Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fourteenth Annual Report of the State Board of Health of the State of Connecticut, for the Year Ending November 30, 1891: With the Registration Report for 1890 Relating to Births, Marriages, Deaths and Divorces The work Of the Board during the year has been pursued on the same general lines, as in previous years. A system Of communication with the local boards throughout the State, established some years ago, has been carefully cultivated and encouraged, until now the State is enabled, through it, to keep more or less regularly informed of the general condition of health in the commonwealth. The statutes establishing the State Board evidently contem plate such intercourse, although it is nowhere made the positive duty of officials to maintain a regular correspondence, or even to make any report Of the work of local boards to the State Board. Sections 2578, 2579 and 2580, make it the duty Of both State and Local Boards to communicate with each other on special occasions but those occasions are not frequent enough to keep the State Board satisfactorily informed of the state of health in all the towns and the in uences which affect it, hence it is that the information which the State Board might give and the aid it might Offer, cannot be always seasonably rendered. Fortunately during the past year there have been no severe and fatal epidemics among the people Of the State. There have been numerous local outbreaks, of nearly all the more common infectious diseases. The constant and widespread intercourse Of the people Of Connecticut with the people of other States and countries, maintains an uninterrupted liability to the invasion of such infectious diseases, and in fact, we have had contagious disease imported during the year into Connecticut from even so remote a distance as the State of Texas.
