; BOARD OF HEALTH.
The principal work of the month
has been directed toward the at
tempted control of the epidemic of
Spanish Influenza. 1t Is evident that
the epidemic in Vermont developed
considerably later than that in Mas
sachusetts and apparently most of
our foci Of infection can be traced
directly to Massachusetts and partic-
ularly to Camp Devens. Where the
disease first started in this state is
unknown, but by the middle of the
month, reports began coming in from
various parts of the state, mostly on
the east side, showing that the dis
ease had obtained a foothold. st.
Johnsbury seemed to be the most
seriously affected at first, but it soon
developed that Montpelier and Barre
were In worse condition than any
other places in the state.
The communicable diseases report
al during the month are as follows:
