The Seneca County Commit tee on Tuberculosis and Public Health met at the Court House at Waterloo on Tuesday after noon. Following the business meeting, the following report was submitted by Agatha H, Drumm, Supervising Nurse of Seneca county : “ The July 1st records show re garding tuberculosis th a t there were 54 positives and 61 suspects. Three days early in J u ly were g iven over to a c h e st clinic, the State D e p a rtinext of H e a lth cooperating and sending. |_heir u n it here at th a t tim e. The re sult of this clinic together with cases reported bring the num b er September 1st to 56 positives and 74 suspects. One case moved away directly after being reported, two were placed in sanatorium s, one was readm itted. Three applications were pending on Septem b e r ist. T h e y have been tak en care of since that date. One case ' reported as a suspect in A u g u s t was. diagnosed positive and a week later^ was a d m itted to Raybrook. Fifty-eight calls were made to POS7 itive cases, eight to suspects andi fourteen to contacts, totaling eighty calls in the tuberculosis work. . I have worked out a schedule whicl|' ^ i a l schools at W aterloo and at ^ n e c a Falls, and in the schools in m e southern part of the county with- a school nurse, as well as the ru- 'taT schools. 'F iv e M o thers’ H e a lth Clubs are be ing organized throughout the county, ja speaker from Albany coming every other week from the State Depart m ent of H ealth to conduct these in teresting talks. fTn conjunction w ith the Rotary 0 ub of Seneca Falls and. the State /departm e n t of H e a lth, we are estab- '^ishing an Orthopedic Clinic in Sen eca Falls, Dr. Reed of the State De partm e n t to come a t periods of three :to four m o n ths for c o n sultation work. He was w ith us last week at the Seneca Falls H o spital and eighteen patients were examined. I have per sonally made tw e n ty orthopedic Calls, s ix to Rotary members and one to the Red Cross in the interest of ^ e s e cases. One child was taken to l^yracuse to a sp e c ialist early in A u g u s t and two to the clinic at Auburn. trhe R o tarians have financed treat m e n t in Several cases. Two children are coming in to Children’s Court un der the new Educational Law th a t their physical defects m ay be taken Two T o m p k ins cou n ty children placed in a boarding hom e in our Cpunty were taken to Ithaca for ton- •gil adenoid operations early in A u g ust. This was financed by Tom pkins ; c o u n ty. ; i. A n y generalized program for Pub- [i Llic H e a lth m u st include school work. ' Seneca c o u n ty has between seventy P j 'k n d eighty rural schools, so after a 11 conference w ith the d istrict superio- schools, certain schools three to four months, and contacts every s ix m o n ths. I have endeavor ed to establish a c linic tim e and de finite period in each year when the physicians of the c o u n ty m ay know th a t they can depend on this clinic service. The State U n it is coming here for four o r five days beginning Novem ber lo th . I have m ade application for their r e turn again in May. All cases in sanitorium s are doing well. One will be discharged the last of the m o n th. We h ave two pa tients in Sunnycrest, Auburn, three at the S tate H o spital for Incipient Tuberculosis at Raybrook, eight at O a k m o u n t, Ontario county, and one at Taughannock Falls, Tom p k ins county. Our children have been discharged from the Preventorium at Canandai gua and are doing well. . One is in a special boarding home and one is w ith her own family. A t the tim e of our last m eeting it was voted to hold the Child H e a lth Consultation Clinic th is fall. Application was made through the Seneca County Medical Society and funds were granted us under the Shepherd-Towner bill to carry on the work. The week of October 17th has beeu set aside for the.se clinics. Four cli nics will be held in the following places: Interlaken, Ovid, W aterloo and Seneca Falls. The exact tim e and date w ill be announced later. These clinics are w h a t are know n as Type C—O u r local doctors are ap pointed by the Medical Society to act as e x am iners. Members of the Perent-Teachers’ Association and in terested persons are w o rking up the cases, w ith my assistance. W ith this m ethod we are gaining two points. W e are doing a good piece of Public H e a lth work for the much neglected pre-school child and are giving the m others definite responsibility in our health program . I have made five' pre-natal calls and tw e n ty pre-school Dr. Sears of the State D epartm ent of H e a lth called on us last week and has s tarted a campaign for Toxin A n ti-Toxin both in the towns and rural districts throughout the county. It is the child under ten from w h ic h diphtheria takes its greatest toll. In this cam p aign we need to lay stress ii'’HI6usahd^ ihtd which td^cirry n nursing program. In this work it is our chief aim to cooperate with the medical inspector and to aid him in every way possible. To be able to demonstrate to the people the impor tance of school nursing and to assist the handicapped child with his phy sical and mental infirmities and help him to become a normal individual. Supervision of the health and hab its of the school child cannot long be neglected if we hope to grow and to br of service to our people. Plans have been made for our fair exhibit. I would recom mend to you th a t a publicity comm ittee be appointed to arouse interest in our activities thru the local press. Our program being purely educational and preventative work, i t is absolutely dependent on public sentim e n t for its funds to car ry on, the Christm a s Seal Campaign being our only source of income. I would like to know the disposi tion of the Committee in regard to a poster c o n te st I would like to hold in the public schools in th e early win ter. ’ ’ SURROGATFS COURT.
