 The report of Health Officer Bull for the past year, ending September ], | shows PIainVille to have excellent l health conditions. There were compar- atively few dangerous diseases during l the past 12 months although at one | time there was some score from diptheria epidemic. The report of Dr.
 Bull is as follows: cases of diph- theria; 26 of scarlet fever; of measles; ? of tuberculosis; or typhoid fever and several scattering cases of whooping cough.
 This report is favorable with other years past and there has been no in increase in communicable diseases. The health conditions of the town al ways were in good shape and there need be no fears entertained for any outbreak of epidemicS other than those of a minor nature. When school was in progress last term, slight cases of diphtheria were discovered among the children. Throat cultures were taken of two rooms and there were about IS cases found among them. These were given the attention of the Visiting Nurse, Miss Elizabeth Heine- man. and the parents were given warning to care for them. Strict at tention will therefore be given the children this year that here may be no outbreaks repeated at the school The parents will be asked not to send their children to school if they show any outward signs of illness and in serious cases, the care of physician should be had.
 The fact that there are no sewers in the town also speaks we'll for the above report as this may or may not be a direct cause for some of the sickness. Illness is generally to be found were there is no sewage sys- tenn. The town is also badly in need of garbage, collecting system.
