OPTOMETRY Through eye-strain thousands lare wasting nervous energy equivalent to that consumed at _hard lsbor. Such sufferers can- . not understand why they should need glasses so long as they ““ses 50 well* “" Those who see best are most likely to suffer from strain—be- esuse if their optical defect is @0 great that the eyes cannot overcome it, the eyes give up {zying and the case becomes one poor sight. The ordinary test by letters is ~useful for determining sharpness _ of vision, but s absurd as a test Sfor eye-strajn. Scientific easurement of the sayes by a skilled op-tom-e-trist —a surveyor of light, if you please—and the correct adapta- «tlon of glasses, is the only, safe, sane and logical means of re- lieving eye-strain.

Lewis, made the following recommendations: That the culvert at Comstock pond be_completed. Turner pond acquired and culvert constructed through it. Rose place completed. Garfield avenue should be accepted as a public street. Large sewer ehould be laid through Garfield avenus and Laurel Hill ave- nue. Sherman street mear Canada bridge should be sewered. The outlet of Market street should be_changed. Short sewer should be bullt Golden street. Health Report. . The following was the report of the health officer: Every year throughout the state and nation renewed efforts are being made for the prevention of disease, especially in infants and young children. For the past -eleven years I have distributed every year to mothers of young chil- dren pamphlets on the care of infants and young children. Almost all of the deaths in infants during the summer from the several hot weather diseases arose from carelessness, ignorauce or accident. It therefore follows that the instruction of mothers is the surest way to save the infants. The same may be said of larger children and adults, ‘that some knowledge in sani- tation and the prevention of disease is essentlal to health, and that health is essential to the happiness and pros- perity of tne people. During the past year about the usual number of mis- cellaneous nuisances have been T ported; an increased number of cas of scarlet fever; more minor Com: municable diseases; less pneumonia; less malaria, and fewer diseases of in children. It has not been possible during my term as health officer, with the small appropriation made for expenses, to maintain an office devoted solely to héalth work or to keep extensive files of statistics for Afuture reference. ‘While all these improvements are now maintained by the majority of cities at a cost of from $2,500 to $3,000 year- 1y, We have managed to obtain excel- lent results, improved the sanitary condition of the city, avolded severe epldemics and have been exempt from smallpox for eleven and a half years. The clerical work in this department has increased very much during the past few years, and extra work has been 2dded by mew laws, both state and national, so that it would seem necessary in the near future that an ofice be established solely for health work, Communicable Diseases—Typhoid. During September two cases of ty- phold fever were reported in the city. Every effort was made to trace the origin of the disease, but without re- sult. Scarlet Fever. Only two cases of scarlet fever oc- curred in' the city until September, when five cases were reported in the county home. The children were re- moved to the hospital as soon as pos- sible after the disease was recognized, but other children were necessarily -exposed to the disease, and before the epidemic was finally checked 22 cases occurred in the county home. As soon as possible after the outbreak of the disease I obtained a supply of prophy- lactic vaccine with the intention of vaccinating the children in the coun- ty home and checking the epidemic, but the superintendent of the county home refused to have the vaccine used and the children continued to have the disease. During the fall and winter several cases of scarlet fever have oc- curred in large families and the vac- cine has been used with success in every case but one. where on account of a misunderstanding on the part of the attending physician the vaccine \was not used until three days of ex- Posure had elapsed, and the five other children in the family consequently contracted the disease. No ill effects arise from the vaccine and several large families of children have been grarantined with only the single case of scarlef fever. In November ane case occlirred in the Hobart avenue school, and the school was closed at once. ' Several other cases occurred, with one death. The school was not opened until January, after all the cases had subsided and the school building had been fumigated and thoroughly renovated. The Fourth grade in tho Bridge district was closed for three weeks on account of a case of scarlet fever,.and this Toom was thoroughly renovated before opeming. A case of scarlet fever occurred in a pupll of St. Mary's school the last of February. This school was closed for three weeks. Only one other case oc- curred in this school. Fifty-two cases of scarlet fever occurred in the city during the year. Diphtheria. Twenty-one cages of diphtheria oc- curred during the year, with five deaths; 161,000 units of antitoxin were used, which were furnished by tae state, and 12,000 units have been used since the state supply was exhausted. Mcasles and Minor Contagious Dis- ease: Very few cases of measles have oc- curred during the year, but German measles, mumps and chickenpox have been prevalent. Whooping cough has ‘been present during the year among the smaller children. Whooping cough serum has been used with success in some of the more severe cases. Tuberculosis. Forty-four cases of pulmonary tu- berculosis were reported during the year. There were 64 deaths from the ed to the Backus hospital Monda~ eve- ning in the auto-ambulance. Mr. Hol- lingsworth has a serious iliness. Miss Amy C. Lamb of -Twelfth street, who is employed in the office of the American Thread company, has returned after spending the Easter va- cation with her cousin, Mrs. Harcld E. Warner, of Springfield, Mass, Children Ory . FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA disease, four less than in 1913. Forty of these deaths occurred at the sana- torium. z Rabies, In October a case of rabies occurred in a dog at Thamesville and several other dogs were nitten. Later another ovcurred on Roosevelt avenue and two men were bitten. These men were taken to the Pasteur institute in New York city and ' given the Pasteur treatment as the law directs. No {1l effects resulted from the Cites. anitation. Aboue the usual number of nuisances were reported during the year. 1195 GAGER -} Funeral Director and Embalmer frmpt service day or night Tel, 642-2. Lady Assistant —— PURE, RICH BLOOD : - MADE BY HOOD' —_— ;. Pare blood enables the stomaek, liver and other digestive organs to do their work properly. Without it they are sluggish, there is loss of appetite, sometimes faintness, a de-~ ranged state of the intestines, and, in general, all the symptoms of a; ’m:‘ r illa makes pure blood, and this is why it is so very successful in the treatmeniof so many silments. Get it today. feet of new sewers were built. The Yantic Street sewer twas rebuilt and new sewers were laid in Harrison av- enue, Thames strest and Summit strest. Nothing has been done as vet towards accepting Garfleld avenue as a public street where a sewer is bad- ly needed. In order that a sewer be constructed in this street it is first necessary that the council accept the street as a public street. Laurel Hill avenue should be sewered beyond the Laurel Hill school house as several cellars are already built for new houses in this section with no chance for sewerage or even cess pools on ac- count of the rocky condition of the soil. Streets, During the past vear the macadam streets were olled as usual which is very effective in laying the dust dur- ing the summer months: The paved streets were kept swept and occa- sionally flueshed at night, which keeps them in fair condition. In Jamestown, New York, a city little larger than Norwich a new plan has been tried for the past two years, which is claimed to be very effective without additional expense to the city. The dutp of keeping all paved streets clean is dele- gated to the fire department, which is equipped with all necessary hose for that purpose. This, it is claimed, has resulted in clean streets without ex- pense to the city, and with no impair- ment in the service of the fire de-~ partment in case of fire. Water and lce. Although very little rain fell during the past season we had sufficient wa- ter for all purposes. The water of Stony Brook, on accouft of its recent construction, had a peculiar taste, but was safe for gomestic use. There was sufficient ice for all purposes harvest- ed on local ponds for the past year. All the ice ponds are in safe condition for good sanitary ice. Inspection of Schoal Children and Cer- tificates- About two hundred children have been examined for different minor ail- ments at my office and about fifty visits made to homes and school houses upon complaints of teachers. About five hundred certificates have Dbeen issued to children for return to school after absence of five days or more.
