ANNUAL REPORT, BOARD HEALTH Operations the Past Year. Important Recommendations, The supplemental report of the Board of | Health was submitted to the Governor this morning for transmission to the Legislature. It is a well-written and carefully-prepared paper, and on account of the importance of the sub- jects treated and of the recommendations of the board, we lay it before our readers in full, as follows. District oF Corumaia, Boarp or Heat Waenincton, May sth, isi3. Hon. H. D. Cooke, Governor of the District of Co- Digmbte: Sim: Ibave the honor to submit herewith a statement of the acts of the Board of Health of the District of Columbia, sinee the rendition of the annual report of December last, together with certain suggestions and recommendations considered important to the sanitary interests ot the District. I have the honor to be, very ag “arctagee yours, Cuts. C. Cox, M. D., ” President of the Board of Health of Dist. Col. The first annual report of the proceedings of the Board of Health of the District of Colum- bia, presented to your Excellency early in De- cember of last year, embraced a consideration of various sanitary topics, including the canal nuisance, animals at large, unwholesome foul, all POX, sewerage, utilization of night- garbage, the cleansing and purification of alle together with the code of ordinances adopted by the board, rules and regulations in regard to small pox, regulations for general vaccination, for the garbage and sewerage service; reports of the superintendent of pounds, of meat in- spectors, inspector of marine products, of the health officer, of the sanitary, sanitary police, and ordinance committees, an of the treasurer amd chemist of the board. "Every unprejudiced ts . in view of that annual exhibit, will ad: mit that no neglect of the health interests of the District is properly chargeable to the board, but, on the contrary, that its members been earnestly desirous to perform their whole duty, and have labored to that end as they be- lieve not with .t beneficial results. I have now the honor of presenting for your information and that of the Legislative Assem- bly the pi of health operations in the Dis- trict since the remditien of the last report, in- cluding statements of nuisances abated, effurts to prevent the spread of small-pox and inter- esting statistics connected therewith, a report of the receipts and disbursements of the board since its organization, and of their present financial necessities, together with such sug- gestions as may tend to enlarge the sphere of samtary science, and contribute to the ad- vanced health and well-being of the commu- pity. SMALL-rox. ‘The history of small-pox as prevailing in this city, has been fully deseribed in the anuwal re- port, and the exlibit of the health officer peared to this communication marked « The epidemic, which at first threatened to leave its deadly traces in every part of the District, has been sw ssfully arrested and confined to certain limits by the vigilance and persevering energy of the officers having this subject in cbarge. The most powerful measures for the preven- tion of the spread of small pox have been found to consist in isolation and vaccinat former has been rendered as pertect as cireum- stances and the provisions ot law would per- mit; the latter most diligently and taitht ul practiced to the largest possible exter x ation of the population, exclusive of suc veTsons as received attention at the office of the rd, was confided to the ward physicians of under conditions imposed re rough scrutiny into the needs of the ity in this r t, and their complete Fseveringly pros cuted. faithfully and efliciently ihe work of these medical gentlemen has been performed is evineed by their full and’ satisfactory repor to the board, but more by the results of their labors, n commendation of the zeal and dev« ed upon the task assigned them. assumed no ordinary proportions, and no ordinary sacrifice exertion. the offices of the ward physicians, we feel m the ravages of small For these extraordinary serv lee esented, are regarded by ly moderate and just, tion of the Legislative Assembly is rest urged, by which these physicians may be compensated for the important duty they have so faithfully executed. The Boar | of Health has already assumed one-third of this pecuniary indebtedness, to be paid out of the appropriation made by Congress for the next fiseal year, and the aid of the Legisiature ts earnestly invoked to meet the remaining obli- gation. In order to prevent the ingress of small pox it iscssential that the system or vaccination thus inaugurated shall be persistently sustained year after year, since a new population is constantly being added to the District, and pertuanent resi- dents require the test of revaccination at unce:- tain intervais. The board would, there‘ore, suggest that an addition of at least Siw per annum be made to the present salaries of the ward physicians, in return for which they shal! t red (at least once # year, or oftener mail pox prevail,) to visit every louse in pective districts, for the vaccination and revaceination of all such as may be unpro teeted, and to ascertain that those who prever to apply to their own family physicians shall have complied with the compuisory rule within a reasonable time. Additional legislation is absolutely demanded toenable the board stil! more successfully to pro- tect our citizens against small pox. At present the disease chietly prevails in shanties and di- lapidated houses w numbers are congre gated, the surroundings ef which indicate gross neglect of the common rules of health, especi- ally as respects ventilation and personal clean- liness. No legal authority exists to compel the removal of the isfected from these locations and thos, in many instances, they have una voidably continued to operate as foci for the propagation and spread of the epidemic. In order to stamp Out every trace of a malaly so justly dreaded it ts absolutely essential that the toeck cual have authority to separate diseased from the healthy. Vaccination anc isolation once assured, small pox longer a local habitation in our midst. Vaccination, Sgiehtynerprr the newspaper wisdom upon this subject, still commanls th contidence of the profession as an efficient pre- ventive against the small pox. The experience ot the New York Board of Health, during the ve no wast year, isstrongly coroborative of this asser- tion. Jt Positively aftirms that “among all thume sineceastury ¥8¢emated or re-vaccinated none have fallen victim, [ Small pox in an form, while numbers have been suicken wi it who refused to be vaccinated.” | ‘The efforts of the board to extinguish small pox bave resulted in partial successonly, chietly tor the want of suitable legislation by which isolation and vaccination could be made com- pletely effectual. 1. 1n order to thorough protection of the com- munity every person exposed, from neglect of vaccination or re-vaccination, should com- pelled to submit to this important preventive measure either at the hands of the ward pliysi- cian, or the family medical adviser. 2. Authority should be vested in the Board of Health to remove to hospital all cases of small pox, whenever in their judgment the public safety may require such proceeding. Of course a wise discretion should be observed, avoiding contlict with suitable domestic arrangements for isolation of the sick, where the means of the oc- cupant and the capacity of the dwelling justity exemption trom the rule. These provisions, it i= hoped, will receive the official approval of our law-makers, and that the board will hereafter be fortitied with ample power and authority to control infectious disease, whenever it may threaten or assnme epidemic form. Every phy- sician and head of family should be required to Teport within 24 hours any and all cases of small pox, or other infectious or con! is disorder that may oceur within the circle of their inmates or patients. he Leinge | results in regard to small pox in the District will be found interesting and sug- gestive: SUMMARY. ‘Total number of cases of sunall-pox occurring from July 1, 1572, to April 15, 1873—contluent cases, 49; mild type, 1,223. - @Deaths—never vaccinated, 307; previous to 5 years, @; within5 years, 24439, Percent: ‘never vaccinated 71.40; previous to 5 years, 23.02; within 5 years, 5.55.

The public bath and washin, house organized at Liverpool in 1343, was fol- ‘owed in 184% by a similar institution in White Chapel, London, caleulated for 4 baths and 95 washing places, each with its separate drying closet, and to meet a weekly demand for about 30,000 baths, and the ‘washing and drying of the clothes of about 20,000 persons. Since then other establishments have been opened and are in snecessful operation in different parts of London. The number who have availed them- selves of the penny baths is incredible, while the arrangements for cheap washing and dry- ing of clothing are most complete ‘and accessi- ble toall. That the bath should find a place among the regular occupations cannot be ques- tioned. Itisteally of greater consequence and more generai utility than any species of manual or gymnastic exercise. In our country the im- portance of public baths has been time and again insisted upon by sanitarians. In Boston they have been in use for a number of years, and extensively patronized by all classes. In New York the accommodations for public bath- ing arenot in proportion to the demand. At- tention, however, is being directed to its im portance, and it will not be long ere this gre sanitary measure will receive the consideration it justly merits. Dr. Stephen Smith, ene of the most distinguished sanitarians of the age, in re- ferring to the value of public baths, especially to the districts in New York occupied by ten- ant houses, says: k “The maintenance of public baths in such numbers and so distributed throughout the c.ty as to enable every inhabitant to bathe di the afternoon or evening, would greatly miti- e the effects of high’ temperature: 1, by educing the temperature of the body; maintaining a dimmished temperature through the increased evaporation from the surface, which would follow through cleansing of the skin. These measures, if faithfully a promptly carried out, would do mach to rem- edy the insanitary conditions which are quick- ened into such fatal intensity and activity dur- ing the hot season of the year; and our summers thus be made, if not as healthy as any other portion of the year, at least as healthy as sunimer towns and resorts whither we are wont to th Few s require public baths more than onr own.

QUARANTINE Certain quarantine regulations are also itm. peratively demanded to prevent the introduc tion of infectiousor contagious diseases inty the city from abroad, whether by land or wate: The want of suitable legal restrictions has ty more than once apparent during the prevaie of the late epidemic. Persons amlicted small pox have come, unchecked, into Wash ington and Georgetown, from neighboring towns and cities, ac the ous risk of our own inhabitants. No enactment at presen prevent the constant repetition of su ous inyasion of the District. Both water communication should be proj guarded against the inroad of contagio: eases, and proper quarantine reguiatio once adopted as a part of tie essential macuin- ery of the board of health. ABAT The location of slaughter-houses in citi long been recognized among the prom: causes of unhealthfulness and disease. In of the European cities abattoirs have been structed beyond the munivipal limits w alone avimals are slaughtered for mark these the most careful provision is ma secure entire cleanliness and freedom offensive and injurious odors, the protec the commurity against unsound or immature meats, and the utilization of every portion of animal matter (including blood) under the same roof. An extensive abattoir, at immense cost, is now in process of construction near Boston, where all animals intended for the city markets will be slaughtered. This abattoir, required by legislative enactment to be built, under direction of the Board of Health, has been ap- propriated by the butchers themselves, who are constructing it at their own expense, but under the direction of the health organ of the city. Similar buildings must, sooner or later, be con- structed in every city. Such structures cannot tui] to result most advantageously in removing the ofevglye and pernicious odors which ema- nate from siz! slaughtering establishments, badly regulated, ana <7 ‘fulshing for the butchers themselves, at one point, ana ai mou erate cost, all necessary appliances for the suc~ cesstul prosecution of their business, DISPOSITION OF NIGHT SOIL, GARBAGE, ETC. Experience has proved that the prompt progr removal of night soil and garbage can- not be effected unless the Board of Heaith is allowed to exercise entire control in the direc- tion of its agents. The same remark applies to the cleansing of streets and alleys, and the gen= eral removal of filth from thoroughfares ant private premises. Such control of these im- portant sources of offense and tnsalubrity obtains in other places, and 1s quite indispensa- ble. It is therefore earnestly requestet that some legislation be had looking to a more effective disposition of this important division of sanitary labor. The transfer and final digposition of night soil has always been an object of much sanitary interest, and invariably attended by no small trouble and expense. ‘The board has giv n the subject unusual attention, and in few or the cities is the excrementitious matter s» thor- oughly disposed of, and with go little offense, as in our own. The same may be affirmed’ of garbage aml dead anuaals. These nuisances ure all transferred, under one contract, and by the same means of transportation, toa point down the river, eight miles from the city limits. This whole work is accomplished at an expense to the board of $20,000 per annam, or 851.79 per diem. In New York the cost of removing night soil and dead animals is $41,200 per annum, or $112.8 per day. ‘Thisdoes not embrace, how- ever, the expense of removing garbage, which is included in the contract for cleaning’ streets aud removing ashes. The number of dead animals removed annually in this city is about eleven thousand. For a more explicit account of the action of the board in disposing ot night soil I beg to refer your excellency my report, and especially to the admirable detailed statement with appendix submitted by Dr. Bliss, chairman of the sanitary police committee. ‘MARINE PRODUCTS.
