ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
Our total of the reportable diseases reported to this office for the year 1929 was ten hundred and forty- six cases, against seventeen hundred and forty cases for 1928. There should be no significance attached to this however, the reason being due almost entirely to the lesser number of cases of Measles reported in 1929 than 1928.
That the popularity of the immunizing treatment for the prevention of Diphtheria is making tremendous strides among thinking parents throughout the coun- try is clearly shown by the ever increasing number of children that present themselves at the clinics with each succeeding year. The past year we have held two such clinics where we administered the full course of treatment to nine hundred and eighty-seven children. This is more than double the number we have ever treated in any single year heretofore, and indicates plainly that the time has very nearly arrived when the work of the clinics must be devoted wholly to those children of parents who are unable to pay, leaving all others to seek the service from the family physician.
Following our usual custom we shall take the re- ports of the major diseases for 1929, and make com- parisons with the same diseases reported for 1928.
Diphtheria
Eighteen cases of this disease were reported the past year against fifteen cases for 1928. In connection with this we would call attention to the fact, that of the eighteen cases reported this year, not one of these had ever received the full course of the immunizing treatment against the disease.
Influenza
One hundred and forty cases of this disease were reported for 1929 against nine cases for 1928. Owing
