9 9, BULLETIN OF THE NORTH CAROLINA BOARD OF HEALTH. in bottle fed babies, as well as of liberty is thus clearly shown. And, too, this was before the value of sterilization and pasteurization of milk wasknoAvn. As we cannot hope for such care and vigilance in general we must look to some method that will correct lapses in their application. We find this method in pasteurization, which, while it does not iijjure the nutritive qualities of the milk does effectually destroy its patho2:enic qualities. It is a simple and cheaj) method, easily followed, and we believe that its routine use in all cases of artificially fed infants, from the beginninj^ to the end of the warm season, not waiting until disease appears to introduce it, would be the means of saving numberless young lives, and saving at the same time an infinite amount of trouble and anxietv on the part of pai'ents besides. In the light of the facts familiar to every well informed medical man it does seem to us clearly the duty of every family physician to impress upon the motlie!S among his patients the value of pasteurization in prev_enting diseases among babies fed by hand. If there is any one thing in this world of ours that we can count on with certainty it is the love of a mother for her offspring, and if she can be made to realize that by thus treating the milk, and at the same tinie seeing that the bottle and its accompaniments are kept clean, her little one will, Avith reasonable certainty, be protected against much sickness and perhai)S death, she Avill be more than apt to carry out the directions. The reader desiring more detailed information on this subject is referred to a paper on ''The Infectiousness of Milk,'' printed in the January number of the Bulletin. Summary of Reports from County Superintendents of Health for April, 1897. ^Eighty-two counties reporting). In the blanks on which these reports are made the folloAving items are called for: 1. The number of cases of small-pox, measles, whooping cough, scarlatina, diphtheria, typhoid fever, pernicious malarial fever, hemorrhagic malarial fever, yellow fever and cholera which* have occurred in the county during the past month. 2. The diseases which have been prevalent in the county, and in what parts. 3. Epidemics among domestic animals. 4. Remarks as to special unsanitary conditions in the county. In few counties do ])hysicians generally report these details to the Superintendent, though furnished with blanks for that purpose, and in most cases he has to depend upon himself alone in making his report. Details as to the jails, houses of correction, and county homes are also given in these reports, and will be found tabulated on other pages. Alamance—Dr. R. A. Freeman, Burlington. Mumps and whooping cough in some parts. Several cases of typhoid fever. Alkxaxde:^—Dr. T. F. Stevenson, Taylorsville. No epidemic. The Yadkin river in the northeastern paj't of the county is in bad sanitary condition. • The people up and down the river are having chills. Alleghany—Dr. Robt. Thompson, Sparta.
