TWELFTH BIENNIAL REPORT OF THE NORTH CAROLINA BOARD OF HEALTH 1907-1908. The past two jears^ from the sanitary point of view, have been uneventful. Beyond an outbreak of typhoid fever of unusual severity in the little village of Council, Bladen County, extending through two seasons, but limited in extent because of the small population, there has been no epidemic worthy of the name. Smallpox has continued to crop out at various times and points, but has been decidedly less in extent than for several years, and of the same extremely mild type. The most noteworthy event of the past biennial period is the establishment of the State Sanatorium for Tuberculosis. The General Assembly of 1907 passed an act authorizing its establishment, and appropriated $15,000 for the purchase of a site and erection of buildings and $5,000 annually for its support. While the amount appropriated was altogether inadequate, it was nevertheless the beginning of what we hope and have reason to believe will develop into an institution of great value in the crusade now waging all over the civilized world against man's most deadly enemy. Considerable difficulty was found in securing a satisfactory site, but finally an excellent location with a clear title, in the pine-clad sandhills at Montrose, on the Aberdeen and Rockfish Railroad, eight miles from Aberdeen, just across the Moore County line in Cumberland, was obtained. We doubt if a site more nearly ideal for the purpose can be found east of the Mississippi. With a capacity of thirty-four, it was opened for patients in Xovember, 1908, and has already done good work. For an account of the work of the Board in detail, the reader is referred to the pages following.
