THE STATES WORK
Summaries Of November Reports Of State
Departments to Board of Control

have been reported S,723 cases OF
this disease this year and the deaths
will show a higher point than ever
reached before This is, of course,
partly due TO more complete report
ing OF cases and to the fact that
deaths from measles are now attrib-
uted to the disease instead of being
listed as broncho- pneumonia or some
other cause as formerly"
Whooping cough is still one of the
most prevalent of communicable dis
eases. the difficulty of quarantine be-
ing much greater in this than in most
other diseases The tuberculosis rec
ord will be slightly better this year
than in 1916.
There were made at the state labo-
ratory during November, 1117 exam
nations, nearly half or $50 being
diphtheria examinations, 100 tuber-
culosis examinations 72 syphilis ex-
aminations, 81 sanitary water exam
nations, 81 milk examinations and
lesser numbers Of examinations for
other purposes.
