MEDICAL OFFICER’S REPORT.

Quauteuly llErOKT.


• • • July 1st to September aoth, ISPl. Yorksliirc. Division, Clithoroc Rural.


To the Chairman and Gentlemen of the Authority. Gentlemen—During the quarter, there have been


four cases of scarlet fever, one was at Horton Hall, of a mild type, and completely isolated. The other eases occurred,at Gisburn, two of which died, one


.I should consider a case of suppressed scarlet fever Of a malignant type. In this ease there had been no medical attendance until the Last hour or two before the child’s death, and the people actedO.uitc ignor.antly. I find it to he most difllcult to get the people to


^


carryout the meaning of the onlor, so far as iso­ lation is'conccnicd, and mind, this is the only sure remedy..- They seem to think that they arc being cruelly treated, and robbed of their liberty, as it iverc. The two cases at Gisburu are a strong proof of


the power of infection. There was a ease of scar­ latina .at Clithoroo. Tlic relatives from Gisbtirn visited, and no doubt, as they tliought, cxerci.«cd exery care. A'ct, .after a month or two, most surely and fatally were their childr.'n stricken down. . Now all this proves that if infection is to be


stopped, the sick child should bo absolutely isolated for quite six weeks after tho appeiiranee of the rash.


,


■/ The houses where tho fatal cases occurred were disinfected and fumigated by a practical man, and


some of the woollen clothing destroyed. A case of enteric fever occurred at llasglll,


Kasington, wliich proved fatal; every means of disinfection was advised. Tliere have been eighteen deaths in tho whole of


the district. This gives a death-rate of lilT per 1,000 per annum. Eight were registered at Gislmrii, two at Slaidlmrn, and eight in the Clithcroe sub- di.striet. Five of -these de.aths were from chc.st affection, four being in subjects of over sixty years of ago, and two were after infineiizn. Twenty-fii’e children were born in the di.strict,


ten boys and 1.^ girl.s. 1-t wort regi.stero'd at Gishiirn, nine at Slaidbiirn, and two in tho Clithcroc sub-district, 'riiis gives .a birth-rate of 18-8 ])or 1000 per annum. I have no report of nuisance. There is no


further spread of scarlatina, and I consider there is very little sickness in the district generally. Subjoined arc the usual tables. Yours obcdienllv, JOSE1.MI .T. SAIITHIES. October oth, 1801.


After having road the report, Dr. Smithies said


lie wishcil particularly to point out the ditlleulty of getting jieojile to isolate the eases, and the importance of sucli .a course. The passing of tlio accounts concluded tho


business.

THE IMPROYEMENT •


. PASTURE , LAND. LECTURE EY Dk WEEK.


The locluiv arrangeil-to bo given m the Town


(Moarley Hnli), AY. Rawlm.son (Pendleton HnU), M. J.).awsoii (Bushnll Hall^, 11. Parkinson, J. Kor-, crojis, Holme,“etc. The CiiAiiLMAK, haying brie/ly explained that


sion on wbicli ho addrcs.sed tlicm was the laying down of periiiammt pasture. He had commenced at the beginning, for if anyone did not understand the various grasses, I'cc , they could not expect to properly nndorstand the pasture itself. It was very necessary to know the best mixture of grass seeds, and also most important to know how to buy seeds, ns in seeds and manures much money had been taken out of the pockets of the British far­ mers. Jlc would eunimencc with the general maimgcment of pastures. This would be principally in theory. Jn an extract from a book of his which was then in the press, he enumerated a number of circumstances that effect the general quality of the pasture, stating . amongst other things, that pastures should nut bo grazed too closely. The plant required to feed botli from root and leaf, and if grazed too closely tlie leaf was entirely removed and the plant weakened. A few hints as to the best methods of getting lid of weeds concluded the e.xtraet. A great deal of good might be done to pastures


if by the various manures if the way were prepared for them by a; systematic scliciiie of drainage^ This was the basis of all improvement of pasture land. Its object, of course, uas to get rid of the surplus waler'in tlie soil. It was not so much to get the water out of the land as to get the water tliroiigh the land,1iml to cause the stagnant water to sink. Wliurever water could he made to go, air woubl certuiiily follow it, rund thus, if tho water could be made to sink, the air would go down into the soil, and this was what was required. WJieii water, remained upon the siirfacu of the land a


large amount of tlic sun's heat was wasted, because it was expemlid to evaporate the water instead of to warm tho land. It might be put in another form and stated that the object of drainage was to get the water table below the surface of tho land. The water table was the height to which w.ater would rise by capillary atlniction. This was the force that made water rise *in a tube. If • the end • of a glass lube . were idaeod in tho water, it would be scon that the water inside tho tube with at a iiigher level than the water oiUside. TJie smuiler the tube the Iilghcr tlie water would rise. All soils wore more or less porous, a-.id the water rose through the pores to different lieiglits according to the nature of the soil, ill sandy soils capillary attraction would raise the water 20 indies. In clay, -10 inches. In jieat, (iu. inches. Drainage was to prevent llie water rising to within a few inches of the suiface. If lliobe tup few inches were kept dry, tliey would form a kind of warm blanket on the land." J5ut if kept wet, they prevented the lower strata becoming warmed. I f the air were permitted to pass throngli the soil, the oxygen ill it would unite with certain


elements in the soil, and llie desired result of de­ composition would bo attained.'^ If air were e.K- cluded, deeomposUion could not take place, the land would be soured, and even the tinvour aa wcU as the (iuality of the grass would be affected, and eatiie fed on it wouhl pot thrive so well.


Drainage also brought aboqt a disappearaneo of diseases. ^Tho lecturer here gave a lengthy depeription of the hanii done by one .source of


dii-eus’J which could only e.^ist on damp land. Ho (hen proceedpa to point out that different kinds of jfoil required different methods of drainage, A great (leal of land would inunedlately double its value if drained. Drainage was almost about the only thing in ngrienlluro for whicli the Government would advance money, i t was very important, too, to have the drains sufiieiontly near each other, as they would then help each other and do their work more thoroughly. The full effect of drainagb was not felt until tlie drains had commenced llms to act one upon anotlier. The next important way in whicli pasture land could he improved was by means of inaimros. In deciding what manure to apply they would have take into consideration what they took off the land, and then replace that loss in the manure. Part of the lo.ss would bo replaced by the soil itself, and drained soil would


■ do this much better than undr.ained. Tl\e best way to manure the land was to use artificial feefilng stuffs. Artificial nu^mqx's cqn\e next, anfi a great de.ql of money youlil b,e save(l by the use of p.itUer- A question' w.as liere handeil up to. (fie iecturor-,
