Questions V concerning Heélth, 'ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184- College Sfreet. Toronto, will be answered personally by letter. It is unusual to advise anyone to put off, and we do not give the ad- vice in the sense that it is sufficient simply to put off these diseases. Rather do we with to‘stress the parâ€" ticular dangers they present during the earliest years ofra child’s life. Because these diseases are serious, every effort should be made to proâ€" tect children from them. There is never any excuse for "carelessness which leads to the exposure of a child to the danger of disease. Above all does this apply to children during the first years of life. The parent whose care has kept his child from the dangers of measles and whooping- cough during these early years has accomplished something that is Very much Worth-While. The lesson to be learned anpears to be that measles and whooping-cough are particularlv fatal during the ear- liest years of life. Measles takes its heaviest toll from among children one year of age. A large number die from this disease before they are a year old. Three- quarters of the deaths from measles occur before the fifth year of life. It should be clearly understood that measles and whoopingâ€"cough are serious diseases, and that they are directly responsible for a large num- ber of deaths. It should be known also that more than half of the deaths from whooping-cough t_ake place, be- fore the first birthday, and that over ninety per cent of these deaths occur during the first four years of life. In other words, children over four years of age comparatively seldom die frond whooping-cough. Because our knowledge is limited and because we lack the specific means for prevention, such commu- nicable diseases as measles and whoop- ing-cough cannot be eradicated. But even with our present limited kn0w- ledge, 21 great deal can be done to lessen the number of deaths for which measles and whooping-cough are responsible. 7We have the means to make other communilcable diseases rare. Diph- theria will disappear from our midst just as soon as all children are imâ€" mu_nized against this disease. A few generations ago, the same attitude was hled with regard to smallpox, plague, typhus fever and typhoid fever. These diseases are now rare because methods for their prevention have been discovered and applied. Richmond Hill The older, fatalistic View that everyone must pass through a series of attacks'from the common commu- nicable diseases is entirely unsound. Ignorance prompts the speaker, who says with regard to children and cer- tain communicable diseases: “they must have it, so the sooner it is over, the better." ‘ on this éradrer ME}:- it so mutch yunger then me.
