Health Matters.
Editor Daily Item !:

Editor Daily Item:
AT the regular quarterly meeting Of the
Sumter County Medical Association, on Au-
pust 18th, the members discussed the recent
epidemic of smallpox in Srmter County,
and the relations of the State Board Of
Health to ;be control of epidemic diseases 10
the State. 1t was brought out during the
discussion that the cities Of the State.
through their local Boards of Health, are
enabled TO cope with epidemic diseases be-
cause of the city appropriations whereas the
outlyiug country districts are PLACID at 8
disadvantage, because NC adequate provision
bss been ade by law for eoupping the State
Board OF Health uuder whose jurisdiction the
country districts are. Our smallpox out
break gives an illustration. The Board OF
Health Of the City of Sumter. in April last,
by promptly directing systematic vaccination
and coae guarantee, in short time sue
ceeded in stamping out the disease. at an
oa,lay Of little over $4,000, furnished by
the city government. During the prevalence
of the epidemic several infected patients es
capped to the country an3 became centres of
infection there The City Board of Health
had authority to bring them heck, apd
there were no ocal boards of bealth in the
several townships to deal with the matter.
The State Board of Health had no fluids to
use for the purpose The result is that. 90
day. we have cases of smallpox in Sumter
County, With the probability of the loath-
some disease spreading 10 N unvaccinated
population; and the City Of Sumter is liabe
to have fresh case brought in from the
country townships at any tine.
10 view cf these facts. the Association
adopted the following resolutions:
Resolved lst. That the Sumter County
Medical Association. recognizing the i'm
portance of the work entrusted 10 tie State
Board of Health in repressing epidemic dis
eases and 10 advancing sanitary conditions
! throughout the State. is of the opinion that
the State Board of Health should be granted
u ore extended powers iu organizing its work
in the country districts.
Resolved I'd. That we respectfully urge
upon toe people of Sumter County, the i'm.
portance of arousipg an interest in the work
of the State Board Of Health, TO the end that
we obtain through our representatives in the
State Legislature more hearty support of
the Board and the extension of its usefulness.
