HEALTH OFFICER.
An Interesting Review of tn Sanitary
conditions.

Conditions.
To the Honorable Mayor and the Board
of Aldermen Of the City of Anaconda:
In accordance with section :. ordinance
No. S3. l have the honor to submit my
annual report. covering period from
April 80. 1925. TO May l. 1896.
The general health of the city has been
uniformly good. No serious epidemics
have arisen and no alarming series of
diseases has appeared. Typhoid fever
during the last summer was more preva-
lent than In years. No tangible evidence
of its cause could be obtained. Some of
the cases were caused by persons drink
ing water which contained ice obtained
from the b.. A. & =. II. r. yards. This
ice was shipped in here with perishable
merchandise and thrown away by the
consignee, being afterwards obtained in
an unusual manner Coming from about
the sloughs of Milwaukee IL was infected
and thereby caused disease. Other cases
came from without. and still more from
Carroll. The city water supply was ex-
amined and was not contaminated. / am
sure II the people Of the city will re-
strict their drinking water to that fur
nished by the city fewer cases will occur
this year. OF course milk contamination
must be considered. but the danger from
this is reduced TO a minimum.
number of cases OF measles have oc-
CURED during this spring. Physicians
have not been called TO see all of them
and effective quarantine measures haze
therefore not been Instituted. I desire
TO call the attention OF citizens TO the
fact that measles is not a minor disease,
but ranks third in the mortality lists of
the large cities Of the union. Further
more one attack does not protect against
a second or a third one.
The earnest cooperation OF physicians
is requested in reporting all cases of a
contagious nature.
This department takes pardonahle
pride in calling attention 20 the fact that
the smallpox has not shown itself during
the last fiscal year.
Never since the year 1875. when We
secured the city in a most thorough man
ner, have our streets and alleys been in
such excellent condition. A short walk
through the city will prove this conclu-
sively.
During the past year have appointed
another city scavenger. He is competent
and IL supported by the board OF health
will do his work faithfully.
There are no wells in the city being
used for drinking water. the few that are
left are used for other purposes.
The surface water which has always
been a considerable source OF annoyance.
this spring happily caused much less
trouble. AS I have reported 10 you be-
fore. IL is more economical on the part
Of the city 70 have this slight trouble

VISITING ANACONDA
Tuesday, May 5, Until
May IL, Only.
At 1872 East Park Avenue, Anaconda
Business College.

DR.. A. c. Stoddart. Visiting Physician
for the Liebig World Dispensary. will be
in Anaconda above dates.
This will be a rare opportunity to meet
in FREE consultation one of the most
skillful specialists of the 18th century.
namely, DR.. A. c. Stoddart, who has been
examining and consulting physician for
the DR.. Liebig World Dispensary of San
Francisco Butte and Helena during the
past q years.
1t is we'll known that the doctor has
cured the greatest number of patients
treated by any one physician on the Pa
cific Coast during that time His expe-
rience in the treatment of chronic, pri-
yate and delicate diseases of men and wo-
men has given him such knowledge that
few diseases have ever been known to
battle his great skill.
Every one desiring expert treatment for
chronic Diseases of the Eye. Ear. Nose,
Throat or Reproductive and Nervous Sys-
TENS should not fail to call upon the doc
tor; especially men suffering from results
of abuse of natures laws, excesses and
badly treated or neglected cases of a
chronic. private or complicated nature.
DIR. Stoddart will not be able to lecture
TO men or ladies this visit, but will con-
sult free with all who desire advice or a
diagnosis of their chronic, private or del
icate diseases.
Home treatment can be given persons
writing. Balance of remedies to cure suf-
ferers will be expressed from Dr. Stod-
darts offices, Atlas Block, Helena or As
East Park street Butte, Mont.
DR.. Stoddart has so far recovered from
elevator accident as to attend person
ally.

than to go TO great expense in avoiding
It, No great damage results from the
abuse.
For the betterment of the city the fol-
lowing suggestions are offered:
First-Some measures must be adopted
for Gisposing of the city's refuse. The
present dump is inadequate; every year
it costs the city nearly $500 to have 1t
repaired. Cows roam over II ana IL
makes a most unsightly and impassable
mess. A crematory furnace should be
bought and placed in operation as soon
as is practicable.
second-The establishment of a bureau
of vital statistics is so necessary 1t needs
no further comment. The city attorney
has told me an ordinance is now in prep
aration, for which / am thankful.
Third-The Immediate extension of the
sewer system. No one who is not in con-
tact with the sanitary conditions can ap-
preciate the value OF this necessary work
II may be the right of property owners
to build eight or ten cabins on one lot,
but II you consider the sanitary ques-
tions involved you may readily see the
absurdity of II. Human beings should
not be packed together as some are In
the eastern portion of the town. To avoid
as much as possible any fear OF future
trouble, connection should be made with
sewers. / am sure the expense would be
vaults clean. Also, in this connection,
scme provision should be made for sewer
connections in the district already sup
piled by the main.
Fourth-Adding a food section to the
present ordinance. Then we could in
spect the meats fish, milk, etc, and see
that our supply is fit for consumption.
Fifth-The abolition of wood-sawing
within the city limits. This is unneces-
sary and a source of much trouble in
keeping the alleys and streets clean.
Sixth-The appointment of sanitary
policeman or detailing one of the regular
force for that purpose.
Notwithstanding the present ordi-
nance so that the duties of the health
officer will be more sharply defined and
his labors better classified.
need not dwell upon the Importance of
the foregoing recommendations; l have
repeatedly reported them to you and hope
you will take immediate and decisive ac-
ton. This department trusts that when
the health committee is appointed ii will
organize and continue to meet as pro-
vided by ordinance. Nothing is more
stimulating TO your health officer or gives
him more support than for him to feel
he is being upheld by the city council.
Finally, do not feel at all discouraged
with our sanitary status. for i know we
are superior in this sense to any city in
the state and that we have as low
death rate per thousand as any city In
these United States.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
]. F. Spelman,
Health officer.
