The health record of Brattleboro for
the month of December shows a low per-
centage of contagious disease with the
exception of whooping cough. which
has been prevalent more than a
month. The figures reported to the state
board of health for the month were as fol-
lows: Typhoid fever, two cases; chicken
pOX, five cases; whooping cough, -
cases; scarlet fever. five cases. The year
was a generally satisfactory one as far
as typhoid fever Is concerned as most OF
the cases were traced to unSanitlry con-
ditions outside of Brattleboro. There is
always a little chicken-poX about town
and the few cases reported during the
month compares favorably with the same
month last year. If il had not been fol
the outbreak of scarlet fever within the
last 10 days the record would have been
remarkably good one.
