Brookhaven, Miss, June 2,
1908.
Hon. Board Of Supervisors, Lin.
coln County, Miss.
Gentlemen herewith sub
lnit my fourth quarterly report
for the year 1907 50S, as county
health officer.
! have visited the county 1ail.
county farm and poor house and
find them in very good sanitary
condition at present, and the in
mates we'll cared for. Since nv
last report / have found small
pox to be quite prevalent among
the negroes. Many cases have
been oncealed and not reported.
It is very mild in some cases
and termed by many chicken
pox. = Up TO date | have seen %
cases mostly in and near Brock
haven. / have visited one infect
ed home near Falgey's store, and
today 60 to CaseyvilIe vicinity to
confirm diagnosis there Of several
cases.
Inasmuuh as the disease threat
ems the county so greatly through
the servants, Isuggest that you at
once equip detention house
where ] will at once carry all in
fected persons for treatment and
disinfection.
So far as / am able to ascertain
/ have Vaccinated all exposed
persons. Inasmucl as they keep
everything suspicious concealed
this is a difficult task. All those
infections are traceabie directly
or Indirectly to Mississippi Cen
tral Railroad levee hands from
Franklin Co.
There is at present no other con-
.tagious or infectious disease III
tbs county.
Respectfully submitted,
w. H. FRIzELL, .Ir., M, D.,
