SECRETS OF
HEALTH
Ry DE-. g. "a. e. Reed

TlHE wet, cold summer tends to
reduce the usual occurrence
OF dfarrhoea A WARM autumn
after bad summer. however
often brings more cases than
fine summer itself. and the illness
is apt to last longer.
The disease il much more com
mon in towns than in the country.
Health authorities have remarked
that nearly all the cases occur in
dirty houses where mothers failed
to keep the food covered. gave
babies dummies sugar teats.
etc.--to suck and went in for un-
suitable and irregular feeding.
They found also that babies who
are given castor oil and teething
powders too often. or too large
doses of cod liver oil. are more
liable to summer diarrhoea.
The cause OF summer diarrhoea
is probably a microbe, but none
has ever been actually identified.
One medical officer OF health in
England came to the conclusion
In 1925. that diarrhoea was a re-
suit of ,untreated. thrush, and 1t
often goes with cows milk and
dried milk feeding. One of the
chief causes Is over-heating.

gestion. together with contain
mated food and overlooking. Chill
dren often cry with thirst in hot
weather and should be given
water. To give them milk under
these circumstances is to over
feed.
Actually they require less food In
: hot weather than in cold. In the
attack itself frequent water is
essential to prevent the system
! drying up. This lack of water
itself may kali the child before the
feverish and poisoned stage Is
reached at all.
To reduce summer diarrhoea the
first requirement is to educate
mothers. 1t is pity that welfare
clinics should ever close in Au-
gust, when the disease is most
prevalent. Many mothers go
there only because their children
get diarrhoea.
The recent decline in summer
diarrhoea in crowded cities is due.
some say. to the disappearance of
horses from the street and the
consequent comparative absence
horses from the streets and the
consequent comparative absence of
manure from which the disease
may be conveyed by flies.

this is true, but the medical Off
Ger of health for Halifax, and in
certain American cities, enforce
the health ordinances which COM
pel stable owners to remove their
manure heaps every week. some
have adopted the policy or pros

bored fly larvae.
Particular attention Is now be-
ing paid to small collections or
manure behind downspouts and ir
small crevices in brickwork, which
NAV be overlooked in perfume
tory cleaning. In instances IN
which this policy has been
adopted, although the summer
was a hot one, there was no In
crease in the diarrhoea ratio.
The Longitude feeding bottle has
also been accused OF breeding
the germs of this complaint. but
