Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fifth Annual Report of the State Board of Health of the State of Maine: For the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 1889 We have the honor to present to the people of the State the Fifth Annual Report of the State Board of Health, for the year of grace 1889. No great emergency has arisen during the year, demanding unwonted activity and expenditures for the control of some extensive and fatal epidemic; no new measures have been inaugurated to attract attention by their novelty or by other meretricious circumstances; but we have gone on in the even tenor of our way, carrying out the methods already in use for educating the people in the gospel of hygiene, and for aiding them in the control of those familiar but destructive pestilences that are always with us. We do not undertake, in this report, to give a detailed account of all the work undertaken and accomplished by the Board. Such a report would contain a great amount of correspondence with local boards and individuals, consisting largely of repetitions of matter already published; it would make this a large volume, which would have little practical value except for those directly concerned, to whom the information that it would contain has been already communicated. Such parts of this correspondence as are of general value and interest can be better utilized in articles intended for general instruction and information, such as that presented by the Secretary under the title of Various Sanitary Topics. Sanitary Progress. This is a time of rapid progress in sanitary matters, and we believe that the State of Maine is, in most respects, keeping well up in the procession. When we consider that only five years ago this Board was organized, and that then, as a rule, the knowledge of our people in regard to hygienic principles and practice was of the most primitive character, the present condition of things is gratifying in the extreme.
