Morbidity Reports.

80. In some diseases morbidity re-
ports make it possible to see that the
sick receive proper treatment, as in
ophthalmia neonatorum, diphtherla
and, in certain cities. tuberculosis. The
reporting of cases OF ophthalmia in
the newborn makes it possible 10 save
the sight of some infants who would
otherwise not receive adequate treat
ment until after much damage had
been done. in d:phthera the health
department can be OF service in fur-

tiVes who would otherwise be without
proper treatment.

The part played in public health ad
by the reports of cases OF

morbidity reports show the occurrence
of cases which constitute foci from
which the disease may spread to others,
as in scarlet fever. typhoid fever, tu-
berculosis, or yellow fever, and make
it possible to find the previously un-
recognized cases and to take proper
precautions to protect the family OF
