A CASE of SCAHLET FEVER being reported as having occurred in the Borough, the attention of the inhabitants is earnwtly requeued,to the SUGGESTIONS below, furnished by the Besident Medical Gentlemen, in the hope tbat if the suggestions are attended to the danger may in a measure beabated* ,--<, ,• -■•■ ,■ :• ■■■;■■ ■'• ■ •;-Mayor* ' December 21,1875. ; Tn the probable prospect of an epidemic of Scarlatina occurring at the Thames, the Medical Profession would desire to impress upon the inhabitants, and more especially upon Parents and Guardians, the necessity of CLEANLINESS, in person and. premises. Sleeping rooms should be washed with a solution of Chloride of Lime; free ventilation should be .established in dwelling houses, and all privies and cesspools ought to be deodorised with the same .disinfectant. In all cases where sore throat and rash should affect any member of a household it will be the duty of the parents to call ma medical man as soon as possible, and in tbe meantime to separate the patient as far as can be from the rest of the family ; use a gargle <sf chlorate of potash for the throat (15 grains to the ounce), and often sponging the body of the patient with tepid water, put him or her to bed. Chloride of lime in solution ought to be at once used; for washing the: bedrooms, from which all excreta should be immediately removed; It will be of great importance to attend strictly to the suggestions of the medical man. ..- , • The medical profession at the Thames desire to impresi upon the inhabitants generally the great advantage of complete isolation in all cases of contagious disorder, and this they hope they may be capable of accomplishing, in all caaes where there is no objection to such a course, by tbe establishment of a Special Hospital for the reception of patients affected with Scarlatina. It is impoisible to say how many lives might be saved, and how much suffering averted by the timely isolation of a person affected with this disorder 5 indeed it is not too much to aver that complete isolation of the first cases would go fa* to atop the further progress of the epidemic.
