REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON SICK, HOSPITAL, AND SANITARY MEASURES. [From the General Report of the Society.] PRINTED FOR THE CHICAGO RELIEF AND AID SOCIETY, %t tf)c ftitocc^itic 1874. SICK, SANITARY, AND HOSPITAL MEASURES. IMMEDIATELY after the lire, the Board of Health be- gan to gather the sick and injured who could not find refuge in private families, into churches and school-houses where they were tenderly cared for by physicians and citi- zens, who very generally tendered their services. In order that there might be as little delay as possible, the san- itary policemen were authorized by the Mayor to im- press teams for the transportation of the sick from the prairies and vacant lots whither they had been driven by the flames. At the headquarters of the Citizen’s Com- mittee, corner of West Washington and Ann streets, Drs. Rauch and Johnson, of the Board of Health, and Dr. J. E. Gilman of the Citizen’s Committee were constantly engaged in assigning physicians and providing medicines and stores for the churches and other buildings used as temporary hospitals. When the Relief and Aid Society took charge of the General Relief work in accordance with the proclamation of the Mayor, it assigned to Dr. H. A. Johnson the spe- cial duty of organizing and directing this with authority to associate with himself such members of the medical profession as he should think best. The following gentlemen comprised the Committee as finally constituted : Dr. H. A. Johnson, chairman, and Drs. B. McVickar, R. Ludlam, M. J. Asclie, J. H. Rauch, M. Manheimer, Ernst Schmidt, B. C. Miller, and Rev. H. N. Powers. Dr. J. E. Gilman was appointed secretary. 4 CHICAGO RELIEF AND AID SOCIETY. For several weeks the committee held daily meetings, and weekly meetings were held during the entire win- ter. VISITATION. The city was divided into districts and sub-districts, with the same boundaries and the same offices as those of the Superintendents of Distribution. To each of these divisions a Medical Superintendent and a sufficient number of visiting physicians were ap- pointed. Their duties were defined in the following cir- cular : — TO MEDICAL OFFICERS. First. Eacli visiting physician will establish an office in connection with the depot of distribution in his district. Second. He will, at a specified hour, morning and evening, visit the office and answer such calls as may be left by the Superintendent of Distribution, the visitors, and the Medical Superintendent of the district. Third. He will supply himself with a case and medicines for the use of those only who are the proper subjects of relief by this Society. Fourth. He will affix to each prescription that he may send to the dispensing chemist, his signature, with a statement that this prescription is on account of the Chicago Relief and Aid Society. Fifth. He will especially examine into the sanitary condition of his district, the quantity and quality of food, clothing, dwellings, etc., and all matters having a bearing upon public or private health. Sixth. He will report daily to the Medical Superintendent of his dis- trict, the name, age, sex, and nativity of each patient, with the name of the disease, result of treatment, number of visits to each patient, and such other information as the Medical Superintendent may, from time to time, require. Seventh. Each Medical Superintendent will have the immediate di- rection of the medical service and sanitary interest of his district, and will be held responsible for the faithful performance of this work. He Avill assign visiting physicians to sub-districts, and require of them daily reports of their work. These reports he will condense and present weekly to the Committee. He will admit patients to hospital, and in cases of emergency, visit patients at their homes. SICK, SANITARY, AND HOSPITAL MEASURES. 5 The General Superintendent directed visitors to report all cases coming to their knowledge requiring medical attendance, and the person in charge of each office had such reports at all times in readiness for the medical offi- cer of the district, when he called. All possible aid was given the medical officer of the district, and he was al- lowed free access to the office and books of the Society at all times. MEDICAL DISPENSARIES. In addition to this provision for the visitation of the sick at their homes, dispensaries were established at con- venient points, where such patients as were able to ap- ply in person for advice were treated, and where medi- cines were dispensed upon the prescriptions of any phy- sician certifying that his services in the case were gratu- itous. In the North Division of the city there was only one of these institutions; in the West Division there were three, and in the South Division two. Medicines were also dispensed, and out-patients treated at all of the hos- pitals. The physicians to these dispensaries were men of ap- proved character and professional standing. HOSPITALS. For the relief of such patients as could not safely be treated in their homes or quarters, and who could not ap- ply at a dispensary, hospital accommodations were pro- vided. Fortunately the principal hospitals of the city were in the unburned district. Arrangements were made with all these institutions by which patients were received on account of this Society, without charge for medical and surgical attendance, nursing and general care; the Society furnishing only medicines, rations, and 6 CHICAGO RELIEF AND AID SOCIETY. furniture for such relief patients as were received on its account. These hospitals were as follows : — The Providence Hospital, located just bejmnd the northern limits of the city. The Women’s and Children’s Hospital, formerly located on North State Street, but after the lire at No. 598 West Adams Street. This was mainly a lying-in-hospital. The Chicago Eye and Ear Infirmary, under the care of Dr. E. L. Holmes, before the fire on Pierson Street in the North Division, now at 579 West Adams Street. St. Luke’s Hospital, on Indiana Avenue between Fourteenth and Sixteenth streets. The Hahnemann Hospital, on Cottage Grove Avenue near Twenty-ninth Street. Mercy Hospital, corner of Cal- umet Avenue and Twenty-sixth Street, and the County Hospital, on Arnold Street, near Eighteenth Street. In addition to these accommodations, hospitals were constructed in connection with the barracks in the West and North Divisions of the city. Patients were admitted to hospitals upon the order of the medical officers of the Chicago Relief and Aid Society, the Sanitary Superinten- dent of the Board of Health, and the County Physician. Supplies to hospitals and dispensaries were issued upon requisitions indorsed by the chief medical officer of the institution, and approved by the Chairman of the Com- mittee on Sick, Sanitary, and Hospital Measures. The dispensaries and hospitals reported daily to the chairman of this committee the number of patients treated, number of deaths, number of recoveries, and as often as required, the names of relief patients under treat- ment. With the daily reports from the visiting physi- cians and these reports from hospitals and dispensaries, the Committee was able to give at any time the name and address, age, sex, nationality, disease, and the result of treatment of every patient under its care. SICK, SANITARY, AND HOSPITAL MEASURES. 7 BURIALS. Arrangements were made with the county authorities by which, at a small cost to the Relief Society, all who died while under the care of this department were fur- nished a coffin and hearse to any of the cemeteries in the vicinity of the city. HOW MEDICAL RELIEF WAS OBTAINED, To obtain medical relief, it was only necessary to make application to some one of the Superintendents of Distri- bution, to a Visitor of that bureau, or to a Medical Super- intendent. SANITARY REGULATIONS AND CONDITION. The sanitary questions connected with houses and bar- racks were carefully considered, and the suggestions of this Committee were adopted by the Committee on Shel- ter. The barracks were subject to a careful daily inspec- tion by sanitary officers, and regulations best calculated to maintain health were rigidly enforced. The statistics indicate that these quarters were probably more healthy than those occupied by the same class of tenants before the fire. Up to November 30, only one death had oc- curred among a population of five thousand in barracks. SMALL-POX. For four years our city had experienced a singular im- munity from small-pox. We could hope to maintain this only by the same measures hitherto used, namely, vacci- nation and revaccination. In order to accomplish this it was found necessary to make satisfactory vaccination a condition upon which supplies were issued. The blanks published with this report explain sufficiently the mode 8 CHICAGO RELIEF AND AID SOCIETY. of doing the work. About sixty-four thousand persons were vaccinated by the officers of the Society. During the winter of 1871-72 small-pox was epidemic throughout the country. Many of the smaller as well as larger cities suffered severely from it. The mortality in Chicago from this cause during the whole winter was low. Of the comparatively few cases that did occur many were brought in from the country, while many more were emigrants. Thirty of these were from the ill-fated steamer Allemania, arriving at New York with the dis- ease on board. It seems hardly possible to exaggerate the disaster that in all human probability was averted by this systematic and thoroughly executed plan of the Committee. The results of about thirty thousand vac- cinations and revaccinations will be found in the tables published herewith. TYPHOID FEVER. Soon after the lire in the more densely crowded por- tions of the city, where, in many instances, several fam- ilies were compelled to occupy one small badly ventilated house, typhoid fever made its appearance. These dis- tricts were carefully inspected, and the Shelter Committee provided other quarters whenever deemed necessary by the medical officers. The disease did not spread. It disappeared, as usual, with the advance of winter. CHANGE IN PLAN OF WORK. The Relief and Aid Society had appropriated nearly $200,000 for the various hospitals of the city on condi- tion that these hospitals should, upon the order of the Society, receive, care for, and provide for all the medical and surgical wants of one patient for each $1,000 appro- priated. In other words the appropriation constituted an endowment of about two hundred beds, subject to the control of the Relief Society. About the 1st of February, SICK, SANITARY, AND HOSPITAL MEASURES. 9 1872, the issue of rations to hospitals was therefore discon- tinued and, to such sick as needed hospital care, permits, or orders were given upon which they were admitted into these institutions. The plan of visitation was materially modified. The district medical officers were discontinued and the work was done by the dispensaries, the Society fur- nishing medicines and meeting such incidental expenses as were necessary for their support. In addition to the aid given to the dispensaries proper, a small monthly sal- ary was paid to those physicians who were employed by the dispensaries in visiting patients at their homes. The prescribing physicians a£ the dispensaries received no compensation whatever. On the 15th of March, 1872, Dr. John Reid, who had served as medical superintendent of the First District, was appointed General Medical Su- perintendent, and continued to perform the duties of that office till May 1st, 1873. The reports from the dispen- saries and hospitals were made regularly, and the general record of this department of the Society’s work main- tained with uniformity till May 1st, 1873. AUXILIARY AID. On the 25th of November, 1871, the following circular was prepared and issued, earnestly inviting the coopera- tion of the citizens in providing for the sick proper nour- ishment, delicacies, and such care as could not be given by the physician. MEDICAL RELIEF. The Sick, Sanitary, and Hospital Committee of the Chicago Relief and Aid Society desire to secure the personal cooperation of benevolent cit- izens in the important and responsible work that comes under their supervision. The visiting and dispensing Physicians are unable, from the nature of their engagements, to provide in all cases such treatment and attentions as would best conduce to the welfare of their patients. Not seldom the sick are in need of some article of diet or simple luxury, 10 CHICAGO RELIEF AND AID SOCIETY. which if opportunity furnished, would not only be grateful to the suf- ferer, but instrumental in his recovery. It is believed that there are among us many persons of benevolent character and valuable sanitary experience who would be willing to give some personal attention to these cases, if the way could be pointed out to them, and if they could be as- sured that their services would be welcomed by the physicians in charge. The Committee wish to inform all such persons that their ministrations to the sick depending upon the Relief and Aid Society, in their respec- tive neighborhoods, is sincerely desired and would be gratefully accepted. Pastors, Churches, and Charitable Societies are requested to organize visitors in localities in which they are situated for efficient aid in this particular. Sometimes such immediate provision for the sick is needed as cannot be procured in time through the ordinary channels of relief, which might be speedily furnished in the way that is proposed. Where the expense attending such ministrations is of a kind to be at all burden some to visitors it will be paid out of the funds of the Society. What is aimed at is such an alert, kind, and intelligent care of the sick as shall be most promotive of their speedy convalescence. Such as desire are re- spectfully requested to put themselves in communication with the Medi- cal Superintendents and Medical Officers of this Committee, who may be found at the Depot of Distribution. Horatio N. Poavers, R. Ludlam. Special Committee. In response to this circular the “ Ladies Aid Society ” and many individuals not connected with any organiza- tion, rendered, under the direction of the medical officers, timely and valuable services. In every case a record was made and a report rendered of the kind and amount of aid supplied. The tables herewith published, with few exceptions, perhaps sufficiently explain themselves. The nomenclature of disease adopted by the physicians was not found to be in all respects the same, but it is believed that the results are not materially affected by that fact. Wherever a doubt existed as to the meaning of the re- porter, a personal inquiry was addressed to him upon the subject and the assignment of the case determined by his reply. It will be seen that some terms are used in a general sense. Diphtheria, for instance, embraces not only diphtheritic inflammation of the fauces, but also the SICK, SANITARY, AND HOSPITAL MEASURES. 11 same form of disease of the larynx. Without discussing the propriety of the grouping of these two forms of the disease under the same name, it has seemed almost a necessity, as croup, diphtheritic croup, membranous croup, and dipththeria, have been used by different reporters apparently for the designation of the same disease. On the contrary, spasmodic croup or false croup has been placed under the general term of laryngitis. The physicians reporting these cases were without ex- ception men of thorough medical education, many of them of large experience in hospital and private practice and there is every reason to rely upon the accuracy of their diagnosis. The statistics of mortality are absolutely accu- rate, as a single death could not have escaped the knowl- edge of the Department, even though the patient had been transferred before the termination of the case to the care of a physician not connected with the Society. No burial could take place without a registry or permit from the Board of Health, and the mortuary record of the Society was constantly compared with the official registration. It is believed that these tables contain information not readily accessible in any other form. They present a picture of the sanitary condition and vital force of about one hundred thousand of our citizens during the year 1872,—not only the deaths but the diseases and the mor- tality from each disease at different ages and in the two sexes. This represents much more nearly the work of physi- cians in private practice than either the statistics of hospitals or dispensaries, or of army practice, and so far as is known to the chairman of the Committee furnishes the largest collected and tabulated record of the kind in existence. The meteorological record is taken from the official register of the Board of Health of the city of Chicago. The direction and force of the wind is an approximation arrived at by taking the daily record 12 CHICAGO RELIEF AND AID SOCIETY. for the first half of the month and giving only the average for the period, and repeating the same process for the last half. The daily reports contain, besides the information here given, the nationality and as far as possible the occupa- tion of each patient. These reports are also complete for the whole period from October 16th, 1871, to May 1st, 1873, covering 89,724 cases. The blanks used by the Committee need no explanation.

TABULAR STATEMENT OF 26,549 VACCINATIONS AND REVACCINATIONS, At Different Periods of Life, in which the Results were carefully observed and recorded by Phy- sicians of the Relief and Aid Society, during the Winter of 1871 and 1872. The number of cases of small-pox occurring after recent or remote successful vaccinations and revaccinations was 726. General average time of occurrence after a first suc- cessful vaccination seven years ; second successful vaccination, eleven and five sixths years; third successful vaccination, fifteen and three fourths years. In addition to these figures, we have records of 4,197 cases which have been excluded, on the ground of incompleteness, from the general statement, and which, if added, would show a total of 30,746 vaccinations. The number of cases of small-pox occurring after recent or remote unsuccessful vaccinations and revaccinations was 658. The statistics of small-pox include cases that occurred previous to the winter of 1871-1872, and of which the evidence was satisfactory to the observers. Nationality. Successful. Under Five Years.
