Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Seventeenth Annual Report of the Provincial Board of Health of Ontario: Being for the Year, 1898 May it Please Your Honour: The Provincial Board of Health, in presenting this its seventeenth annual report, has pleasure in again adverting to the conditions of the public health throughout the past year, as having been favorable, no epidemic has to any extent prevailed, so as to cause general suffering, although complaints have reached the Board that certain lighter infectious troubles were found to exist among the children on the assembling of the schools after the autumn vacations. The Board took steps to inquire into these. The duties of the Board have through the year consisted very much in seeing to the water supply of various localities, and investigating complaints regarding the pollution of streams. The complainants were on one occasion the farmers living on the banks of a small river which before reaching their farms received the sewage of a town of some consideration. It was found difficult to effect a modus vivendi between the disputants, and the dairy interests of the neighbourhood possibly still suffer, more than need be, from the mingling in their streams of the impurities of the town. The Board has to regret that in this as in other instances it has found interests which were only seemingly conflicting very difficult to reconcile. Although no epidemic has prevailed, yet one disease of that nature, "smallpox," has appeared in several quarters, introduced first from without the Province, showing its usual disposition to spread in whatever quarter it appeared. The active interference of the Secretary of the Board, who visited many of the localities where the disease was reported to be, causing due measures to be taken for the isolation of infected persons, prevented the prevalence of the disease from including much territory. In connection with smallpox, it seems right to report there is at present a greater risk of its attaining prevalence wherever it gets introduced by reason of an increasing neglect of, and on the part of not a few, even a strong objection to, vaccination.
