CITY OF QUINCY
JANUARY 1, 1939.
DR .. RICHARD M. ASH Health Commissioner.
Dear Dr. Ash :- "Tuberculosis Statistics for 1938"
During 1938, for the first time, there was a decrease in the number of new cases of Pulmonary Tuberculosis reported. This may be explained, either on the basis that we have finally reached our peak in our fight against the white plague, or it may be a natural reward for the intensive efforts for the early hospitaliza- tion of all active cases. In either case it is good news and we hope it will continue.
The present regime, of having two cars for the Dispensary Nurses, will pay dividends in the control of Tuberculosis. Many more cases will be discovered, more contacts can be brought to the Dispensary for early examination and diagnosis, and proper dis- position can be made, so that the spread of the disease will be checked. Also more post sanatoria visits for the ex-san cases will be made, and a better follow-up of those cases will result.
In the past this work was unsatisfactory, simply because two nurses having only one car, did not have sufficient time at their disposal for a thorough follow-up of these cases.
Last year's State Survey, removed some one hundred and forty cases from the active files and thus more time could be given to the remaining active cases. The more time you have, the more per- suasion you can give to those cases needing collapse therapy and early hospitalization, and thus quickly render the sputum negative and saving all contacts from contagion. This in turn means a dis- tinct gain in the control of Tuberculosis.
"The Children's Clinic"
The City of Quincy stands very high in the fight against Tuber-' culosis, and I believe, our success centers in our Children's Clinic. This clinic is fundamentally educational and all control of Tuber- culosis is based on education. In this clinic we find the primary or glandular type of disease. This type, though not contagious, may become active and contagious if not treated. Hence, we cannot only prevent the activity of these cases but through investigation in their homes, we will probably find the active cases that really in- fected these children. Thus we have a two way attack, in one we prevent infective cases from becoming diseased or contagious cases, also discover active cases, and hospitalize them. So we pro- tect the community from the spread of Tuberculosis and this briefly means the control of Tuberculosis.
