2 State Hoard oj cusses Conditi In Its Annu The Columbia Record. h< The state board of health In submitting it sannual report to the general assembly and to the governor, calls attention to the efforts being made to prevent the spread of contagious diseases and toward the preventlon of such diseases as tubercu- , losls and other sourges existing in tl^is state In transmitting the annual i U] report to governor Blease, Dr. Robert Wilson, Jr., The chairman .writes as ' 'vj follows: | in "Charleston, S.

It is due to his activity that cerebro-spinal meningitis has not spread inor<' wide- j, lv. T-fverv < -e reported was visu by him In person, and in many instances bo appllod tbo specific treat- ] meat. t( Smallpox is loss provnlont tbnn in ,, tbo past, but it will not bo stumped f, out entirely until universal vaccina- , tion is enforced rigidly. There is no other known moans of preventing it. s, In some casos its spread lias boon j, clearly duo to the indifference of the ? school authorities enforcing the law ,, requiring every child to bo vaccinated ,j before entering school. During the ,, ^ year 90,3 00 vaccine points were sent t) W out from the office, a considerable p I increase over the record of the pre- s| vlous year. j il The figures of the state health offi- p cer show a very marked reduction In the death rate from diphtheria f brought about largely bv the free dls- j, tribution of anti-toxin. This is one of f, the most important undertaking of ,. the board and, as the health officer M very truly says, "there is no expendi- ? tare of the state's money which n brings in greater returns to the state than the amount expended for diphtheria anti-toxin. Its benefits reach all alike, ami the parents of South ^ Carolint owe deep debt of gratitude to the legislature for this appropriation.' | In the free distribution of typhoid t prophylactic also an immense amount , fll K<HHI Il.l> lldlll- III I II*' JIM n il- | lion of sickness :ind in the saving of ( life.

Vaccination. | however, is not alone sufficient to < stamp out typhoid fever, as i- the x case with smallpox, hut there is also ( required the effective application of ( simple sanitary measures. That ty- , phoid fever exists "as a widespread f epidemic in the state" is a just indi- j cation of the sanitary intelligence c?f | the peole. and proves the need of t the active educational propaganda t which the hoard is tiying to carry on. $ FANITOHIUM NEEDED. I The courge of all civilized commu- I , uities is tuberculosis and ("ought Carolina is no exception. There is no < disease that is so universal, none that , entails more prolonged suffering and j incapacity none therefore, that is of | ro great economic importance and ; there Is none that lias received less ] consideration from the state. Perhaps the very magnitude of the problem makes any effort appear almost hope less: hut thai much can be done h is j been sufficiently demonstrated, and io quote the words of the health officer, "this legislature has a splena'd opfortun,ty to earn the lasting gra'it .do of the pec pie ?>r this state by seriously 01 sider'ng this, and doing something for tlies poor victims it if the great white |lauge" The >:i'd cf health recommends the estal-.ishnient at some central point of a state sanitorium for the treatment of early cases of tuberculosis. PELLAGRA STITITATION. Another health problem which Insistenly demands solution is the pellarge stituation. This disease is increasing unquestionably, and is rapidly assuming such proportions as to make it a vital economic question. We are ignorant of Its cause and of the mode of its propagation; we only know nits disastrous ravages .We are spending annually a large sum to pro vide for those whom the disease has afflicted and rendered insane?would it not be economy to spend something Ill me eiiui l IU Uini UTCi ? r* CftJ vv/ J/IV vent the dreadful waste of life and money It. occasions? Last year we recommended the appointment of a commission to study this disease in all Its phases, and we still believe that such action is urgently needed. The work of the hoard has been seriously crippled by the lack of sufficient money to carry on the publication of such literature as monthly bulletlons. by means of which Informa tion concerning the proper sanitary measures to be taken in order to prevent the spread of infections diseases ir, disseminated among the people of the state. No health work can be effective without Intelligent cooperation of the public, and It Is one of the important functions of the board of health to bring about the sanitary enlightenment of our people; but with restricted means our hands are tied, and the people suffer in their Ignorance.
