KEEPING DOWN CONTAGIOUS
DISEASES.

THAT hospital is the best means Of controlling
contagious diseases such as whooping cough. scar.
let fever and diphtheria and avoiding epidemics
Is now the opinion Of many noted physicians and health
officers Boston has recently proven this.
Such hospitals are not to be thought of in the light
Of pest houses.
Dr. j. Wilson, director of the bureau Of hospitals
New York City speaking Of the hospital plan of
trolling contagious diseases, says:
Every community should have, what I believe
every community now negects, hospital accommo.
dations enough to care for all non.quarantinable
cases OF contagious diseases. Without this hospital
control Is inadequate to prevent epdemics; with 1t
and power to act there would never be an epidemic
I'm q community in the accepted definition of the
term, for as fast as cases developed they would DO

would be confined to the four walls of the hospital"
