How Contagious Disease can be Controlled

How Contagious Disease can be Controlled.

It appears to me, that the only effectual way of dealing with the disorder, is to detect early, to seclude effectually, and place under medical treatment, as many affected persons as possible. It is as vain to hope to reach all, as it is to deny that there are many upon whom the healing hand can he laid. Only those utterly ignorant of what has been achieved, will be so bold as to deny the excellent effects produced by the Contagious Diseases Act in the protected districts. The reasonable conclusion seems to be that what is good for the few will be good for the many, and that the provisions of this Act should be extended to the whole population.
