^BULLETIN OF THE NORTH CAROLINA BOARD OF HEALTH. IO3 Forsyth—T>x. D. N. Dalton, Winston. No report. Franklin—Dr. E. S. Foster, Louisburg. No report. Gaston—Dr. J. H. Jenkins, Dallas. The Superintendent being himself sick with typhoid fever, Dr. C. A. Carpenter reports that the health of the county is very good—only a few cases of fever. Jail and poor-house have no sickness. Gate^—No Board of Health. Graham—'^o Board of Health. Granville — Dr. Patrick Booth, Oxford. There have been reported six cases of measles, three of whooping-cough, and ten of typhoid fever. Intermittent and remittent fevers are the prevailing diseases. The sanitary condition of the county is good. The people are using the Superintendent of Health gradually more, as needed. The sanitary condition of the public buildings is good. Greene—Dx. E. H. Sugg, Snow Hill. Malarial and typhoid fevers have prevailed, and there has been almost an epidemic of follicular tonsillitis. Blind-staggers has been epidemic among horses. The sanitary condition of the county has been tolerably good; that of the public buildings good. Guilford—Dr. E. R. Michaux, Greensboro. No report. Halifax—Xyx. A. B. Pierce, Weldon. Malarial and typho-malarial fevers have prevailed in some portions. The sanitary condition of the county is good. Very little intermittent fever. There is some improvement in the condition of the public buildings. There is more attention paid to the inmates in providing diet for the sick, such as a supply of milk. Harnett—1^0 Board of Health. Haywood—Dr. J. H. Way, Waynesville. No report. Henderson—Dr. W. B. Reese, Henderson-ville. No report. Hertford—'^o Board of Health. Hyde—Board of Health. Iredell—Dx. M. W. Hill, Statesville. The sanitary condition of the county has been ex- ceptionally good. There have been a few cases of typhoid and malarial fevers, cholera-morbus, whooping-cough, follicular sore throaty etc. It is thought doubtful about the above being a case of genuine diphtheria. The sanitary condition of the public buildings is very-good. There is some probability of some improvement in the jail in the near future. The saloons of the town are closed, and the indications are that there will be fewer inmates of the jail in time to come, now that there are fewer temptations to indulge in the maddening potations that are sold over the average bar. I am told that there is a very potent chemical fluid of some character used by the whiskey-trade, a few drops of which is sufficient to make three gallons of wine, and that this chemical sells for four dollars per ounce. I also know the man who is said to be the agent for it in Iredell county. If men will drink^ the trade ought to be compelled, as far as possible, to furnish pure, unadulterated liquor; and the use of chemicals and other poisons ought to be made punishable by law; and also» that there ought to be a chemist whose business it would be to test by analysis all liquors put on the market. Certainly, the goveinment ought to protect its citizens as far as possible^ here, as well as in all contagious diseases. The whiskey trade is a fearful evil in this land of ours, and it is destroying, with the aid and sanction of the government, State and National, thousands of the best of citizens annually. Yet, in the face of all this, sober, intelligent men will contend to the bitter end for the rights of the saloon and trade at large; and some of these very men, at the same time advocate the cause of the poor inebriate; that it is the duty of the State to care for him, and provide a place where he may be treated, and, if possible, cured. This seems to me to be philanthrophy gainsaid—advocating evil that good may come, or give rise to an opportunity to do good. But I close. Pardon me for troubling you on this line; but I do think that the profession might do much towards slaying and mitigating the whiskey evil, if properly awakened to the enormity of it.
