Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Twelfth Annual Report of the Provincial Board of Health of Ontario: Being for the Year 1893 To the Honorable George Airey Kirkpatrick, Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Ontario. May it please Your Honor: It is a cause of thankfulness for the people of this province, that throughout the past year it has not suffered from devastating visitations of disease, such as of cholera, small-pox, diphtheria, scarlet fever, and others of an infectious or zymotic kind. These have threatened a progress towards us, and the last three, together with typhoid fever, have had a more or less limited prevalence within our borders; but they have always been kept within manageable bounds by means of the observance of the sanitary measures which this Board has been constituted to direct, and with which the people of the province are yearly becoming more familiar, and more ready to comply with. Reports from a distance have reached us of the existence of Asiatic cholera in mam parts of Europe and Asia, and under old conditions it would, with little doubt, have ere long appeared here: but by reason of the beneficent common understanding which exists among civilized nations with regard to sanitation, the dreadful scourge of cholera no longer moves at will, but has had its power cramped and confined. May we not hope that this result of a common effort in a good cause may prove a lesson to the people who have shared in it of the happy outcome of such an exercise of good will among men! Small-pox, after years of comparative quiescence, has begun to be heard of again of late, and has during the past year compelled the attention and action of the Provincial Board. Owing to the vigilance of the health authorities both in Canada and the United States the disease has not been permitted to spread in either country, except in Chicago, isolation of the sick having been quickly effected, and vaccination having been enforced on those who came in contact with them.
