Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ninth Annual Report of the State Board of Health of the State of Ohio: For the Year Ending October 31, 1894
Five meetings were held during the year; three in Columbus, one in Cincinnati, and one in Canton. In January a joint meeting of the State and local boards of health was held in Columbus. Over two hun dred and fifty delegates were present and the meeting, which was the fourth of its kind, was one of more than usual interest. Quite a number of the township boards sent delegates. The time was almost entirely given up to discussing practical measures for preventing and restricting diphtheria, scarlet fever, typhoid fever. And small-pox. The discussion and papers were printed in the Sanitary Record and distributed to all boards of health, thus reaching those who were unable to attend.
The results of these meetings are far reaching in their effects. The delegates go back to their respective homes not only better informed, but with increased zeal for their work and a higher appreciation of their duties as guardians of the public health. These meetings also foster that esprit da corps without which public service is but half-heartedly performed.
