Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Annual Report of the State Board of Health of Illinois 1877 He would ask, however, that authority be granted for the publication of such sections of his quarterly report as are of public interest and in this connection the desirability of an official monthly publication by the Board is suggested. Monthly Publication - "State Medicine": Such publication should contain reports of the proceedings of the Board, properly edited so as to embrace only matters of public interest; a list of State certificates issued during the month, setting forth the name of the recipient, postoffice address, qualifications - as to degrees, etc., - and names and addresses of endorsers. Parenthetically it may be remarked that it is believed such publicity given to endorsers would lead to more care in furnishing letters of endorsement It should embrace extracts from the Secretary´s correspondence of special interest to practitioners, students and medical colleges: to lawyers and States attorneys, concerning the enforcement of the Medical-Practice Act; to health officers and local boards of health: to teachers and other school authorities; and to the public on personal hygiene, municipal sanitation and preventive medicine. It is believed that such a publication would add greatly to the usefulness and efficiency of the Board. An estimate of cost and suggestion of title and style are herewith submitted. Transportation of the Dead - Diphtheria: At the January, 1891, meeting of the Board the Secretary, Dr. Rauch, announced that, at the recent meeting of the American Public Health Association, he had introduced a resolution looking to including diphtheria, scarlet fever, typhoid or enteric fever, measles and varicella in the list of quarantinable diseases, and his action was endorsed by the Board. The recent wide-spread prevalence of the first disease of this list - diphtheria - and repeated instances of the introduction of its contagion by the transportation of the bodies of its victims, emphasize the wisdom of the resolution and dictate such revision of the rules of the Board concerning the transportation of the dead as will at least restrict this mode of diffusion. A striking illustration of such diffusion was reported by the Secretary, Dr. Rauch, at the February, 1890, meeting: "A child thirteen years of age dies from diphtheria at Ravenswood, III., on December 6, 1889.On the 8th the corpse was taken to Zanesville, Ohio, accompanied by the parents and their four children. The coffin was opened and viewed by the family of the dead child on December 8th. On the 13th these four children and their mother were strickened with the disease, and four days later three of the children of the family in which they visited and one other child contracted the disease. Nine cases from one center of infection - four of them resulting fatally." Commenting on this Dr. Ranch said: "The history of this case is another illustration of the malignant contagiousness of diphtheria, and of the necessity for strictly private funerals, as well as of the danger of transporting to distant places for interment the bodies of those who die from contagious and infectious diseases." Another outbreak of diphtheria due to the transportation of a corpse is thus narrated in the daily papers: "Columbus, Ohio, March 7. - John C. McGregor, reading clerk of the Ohio House of Representatives, died to-day of diphtheria, his wife and four children besides himself all having fallen victims to the same disease in the last three weeks. These cases of diphtheria were a few of many caused at Zanesville by the shipment of the corpse of a little girl who died of the disease in Chicago, with a physicians certificat
