Enforce the Contagious Diseases Acti

Enforce the Contagious Diseases Acti
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Judging by an item in yesterdays STAR, and
by the history of similar efforts in other cities,
the health department may meet with consid-
cradle opposition in attempting to enforce the
provisions Of the new contagious diseases act.
The Law should be enforced from the start
strictly and impsrtially. II the health officials
do their duty public sentiment will soon be in
their favo- and then the battle will be over.
The value of strict quarantine and subsequent
disinfection in cases Of scarlet feve- and diph-
iberia cannot be disputed. Michigan affords a
striking example. For some years the state
board OF health has been at great pains to dis
seminate proper information concerning CON-
municable diseases and to urge upon the local
health oficers-about 1,400-the necessity of
enforcing the state law requiring quarantine
and disinfection In cases of small pox. diph-
liberia and scarlet fever As a resul. the law
has been strictly enforced in great many To-
calities. but by no means in all While this has
been going on records have been accommodating,
which now show Il quote from memory that
in outbreaks OF diphtheria where no sanitary
precautions were taken the average number Of
cases was thirteen. while in outbreaks where
there was strict quarantine with subsequent
careful disinfection the average number Of
cases was only three. Very often efficient
health officers have succeeded in limiting an
outbreak to the first case. The importance of
this is more apparent when we reflect that in
diphtheria, taking one year with another, the
ratio Of deaths to cases is about as one to FIVE.
What has been done in Michigan can be done
in Washington, and it is the duty Of every good
citizen to aid the health department in enforc-
ing the law, and II more officers are necessary
it is the duty of somebody to see that they are
provided.
common error and one which seems to find
expression In the item mentioned is that mild
cases Of diphtheria are not dangerous. The
fact IL mild cases sometimes give rise to very
malignant ones and there is no telling before
hand. The only safe way is to rigidly quaran-
tine and thoroughly disinfect in every case,
giving the public the benefit of the doubt
when there is any. Quarantine and disinfec-
ton are personal inconvenience. No one I'M
derstands this better than the writer. Yet in
all such cases the public good not only amply
justifes, but absolutely requires the limitation
Of individual preference. SIaMA
