Healthful Maryland.

DR.. James A Steuart, secretary of the
Maryland State board of health, has for
the past two months been making his an
nual visitationS to the county boards
throughout the State. He has visited An
napolis, Anne Arundel county, Chester
town, Kent county, Westminster, Carroll
county, Easton, Talbot county, Centreville,
Queen Anne's county, La Plata, Charles
county, Leonardtown, st Mary's county,
and Rockville, Mont gomery county
Nearly all the county boards met on the
Tuesdays of different weeks and hence it
has been difficult for the secretary to ar
range his visits in order of location, BY
which much time might have been saved
His present engagements are for Belair,
Hartford county, August 10; Snow Hill,
Worcester county, on the 18th; Frederick,
on the Goth, and Cambridge, Dorchester
county, on the 2od The other counties,
where no special appointment has as yet
been made are Somerset, Wicomco, Bal
timore county, Cecil, Calvert, Washing
ton, Allegany, Garrett, Caroline, Prince
Georges and Howard.
The object of this plan of personal vis-
tations originally was to bring the State
board of health into closer personal rela-
tons with the members of the county
boards, and to cultivate a greater interest
the public health throughout the State 1t
has been gratifying to the secretary to
have been received everywhere with cor
diality and listened to with marked atten-
ton and interest. Much benefit has been
derived from these consultations and many
abuses and negligenceS have been correct

One Of the chief subjects dwclt upon by
the secretary in his visits this year has

State. Heretofore it has seemed impossi.

on the part of many medical practitioners
although every facility has been furnished
them by the general distribution of posta
cards prepared for the purpose. The sec

that he may yet arouse the dormant inter
