Board Of Health.

The Board of Health at its
September meeting heard the re-
port of the Secretary on his inspec-
ton, upon complaint, of one tomato
cannery and one creamery. The
latter was found to be not as it
should be, and the manager was
notified to make immediate i'm
.proyements.
One case of scarlatina reported at
Bank and one case of scarlet fever
in Elk Neck.
Typhoid fever-two cases in Elk
ton, one contracted in Wilmington.
One case each at Andora, Iron Hill,
Perryville and Blake. One fatal
case each at Leslie and Richards
mere. No new eases at Providence.
Five cases were reported at Port
Deposit. One was contracted in
Virginia. Three were contracted
at a boarding house, probably from
an imported case from Lancaster,
Pa. The fifth case was due to the
bad sanitary condition of the sec
ton of the town in which the
patient lives. Twenty-six cases
were reported in August 1898, and
ten in August 1899.
The Board considered the adyis-
ability of asking the County Com
missioners to appoint a commission
of representative citizens to con-
slider the need and practicability of
taking steps toward the establish
ment Of a County Hospital. One
of its most important uses would be
to limit the spread of infectious
diseases. Action was deferred.
Thirty five deaths were reported
for August: Accident, burns L;
|apoplexy 2; asthma L; atelectasis,
lung 1; cholera infantum 6; con.
sumption 4; cystitis, complicated /,
diarrhosa 1; dysentery A; gangrene

nights / obstruction, bowel i; old
age 2; remittent fever /; still born 1 /;

But fourteen births were reported
for August, about one fourth of the
proper number. Physicians, par
ents, and mid-wives are requested
to pay more attention to this i'm
portant duty.
