Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Twenty-Fourth Annual Report of the State Board of Health, of the State of Rhode Island: For the Year Ending December 31, 1901, and Including the Report Upon the Registration of Births, Marriages, and Deaths in 1900 The work of the State Board of Health during the year has been a continuation of the study of the various conditions pertaining to the public health, especial use being made of the more recent methods of diagnosis and investigation which have been made available during the past few years. Contagious Diseases. Monthly reports of the number of cases of communicable diseases which have occurred in the various towns, including scarlet fever, diphtheria, and typhoid fever, have been continued. This makes it possible for comparison of the comparative prevalence of any of these diseases in any of the towns or throughout the State. These records were begun in the year 1894, and thus comparison of increase or decrease may be made. The local health authorities are yearly giving more intelligent attention to this class of work, and the control of these diseases has been more thoroughly systematized. Water Supplies. There has been no change in the system of water supplies of the State since the previous report. The city of Providence has made several attempts to obtain a system of filtration for the purification of its water supply; hut owing to differences of opinion in regard to the manner in which this should be accomplished, the adoption of any plan has been made impossible. The supply of Woonsocket continues the same. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
