r tK 8- THE PTTTSBtTRG DISPATCH,- SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 20; k 1892L" ... 4 V BAKER WANTS HELP. Kew laws Are Needed to Trotect Pittsburg's Health. A THANKSGIVING SACRIFICE B' K VA THE 10CAL BOARD IS INTERESTED. IW fllplitherla and Scarlet Ferer May Be Cared for bj State Acts. W! TI NEWEST HOUSES TO BE LOOKED AFTEE - s, Superintendent Baker wnti ome new lawi for the better protection of the health tr Pittiburg. At the coming seision ot the legislature he will try to get one bill be fore that body. The diseases he wishes to cope with are diphtheria and scarlet fever. He would also like to hare a tenement bouse act. "I am coing to write 10 Secretary Lee, of the SlateBoard of Health," said Mr. Baker yesterday, "and try to get him interested in new legislation. Diphtheria and scarlet ferer are two of the most malignant dis eases we haTe to cope with, and at the pres ent time we cannot keep pace with their spread. We have a system of caring for smallpox, which has proven itself very effective. It is now nearly two weeks since a case of smallpax has existed within the city. Law aids us in khat As soon as a case appears we placard the house and put policemen on guard night and day. No one is allowed to enter or leave the bouse. Their Prompt Action. "The victim is at once removed to the pest house, and the bed clothes, bed and all the effects of the sickroom are burned. Diph theria and scarlet lever are just as bad, but we are not allowed to do anything but dis infect the house. To my mind tney glioma be treated the same as smallpox. "Day alter day children die with these two diseases. The same publicity is given to these deaths as to that of a man who dies of old age. The body is kept olten three davs after death. Children are allowed to view the remains and in most instances young folks act as pallbearers. This scat ters the disease in every direction. The physicians are noticing this and daily I re ceive complaints about this practice. I ieel ale in saying that the majority of the doctors in Pittbure are with me in this move. I want a law that would send victims to a pesthouse and if they died the funeral would be as promptly alter death as possible and none but the closest relatives should be allowed to attend. I think Dr. Lee is sufficiently interested in this to get the matter before the Legislature. Another Glaring Evil. 'Tenement houses are another menace to the city's health. Landlords are allowed to rent all sorts of places to people in this city. Hundreds of persons are living in hovels I -would not allow anv beast to stay ib, and are paying $5 and (6 a month rent. Many of these places are underground and daylight never reaches them. The air is foul and thick. I have often gone into one of these places and found a man sick with a contagious disease and in the same room five or six other people would be sleeping. There is not a letter in the State statutes which will aid ns in this direction. "I am considering asking the city Coun cils to help me. I want three wards built on the city property on Bedford street for diphtheria, scarlet fever and erysipelas. All three are diMases whio none of the city hospitals will take charge of. Now when we have a case where the victim has no , home there is great trouble in getting any one to'take charge of it. The city has four acres Of land in this plot, and, although the pesthouse is on it, there is plenty of room to build the other three houses, and all could be isolated."
