Annual Report of the Board of Health
NEWBURYPORT, MASS., Dec. 31, 1915. To His Honor the Mayor and City Council,
Gentlemen: The Board of Health herewith submits its annual report for the year 1914, which shows the general health of the people of our city the past year to have been good, with the possible exception of the prevalence of a number of cases of diphtheria. This disease, always one to cause alarm in the household, is difficult to check once it is contracted. Starting practi- cally with the opening of the schools for the fall term, there were fifty-two cases for the year, thirty-eight of which were reported after October 12.
