62 BULLETIN OF THE xNORTH CAROLINA BOARD (^F HEALTH. cieiitly long. Surely there must be some accumulated experience in this line of a disease that has been more or less prevalent for twenty years. Housing and feeding hogs would be uhimate economy, as all cases of sickness could be observed, and the animals at once separated from the herd. , Some such plan will have to be adopted, or North Carolina bacon will be scarce in the market. How far hog cholera has its effect upon other anintals or upon man is a question to be solved. It is hardly possible that so grave a disease does not affect the human family, either by the effluvia of pig pens or by the eating of animals who have died of it. Trichinosis, so far, is the only demonstrated instance. The counties reporting jails in bad condition and no effort at improvement are not many, but enough to show that more candid statements, or rather a higher standard of sanitary excellence, would show far more. Six counties report improvements in jail accommodations, and many counties have introduced methods of heating of some kind. Nearly all the diseases above enumerated are dangerous to the public health and can be prevented, or mitigated, or limited by intelligent and vigilant supervision. The executive authority of the County Superintendent of Health ought to be increased so as to enable him to act in time of need, so as to prevent the spread of disease. Summary of Reports from County Superintendents and Correspondents, for the moniti of December. [The mark * is placed opposite the names of voluntary correspondents.] Alamance.—Dr. Geo. W. Long, Graham. Influenza, (epidemic catarrh) complicated largely, with rheumatism and bronchitis, have prevailed in this immediate vicinity. One case of severe puerperal septicaemia.
