74 XOkTir CAROLIIsrA BOARD OF HEALTH Faison is deserving of the appreciation of this Society for his valuable efforts for the prevention of pellagra, one of the worst diseases with which we have to contend. Another matter which should probably be mentioned here is the successful culmination of the efforts of the American Medical Association, the American Public Health Association, the Committee of One Hundred, and other organizations to secure the appointment of a committee on public health in the United States Congress. Until recently all effort to secure the interest of the lower House in the National Assembly in public health matters has been very much hindered because of the absence of any committee whose special duty was to consider health matters. Public health resolutions and bills heretofore have been referred to the Committee on Interstate Commerce and have received but a small share of the attention of that committee. The Committee on Public Health of the United States Congress recently organized was the result of a motion introduced by Hon. E. W. Pou, representing the Fourth Congressional District. In securing the organization of this committee Mr. Pou has done much to promote the cause of public health and has honored his own State, and is due the gratitude of the North Carolina Medical Society. PRESENT STATVS OF THE STATE'S HEALTH WORK. The writer recently prepared, at the request of the Secretary of the Southern Sociological Congress, several charts illustrating the fundamental State health policies generally recognized and being developed in the Southern States. The charts are prepared from questionnaires submitted to the secretaries of the State Boards of Health and returned to the writer. The States of Tennessee, Georgia, and Louisiana did not reply to the inquiry, and it is for that reason that the names of those States do not appear on the charts. Chart No. 1. Shows the years in which ten Southern State Boards of Health were established, the present annual revenue of those boards, the provision for vital statistics in the States mentioned, and the year of establishment, and the number of analyses for the year 1912 of the State laboratories of hygiene of the ten States shown on the chart. The comparison of the work of the laboratories of hygiene as indicated on the charts needs a word of explanation: In some of the States all the examinations of stools for hookworm eggs are made in the laboratories of hygiene, and in other States a large part of such examinations are made in the field.
