Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ninth Biennial Report of the State Board of Health of California: For the Fiscal Years From June 30, 1884, to June 30, 1886 To his Excellency George Stoneman, Governor of California: The State Board of Health, in presenting this its ninth biennial report to you and to the Legislature, is glad to be able to say that the sanitary condition of the State for the fiscal year ending June, 1886, has been generally good. Although threatened, no epidemic disease has invaded our borders. The Board is now in closer and more regular communication with a greater number of the different municipalities and localities throughout the State, and of the various health organizations of the country, than ever before, and have striven by every means available - having also received the valuable aid of the public press - to keep the people acquainted with the sanitary condition of the State, and at the same time advising them of the importance of studying and observing proper sanitary laws. The members of your Board have given all the assistance in their power to help bring about this encouraging condition of the public health, and to lay the foundation of future good work. They have been active, harmonious, and zealous in the discharge of their duty. California was one of the first States in the Union to see the urgent necessity of organizing a State Board of Health, and much good work has been done; but we are forced to admit that California is now far behind some of her sister States in which State Boards of Health are maintained, in failing to have upon her statute books many needed sanitary laws, and having the same carried out by efficacious State aid. As Californians, we are all justly proud of our State, standing, as it does, in the first rank as to intelligence and wealth of her citizens; therefore, such a lax condition of our health laws, so easily remedied, should not be permitted. The State must protect her people in the enjoyment of health and happiness, as well as property. And we are confident that as soon as earnest attention is called to this subject our legislators will quickly place our State in the front rank in this as in all other matters appertaining to the public welfare. As to the financial workings of the Board, the detailed statement of our Permanent Secretary appended, shows that the amount appropriated for the work of the Board has been faithfully and judiciously used; and fortunate has it been for our coast that we have not been visited by any pestilential diseases, such as yellow fever, smallpox, or cholera, during the past two years. If we had been, the limited appropriation at the disposal of this Board, it is feared, would not have been sufficient to have permitted it to maintain such a quarantine as would have proved effective. Quarantine. The subject of State quarantine is one of primary importance, and should command the earnest attention of the Legislature, as it has so often of this Board.
