In Milford During The Year

DIR. S. NJ. d. Marshall. President
City Board OF Health
Milford. Delaware
Dear DR.. Marshall:
| beg to submit to you the follow
ing report of health conditions and
activities in the City Of Milford for
the year 1887.
Milford was particularly fortunate
in that it had very few cases OF COM
municable diseases during the year.
There were no cases Of diphtheria
reported during the year. We are
pleased to think this Is largely due
to immunization work which has
been done against this disease. We
realize fully. however, that this
work will have TO be continued in
definitely i'm the pre-school group.
because Of the fact that every inn
munized child becomes a potential
carrier and may transmit the dis
ease to children who are unprotect-
ed.

The amateurs probably will have
two advantages over the contestants in

expect officials would again order the
deep burrows in the traps which
brought loud complaints then and said
the green's likely would be slower.
