be suffi- cient justification for the adoption of these preventives since it s bet- tor for the health and happiness of the human race that disastrous con- ditions be forestalled rather than awaited.
