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

Sir: I am trasmltting the thirty- !
fourth anneal report of the executive n,
tommlttee o"* the state board health j rj
* wish to call your attention, *rleilylf)(
to the work which has been accom- ;
plished during the past year and to | A
point out what at present seems to be j
most needed to bring in still greater
measure the sanitary betterment of j q
the state. p
The energies of the state helath ' j(
officer have been chiefly directed sj
aginst the ante infection disease. | ^
of which the following have previaled \*
to a greater or less extent: Smallpox 5
scarlet fever, diphtheria typhoid fever ^
epidemic cerebro-spinal meningitis. ^
measles and whooping cough. 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. The total iiiiinIm*r of ampules >
sent out amounted to 2-"?,ir?S and it is <;i
to be hoped that tin* general assembly ;l
will give us the mentis to carry on (
this important work. 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

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.
No money could be more profitably
Invested by the general assembly
than by giving it to the board of
