P'n:h was elected to mmbership, and for the transportation committee President busy with other matters, it had been thought wise to wait a while. He also intimated that instead of considering the local charities at the next meeting, the city charter might be the subject. Presid=nt Tracy referred to. the sub- jett of the evening, and stated that the programme had been arranged by Dr. H. M. Pollock. Dr. Pollock upon being called stated that the idea came about through Supt. Symington of the Backus hospital suggesting to the Med- ical society that antitoxin be furnished free to the poor of Norwich. This came before the soclety’s comniittee, and was referred to the board’s com- mittee, Dr. Pollock being chairman of that committee. 3 The Health of the City. ‘There were nine _speakers on sub- topics, which occupled the entire even- ing The first was Dr. N. B, Lewls, the city health officer, whose subject was The Health of the City. Dr.Lewis said the health of the city depends upon what the people choose to make it, as it all depends upan the sanitation and the efforts to prevent the causes of disease. It is not the varfous modes of eating which affect it, as the mode of living must be governed by the work done. There is need of public sanita- tion, proper sewers and pure water. He referred to the fact that of thé 22 miles of sewers here, seven miles, or nearly one-third of the system, has been buiit in the last seven years. Before that time Norwich was in a very bad way ®s to health. By reason of the sewers, sac itury conditions aboat houses huve been improved and over 1400 closets have replaced outbulldings.’ There has 2lso been the abatement of Gilbert, Comstock, Hickory street ponds, the Fowler, Franklin = street, 'Silk = mill brooks have been covered, and _the Franklin street sewer has been extend- ed into the river seventy feet. In those ponds, such as have been abated as nuisances, malaria, typhoid fever and other germs breed. It is the removal of the causes which prevent the dis- eases. He referred to the epidemic in Greeneville when there were seventy deaths, and the epidemic at the alms- house caused by impure water from & contaminated spring. There should be Zood street sprinkling, no spitting in the streets, fumigation, samitary build- ings, pure’ milk, proper care of chil- dren during the summer months, and proper care for the tuberculosis vic- tims. He read the record of cases of scarlet fever and diphtheria for the past few years to show that there had been a great decreasc in the number. His recommendations were sewers, clean streets. and yards, clean school buildings and no street spitting. Health of the Town. Town Health Officer Dr. George Thompson spoke om The Health of the Town, saying that all Jaws governing the public health must have the consent of the people. There should be active support of the enforcement of the laws, and nuisances should bé called to the health officer's attention. Patience 4y be a virtue,but it becomes a crime when health is concerned to sit calmly by and wit for someone clse to act. The fly, he said, is a big distributor of the germs. This is not wholly & matter of theory, as the fly has been caught with the goods, tile mor- tality s most- prevalent in fly-time, and milk is the most perfect culture for nearly all bacteria. The fly is a recognized menace to good sanitation. In England the fly is conspicuous by its absence, and It should be here, by keeping clean and looking after broed- ing places. If people will clean up they will have no need for screens, and have thereby better ventilation. ‘War has also been made on the mos- quito, and the Tats, which are disease spreacers The Backus Hos, Henry A. Tirrell, secretary of the Backus hospital board of directors, spoke on TheBackus Hospital. Tho hospital, he sald, is a place of emer- gency, and we have a remarkable hos- pital, ‘being larger than those in other cities of this size, It has 65 beds and cost $200,000. It “was $500,000 working for the good of the city of Norwich. “The equipment is modern in every respect, having a home for the nurses, a fine operating room equip- ment and it does a big outside work. 1t is here to o all it can for Norwich. Over 7,000 cases have been treated there In 16 years and 20,000 cases have been treated outside. Hospital work ‘Is the greatest that can be done in any community. He referred to the founders as men looking ahead for the welfare of ‘the community and de- clared public spirited citizens are among the best assets a city has. The hospital. he said, has plans for the building of a new maternity ward and increased facilities for treating children so that within a short time there will be increased activity in new work. It {s understood this addition will be a three-story building and may contain quarters for the hospital staff. Suggestions will be welcomed, said the speaker, regarding the hospital work. It is doing a great work now and wishes to do greater. Backus Hospital Free Dispensary. . Supt. Frederick Symington of the Backus hospital spoke upon the free dispensary connected with - the insti- tution. He stated that the hospital had not been opened a year when the board of directors wanted to extend the work and bri the hospital to the poor people. In 1304 the dispemsary was opened for two hours In the afternoon for general dlseases and in addition for eye and ®ar treatment from 9 to 11 every Friday morning. Soon after it was opened for women and children’s diseases for an hour. In 1908, the question of moving the dispensary to the center of the city came up. It was pitiful to see the many sick who applied for treatment. dispensary was mov- ed to lower Washington street, which entailed additional expense, but in the first"year 92 more cases were treated there than during the last year the dispensary was at the hospital. In the second peme e e now looation B further increassd in number of cases 988 over the first there. Ail med- icine and surgieal dressings are fur. nished free. There have been 7,850 patients at the hoapital and 23,405 Vis- its there. ‘When the eye and ear department the rent_schools Rotined thut aty noor children meeding Randyn t IR aves wutid e’ carel for an s furnished them. 1 a0 hak oe schbors. had taken ihe full advatitage of this opportunity. culosis bacillis 1s current, as is 2 measles and scarlet fever. Sno trasamimion: py. WALAE, “soll il He spoke in particular of the diph- theria baccillus, which locates in the throat and works through a poison which travels through the body, para- Iyzing the heart muscles. Up to 1895 40 per cent. of the deaths in Boston ‘were from diplitheria, but in 1895 anti- toxin was Introduced, and since then the deaths from that cause have been but about 10 per cent. The early use of antitoxin brings, the best results. The use of it, however, is costly, and often prevents obtaining the benefit. Cases because of diagnosis, or the fail- ure to call a doctor for a day or two, do not get the early benefit of the anti- toxin in wmn’flm(h. poison. To use antitoxin the initial dose must be large, requiring a 5000 unit. This costs’ $7.50, and needs to be followed with lesser amounts, often using up $30 to $25 worth. In cases the doators have to pay for the antitoxin to save the life, and there are many deaths because’ it is not used, or not used early enough. He maintaified that it should be so antitoxin could be secured cheaper, possibly by the town furnish- ing it, and many more lives would be saved than in any other way. Medical Inspection of Schools. Dr. Lester E. Walker spoke upon The Medical Inspeotion of Schools, which, he said, cencerns the school children. He told of the fact that children show symptoms in the school room whereby if they were noticed and the children sent home and placed under observa- tion epidemics could be prevented and the spread of the disease checked. The inspector goes into the echool rooms. looks over the children and may find signs of uncleanliness, mouth disease, eye trouble, curvature of the spine, er- rors in vision, deafness or adenoids, all of which need attention, and as soon as possible. Otherwise they might not be ‘discovered for some time. There should also e the sanitary arinking fountain, paper towels and other cessities. In New York city the schools have daily Inspection and the inspectors are at the call of the teach- ers in others. Norwich, he sald, is de- ficient in the hysienic care of the schools, and he hoped to see Norwich take a decided step for hmprovement. Tuberculosis. Dr. E. J. Brophy's topic was Tu- berculosis—Early Symptoms and Pre- vention. Tuberculosis, he sald, is caused by the tubercular bacillus and organism, found in all lands. The peo- ple should be familiar with the earlier stages so that something can be done. It is.often that the one afflicted has no knowledge of it. Symptoms are loss of appetite, tired feeling, lack of ambition, & continued hoarseness, all of which should lead to an investi- gation. It is also manifested by the welling up of ‘blood ffom the lungs. Pleurisy should also arouse suspicion of tuberculosis and shortness of breath might be the first symptom. Unless the germ is present in the body tuber- culdsis cannot exist. Therefore, the problem is how to get rid of these germs, In a bad case, 10,000,000 germs will be expectorated, in & day, 80 it becomes necessary for one suffering from the disease to have the sputum burned by expectorating into some cloth or_paper receptable and Jurning them. Washing them does pot take them out of the cloth. A tuberculosis patient should have his own . eating utensils, should not kiss or be kissed and should not mafry. Tubercul, Camps. Camps for the treatment of tuber- culosis _was the topic assigned Dr. Rush W. Kimball and he said that it is a preventable disease and it is pos- sible to cure it. As the effort to stamp it out started in other places years ago, Norwich is able to profit by their experiences. It is regrettable that 2,000 lives are sacrificed each vear in this state from tuberculosis, and it is surprising to know how much there is of this infection in thisor any commun- ity. Cases can be found at the almhouse and in other institutions and particu- larly among the poor. The need is for a camp for tuberculosis. The most cry- ing need is for an organization which will push forward this matter and se- cure a camp. To do this an anti- tuberculosis organization or an organ- iation in some form should be started. He thought there would be no trouble raising the money and referred to the fact that quite a sum had been raised by the sale of Red Cross stamps for such a camp., The state has named a commission and appropriated $175,- 000 for camps in New Haven, Hartford and Bridgeport, It is intended to have one in each county, in time. Plumbing of Norwich. Arthur M. Brown spoke on Plumb- ing, with remarks on plumbing in Norwich, saying that the plumber is a scientist, and the trade s advancing daily. In Norwich there are 10,000 plumbing fixtures, and it is probable that not one-quarter are properly In- stalled. Many are without vents or traps, or not properly constructed to keep out sewer gas. The city has no means of regulating the work or & system of licensed plumbing. He told of conditions which had been found here and added that health is never bred in filth, There is need here of a code of plumbing regulations and a system for the licensing of plumbers. All the speakers were loudly &p- plauded and at the close a vote of thanks was given. After adjournment refreshments served by the Wauregan house wére served under the direction of the entertalnment committe, A. S. Spalding chairman. UNDERWRITERS MEET.
