Dangerous Erisypelas Appears Most Frequently During Winter Months

ous conditions caused by strepto- cocci Is erysipelas. It used to be called "St. Anthony's Fire"--a fine descriptive term for the acute, bril- liant red inflammation of the skin that distinguishes erysipelas.
 Erysipelas may appear anywhere on the body, although certain parts are more likely to be affected than others. If parts of persons body have been frozen, the tissues may be 50 damaged that erysipelas will appear secondarily. Accident in- juries not infrequently lead to erysipelas. A condition known to the ancient Greeks and Romans, this disease apparently has attacked human beings regularly since the earliest times.
 Erysipelas occurs most often dur ing the months from October to March rather than in the summer time, and reaches it's highest fre- quency in March.
 The disease is not so common in children as 1t is in persons between the ages of 20 to 60.
 Men have erysipelas more often than do women because of the na- ture of their occupations, and be- cause they are exposed more fre- quently to physical injuries and bad weather conditions in the winter months.
 Before the nation of infection was understood, there were great epi- denies of erysipelas in hospitals. The infection would be carried from one person to another by careless attendants.
 Nowadays the great danger of erysipelas Is recognized. and any person who has this disease is promptly put Into q room by him. self and is assigned an individual nurse or attendant who takes care VI ttf3sA AiVfSCg hVa NNFgS EoEn ttLat other people until the condition H under control.
 People living at home should, of course. emulate this practice. If anyone in the family has erykipeias, one person only sll0uld be selected to take care of him. Since the dis" eaRe s spread by contamination Of the hands Of the attendant. his hands should be thoroughly washed with soap and water and. perhaps. antls0ptle solution. each time that he leaves the patient.
 Arrangements mutt he made, moreover, @ prevent excreti0Fss from the inflammation of infected aFea from coming into e0nlaet with any material that might he used by fameene cts.

Women's Clubs Start Survey

Now, at last, though 1t would seem that we have tarried unforgiveably long, the public conscience has walk ened. The General Federation of Women's Clubs, more than 2,000, GOO In membership, has chosen as a 1887 objective an investigation of the availability of prenatal health ser- vice in communities 1t serves, to- gether with study of the bearing of economic conditions in the local- ity on maternity health and death rates. The Social Security Act of 1885 authorizes an appropriation of $500, ,000 as a federal grant for as- sisting states in maternity con- servation program.
 The maternity mortality rate of the United States is the second low- est in the civilized world. Were 1t not so, we might suggest to the countries which desire to breed babies like so many white rabbits, that they look first to the prolonga- ton of the lives of ild-bearing women and the assurance of life for those infants who are about to be born. Otherwise, mere productivity avails nothing. How can 1t, when a mortality rate exceeds e birth rate as 1t does in some lands2
