Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Thirty-Fourth Annual Report of the State Board of Health of Massachusetts The following report comprises the general work of the State Board of Health for the year ended Sept.30, 1902, together with its operations under the food and drug acts for the same period, and under the acts relating to water supply and sewerage during the calendar year 1902. The first part, paged in Roman numerals, contains a condensed account of the work done under the laws defining the duties of the Board. The regular work of the Board is performed mainly under the provisions of three separate acts, - an organic act of 1869, establishing the Board; an act of 1882, providing for the inspection of food and drugs; and an act for the protection of the purity of inland waters, of 1886, together with the amendments of these acts, all of which have been embodied in chapter 75 of the Revised Laws of Massachusetts, enacted in 1901. The second part of this report, paged in Arabic figures, presents the fuller details of the work of the Board under the acts above referred to. General Health of the State in 1902. In the last annual report (for the year 1901) it was stated that the death-rate of the State in that year was the lowest ever recorded. That of 1902, so far as can be estimated from the returns made to the Secretary of State, was still lower, the deaths having been only 47,491 out of an estimated population of 2.937, 600, which is equivalent to only 16.17 per 1,000 of the living population. The lowest death-rates in any previous years of the last half of the nineteenth century were 17 per 1,000 in 1867, 17.33 in 1859, and 16.82 in 1901.The highest death-rate in any year of the half-century was that of 1872, which was 22.85, while that of 1849 in the previous half century was probably still higher. Death-rates in the first half of the last century were probably much greater than they were in later times, in consequence of the greater prevalence of infectious diseases.
