84 Noirni cakolina board of health REPORT OF DIRECTOR OP STATE LABORATORY OP HYGIENE. C. A. Shore, M.D., Director of the State Laboratory of Hygiene. The following is a report of the work done during the year ending May 31, 1912. A total of 14,815 specimens were examined as follows: Positive, ISlegative, 924 Sputum ........................................ 268 656 547 Diphtheria ..................................... 179 368 732 Widal.......................................... 310 422 132 Malaria ........................................ 4 128 48 Gonococci ...................................... 27 21 199 Rabies ......................................... 117 82 38 Pathology. 92 Urine. 10 Blood counts. 10 Gastric juice. 5 Pus. 16 Miscellaneous. 9,581 Peces ....................................................................................6,498 Hookworm ...................................2,342 Ascaris ...................................... 577 Trichocephalus ............................... 182 Hymenolepis ................................ 112 Strongyloides ................................ 39 Oxyuris ...................................... 9 Taenia saginata.............................. 2 Balantidium ................................. 1 2,489 Water. These examinations are all made free of charge except the examinations of pathological tissues and gastric and urinary analyses. There is a general increase in everything except in the number of specimens of feces examined. As is well understood, this does not mean a decrease in the interest taken in and the efficiency of the campaign against hookworm disease. On the contrary, great progress has been made, but during the past year most of the specimens have been examined in the county dispensaries. I think it is but just to call attention to the assistance which the State Laboratory of Hygiene has consistently and gladly given to the Hookworm Commission and to its very efficient Secretary, Dr. Perrell. The increase of 569 samples of water means a very considerable increase in work. Each analysis of water involves numerous chemical processes and bacteriological tests, and represents in reality a very large amount of work. I believe that our water analyses far exceed in number those of any similar health laboratory in the country, and unfortunately many of these analyses are in themselves of little value. Contrary to a widely accepted belief, specific disease germs such as the B. typhosus never originate in water, and though water may convey them, they are very rarely isolated from it. An inspection of the local conditions should tell more about a private water supply than a
