MOTHER SHOULD CALL DOCTOR i I Old Law to Be Enforced That Will Secure Proper Treatment For New-Born Infants and Save LCS3 of Eyesight. To guard new-born infants against that terrible misfortune, blindness, State Health Commissioner Dixon has revived a state law passed some years ago for just this object, but never en forced to any extent. This law, passed June 2G, 1895, is entitled "An act for the prevention of blindness, imposing a duty upon all midwives, nurses or other persons having the care of in fants. and also upon the health officer, and fixing a penalty for neglect there of." Dr. Dixon declared today "that if the provisions of this law arc carried out there is reason to hope that one-third of the cases of blindness which so greatly diminishes the productive value of the individual and too often renders him a burden on society may be prevented." Letter to Physicians. To ten thousand physicians through out Pennsylvania Health Commission er Dixon is sending the following let ter: "You are probably aware of the fact that the American Medical association at its last annual meeting authorized the issue of the report of the commit tee on ophthalmia neonatorum, which ' forcibly called attention to the fact that a very large percentage of the I cases of blindness which the state is ! called upon to support is caused by j that disease, and urged the necessity j for organized and concerted effort on J the part of the profession in all of the ! states of the Union to diminish this | evil. That this appeal is most timely is j sufficiently indicated by a recent re j port from the Pennsylvania School for j the Blind, which shows that in the j past eight yeai-3 more than one-third | of the persons admitted to that insti ! tution have owed their affliction to i this cause. j "This department has. therefore. ; thought it desirable to revive a law | which has for many years lain dor ! mant on our statute books, and a copy j of which is herewith enclosed. "Inasmuch, however, as I doubt the ; wisdom of entrusting the treatment of I so delicate an organ as the eye to un skilled hands. I have appended to the ; iaw instructions making it the duty of the health officer to urge those in | charge to secure the services of a phy sician at the earliest possible moment after the discovery of the disease, and have suggested a harmless cleansing solution to be used until such time as j the physician could arrive and Initiate the active treatment for which the nitrate of stiver or some other silver 1 salt will probably be deemed most ef fective. May 1 hope for your assist | ance in carrying out this plan for di minishing a fertile cause of misery and disability?" Instructions to Health Officers. Tlu department, of health has ■ sent to each of its 7110 township health j officers full instructions as to their duty under the law. These instructions are as follows: "In order to carry out the provisions of the above law it becomes your duty to acquaint yourself with the names and addresses of all midwives and nurses residing or practicing in your district, and to plpce a copy of the law in the hands of each, instructing her as to its requirements. "Immediately on receiving notifica tion from a midwife or nurse of the occurrence of a ease of red or swollen eyes in a young infant you will inform the attending physician of the fact, and will place in the hands of the mid wife or nurse (lie accompanying in structions, explain! :g that she is to follow thein only until a physician ar rives to take charge of the case If no physician has been employed, you will urge upon the family the necessity for obtaining one, as otherwise the child may become permanently blind." Here is the proscription given for treating inflamed eyes in new-born in fants until the physician arrives: "To one pint of boiled water add two teaspoor.t'uls of boric acid and half 0 teaspoonl'ul of table salt and keep cov ered in a jar which has been boiled With a perfectly clean cloth or a wad of absorbent cotton bathe the lids with this solution and drop a few drops in the eye three times a day." State Health Commissioner Dixon has also requested the department's medical inspector in every county in the state to assist the health officers in the discharge of the duty assigned them. A letter has also been written to the secretary of every city, borough ! and first class township board of health in Pennsylvania, calling their attention to the law and urging that these boards adopt such measures as will lead to its early enforcement In the municipality under the local I board's jurisdiction. The wording of the act of June 26. 1R95. is as follows: T!-.c Law. "Wherrpv stafi.;firs compiled in this | country and liurope demonstrate thai ; fully 25 pet centum of the blind owe fßelr aCITcITon To an InTTaiffiriafTon o the conjunctive appearing a few days after birth; and "Whereas. Experience has proved that the inflammation can be cured and the eyesight saved in the majority j of cases if treatment ba instituted at | an early state of the disease; and "Whereas, Destruction of the eyes j and blindness are usually the result ol I delay of treatment | "Section 1. Be it enacted, etc. That should one or both eyes of an infant I become inflamed or swollen or red j dened at any time within two weeks after birth, it shall be the duty of the midwife or nurse, or other person hav ing the care of such infant, to report in writing, within six hours after thu discovery thereof, to the health officer or legally qualified practitioner of the city, town or district in which tho mother of the child resides, the fact that such inflammation or swelling or redness exists. "Section 2. That it shall be the duty j of said health officer, immediately upon receipt of said written report, to | notify the parents or the person hav ing charge of said infant of the danger to the eye or eyes of said infant by ' reason of said condition from neglect of proper treatment of the same, and j he shall also enclose • o them diree j tlons for the prop rti ment thereof. "Section 3. ' heakh officer shall ' rnish a copy 1 this act to each per son who is l:*>own.to him to act as midwife or nur " in the city or town for which such health officer is ap pointed.and the secretary of state shall cause a sufficient number of copies of this act to be printed and supply the same to such health officers on application. "Section 4. Any failure to comply with the provisions of this act shall be punishable by fine not to exceed S2OO. or imprisonment not to exceed thirty days, or both." I See 1 HOCK !
