34 NOKTFJ CAROLINA BOARD OF HEALTH. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE NORTH CAROLINA BOARD OF HEALTH FOR THE YEARS 1895-'96. The past year has been, I am happy to say, an uneventful one in sanitary matters. No epidemics of disease liave occurred, and small-pox, which has prevailed, more or less, over the whole conntry, has passed ns by entirely. Fortunate, indeed, is it that we have escaped such a visitation, for immense numbers of our people remain unvac-cinated, and your Secretary frankly admits that he cannot devise any method of materially reducing the number. The only thing that seems to have any effect whatever is the actual or supposed presence of the disease in a community, and whenever a scare is heard of the Superintendent of Health is urged to utilize it to the fullest extent and vaccinate as many as possible. Uut while our work has been chiefly routine, I believe it has been the most effective in the history of the Board. It has consisted, in large part, in continuing the distribution (already inaugurated at our last meeting) throughout tlie state, in various ways, of the health pamphlets with wdiich you are familiar. In compliance with your instructions, I added to the pamphlets published up to that time the excellent paper read before the Salisbury Health Conference by Dr. A. R. Wilson, of Greensboro, on The Im])ortance of Disinfecting the Bowel Discharges in Typhoid Fever,''supplementing it with the section of the law bearing on that disease, and a short account of the famous Plymouth epidemic. Acting upon the authority given me at our last annual meeting, I had printed 20,000 copies each of these articles : Prevention of Tuberculosis," Drinking Water in Its Relation to Malarial Diseases," and Instructions for
