Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ninth Annual Report of the State Board of Health of Illinois: With an Appendix; Embracing Report on the State Sanitary Survey, Vital Statistics of Illinois and Coroners´ Inquests, Meteorological Tables, Report on State Medicine in 1886 To His Excellency, Richard J. Oglesby, Governor. Sir: - The feature of greatest public interest in the labors of the State Board of Health during 1886 has been its preventive work with reference to the exclusion of Asiatic cholera, or to its limitation if the disease should, unfortunately, gain access to this country. It has continued in Italy and along the Austrian coast of the Adriatic, and at the close of the year occasional cases were still reported in Austria and Hungary and one or two in the German Empire. Although not to be compared in severity, extent or rapidity of spread with historic epidemic of 1817-23, of 1836-37, of 1846-63 and of 1865-75, its continued prevalence is the cause of general apprehension, since the occurrence of even a few cases is sufficient to seriously disturb commerce and travel and to entail great pecuniary losses and much personal suffering and inconvenience. Its recent irruption into Chili from the Argentine Republic caused the Governor of Texas to declare a rigid quarantine against South American commerce to be enforced in all cases where there is reason to suspect intercourse with the infected area. One of the must useful functions of sanitary science, and one whose utility may be appreciated by all classes of the community, is that of guarding against these disastrous interruptions of commercial and personal intercourse: of avoiding, so far as practicable, the necessity for the establishment of quarantine; and of go preparing a community as that, in the event that an epidemic contagious disease is nevertheless introduced, the ravages of such disease and its duration may be controlled and limited.
