COUNTY HEALTH REPORT.
Health Officer Gives StatiStiCS-3O0
Deaths i'm Cecil County
Last Year.

Health Officer, DR. T. A. Worrall,
of North East, reports that during
the year ending Dec. 81, 1906.
there were 800 deaths recorded in
Cecil county. Of these 26 were OF
consumption, (tnberculosis;) 35 OF
heart disease; Ii of pneumonia; Ii
of typhoid fever. There were no
deaths from scarlet fever; but one
died of measles, and 3 of whoopine
cough, both of which are considered
milder diseases and less dangerous
to life. Tuberculosis, the ''White
Plague" claimed 26 victims
When such cases have been brought
to notice of the health officer, strict
instr uctions have been given, SO
that the specific form might not
infect those brought in contact
with patients; after death the
homes have been disinfected. The
physicians throughout the county
have ably and willingly aided in
this work.
There have been born during the
year 23S white children; Al colored
children.
There has been no epidemic;
diphtheria. measles, typhoid fever
have made their appearance in sew
eral localities, but through the
watchfulness of the physicians in
attendance, these diseases were
confined to narrow areas. The
Board of Health furnished Anti
toxin in INDECENT cases and report
shows that there was no death
where it was used early and i'll
large doses.
This report shows greater num-
Der of deaths than births. This we
believe is not actually the case,
owing to the fact that busy physi
clans neglect to report births;
whilst registers must report
deaths 10 order toIreceive remunera-
ton. The former receive no pay.
the latter do.
Seventy.one permits have been
granted to children under sixteen
years of age to work in public
works. Certificates were refused
to those who we're found physically
unable to perform the work they
contemplated doing.
