HEALTH OFFICERS ANNOUNCES
DISEASE VARIES IN DIFFERENT

GO HEALTH CONFERENCE.

Many Ottawans have considered
taking serum inoculations for the pre-
vention of influenza and are interest
ed in knowing just whether it is Ell
fective as a preventative or not, the
city health officer, DR.. w. A. Pike,
has Just returned home after spending
several days at the health conference
in Chicago, and today issued the fol
lowing statement regarding the vac
cine treatment:
Many inquiries are being made rela-
tive to the value Of vaccines and ser
ms to be used for the prevention and
treatment of influenza. In this regard
| wish to state that attended the
meeting of the American Public
Health Association held last week in
Chicago at which time there were
gathered together health authorities
liOIli ali pui 10 vi tut OHItttu DJdlto
and Canada. Reports there presented
showed that the type of the disease
differed in different localities and a
vaccine in order to be of value must
necessarily be adapted to the type of
the disease prevalent in the commun.
ity in which it is to be used This of
course can only be determined by bac.
THEOLOGICAL analysis,
The same holds true with regard
to serum to be used for treatment
Serums are made from the blood OF
convalescent patients.
Cases must be typed Individually
and the serum to be of value, must
be made from the blood of patients
cOnvalescent from the same type OF
the disease as that from which the
patient is suffering.
The public must understand that
as yet the matter of yaccines and ser
ums is still in the experimental stage
and that the results SO far reported
following their use, are so conflicting
that their indiscriminate use is to be
deplored.
