Eighteenth Biennial Keport ' 59 Special Work on Inspection of Hotels, etc. Inspections: Hotels ............................................................................................284 Jails ................................................................................................105 Convict Camps ............................................................................59 State Institutions ......................................................................41 Total ............................................... 489 Compilation of Monthly Reports of County Quarantine Officers Number county reports ......................................................................................22,005 Homes visited ........................................................................................................14,238 Homes placarded ..................................................................................................24,400 Articles published ................................................................................................2,510 Census sent out ......................................................485 Census returned ....................................................................................................927 Schools visited ......................................................................................................1,174 Schools notified ...............................................................................................2,922 Smallpox notices posted ....................................................................................6,640 Lectures ..............................................................912 Indictments ..........................................................................................................88 Results Obtained Informing the Public of Disease Prevalence and Prevention During the two years there have been 52,472 (not including 100,976 cases of influenza) cases of communicable diseases handled by the machinery of the Bureau. The homes in which they occurred have been regulated by the quarantine officer as set forth under his duties, a priori. In addition to these homes, others in the school district where the diseases occured have been instructed as to their means of spread and control. This information is in leaflets which were distributed by the teacher to the children. Thus each community has been educated on epidemiological subjects. This procedure has likely prevented sickness; it has surely saved lives by awakening the mothers to the gravity of the disease. Lowering the Typhoid Death Rate Typhoid fever which is endemic and often epidemic in our State is a problem for the Bureau. The reduction in mortality and morbidity from this disease is one outstanding feature in North Carolina's health work. A demonstration in this field has been made. Results are seen in the table. V Year Cases Deaths 1914 ...... 8,390 ...... 839 1915 ...... 7,440 ...... 744 1916 ...... 7,000 ...... 700 1917 ...... 6,280 ...... 628 1918 ...... 5,020 ...... 502 1919 ...... 4,270 ...... 427 *1920 ...... 3,000 ...... 300 The great reduction in typhoid in North Carolina during the past two years has been due to 32 campaigns conducted by the Bureau of Epidemiology giving three free treatments to 88,000 people, and to the treatment of 25,748 * 1920 estimate. •
