Report of Board of Health


To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Aldermen, City of Melrose :-


Gentlemen :- The Board of Health respectfully submits herewith its annual report for the year ending December 31, 1914.


DISEASES DANGEROUS TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH.


A considerable number of additions to the list have been made by the State Board of Health during the year making the full list now required by law to be reported to the Board of Health as follows, viz:


Actinomycosis, anterior poliomyelitis, anthrax, Asiatic cholera, chicken-pox, diphtheria, dog-bite (requiring anti-rabic treatment), dysentery, a.zamebic, b. bacillary, epidemic cerebro-spinal meningitis, German measles, glanders, hookworm disease, infectious diseases of the eye :- a. ophthalmia neonatorum, b. suppurative conjunctivitis, c. tra- choma, leprosy, malaria, measles, mumps, pellagra, plague, rabies, scarlet fever, septic sore throat, smallpox, tetanus, trichinosis, tuberculosis (all forms), typhoid fever, typhus fever, whooping cough, yellow fever.


The Board of Health of this City aims to secure a safe isolation of all cases of scarlet fever, diphtheria, typhoid fever and tuberculosis, either in hospitals or in their homes, if there are conveniences at home and the house is suitable arranged and of sufficient size, that is, the Board seeks isolation of patients and seeks to avoid unnecessary quarantine of whole households. The Board has followed this practice for many years and it has been found reasonably safe for the community in general.


There is a widespread fear of the danger from infected things, which the best scientific opinion of the day considers groundless, the real danger being from the patient rather than from things.


There is another widespread fallacy existing which demands attention. That is the necessity of disinfection and its efficacy in the prevention of the spread of contagious diseases. The experience of the Board has proven over and over again that the public danger is not from lax quar- antine or from infected things but rather from mild and unrecognized cases which are never reported to the Board of Health.


Diphtheria. There was a total of eighty-six cases of diphtheria during the year with three deaths. A very large number of these cases occurred during the last quarter and the outbreak was especially difficult to handle from the fact that a large number of cases were very mild. Also there were a large number of nasal cases which were supposed to be suffering from common colds. The lesson for the public, of this outbreak, is the danger of mild cases and especially of nasal cases, Out of this total of eighty-six cases, twenty were taken care of in hospitals.


Scarlet Fever. There were sixty-nine cases of scarlet fever as against seventy-one in 1913 and three deaths, where there were none in 1913. Of this number, 28 were cared for in hospitals.


55


HEALTH REPORT


Typhoid Fever. There were five cases of typhoid fever and two deaths. All of these cases probably were contracted outside of Melrose


Tuberculosis. The total number of cases on the list Dec. 31, 1913 was twenty. Sixteen new cases were reported during the year and to this number should be added three cases of tubercular meningitis not reported during life, also two out of town cases not reported during life, dying suddenly in Melrose, making a total of forty-one cases. The disposition of these cases was as follows, viz: deaths, all forms, fourteen; removals from City, six; arrested cases, five; leaving sixteen active cases on our records Dec. 31, 1914 as against twenty on Dec. 31, 1913.


Of fourteen reported deaths in the city, four were non-residents, making the actual number of deaths of Melrose residents during the year ten. Eight cases have been maintained at various State and local hospitals, also two non-residents having a settlement in Melrose have been maintained in hospitals. One case has been maintained at home. There has been a total expenditure of $885.91.

HEALTH REPORT


Bacteriology. The Board of Health has enjoyed the services of the Bacteriological Laboratory of the State Department of Health. A large number of cultures have been examined for suspicious throat cases for diagnosis, and for all cases of diphtheria for release. Examinations of sputum in suspected cases of tuberculosis, of blood and other secretions in the diagnosis of malaria, typhoid fever and ophthalmia neonatorum have been made.


Isolation Hospital. All cases of diphtheria and scarlet fever, which could not be satisfactorily isolated at home have been removed to hospitals. Most of them to the Malden Contagious Hospital. There were twenty cases of diphtheria and twenty-eight of scarlet fever cared for at hospitals.


Antitoxin. Antitoxin furnished by the State Board has been dis- tributed freely to the physicians for the treatment of diphtheria. The observation of this Board covering a period of several years is that all cases recognized early and treated with antitoxin are promptly cured.


Vaccination. Vaccine virus furnished by the State Board of Health has been distributed to the physicians and the Board received returns of successful vaccinations. Forty-five successful vaccinations were per- formed in this office and one hundred and seven pupils examined and certificates issued.


Disinfection. Disinfection by formaldehyde gas at the termination or removal of all cases of scarlet fever, diphtheria, thypoid fever, tuber- culosis and infantile paralysis is required.

HEALTH REPORT


MILK INSPECTION


The following from the report of 1913 is here inserted as worthy of repetition :


"The Board desires to say in this connection that the reports of the Milk Inspector show that on the whole we are getting a very high quality of milk. It is unfortunate that the public discussion of the milk question has aroused such a general distrust on the part of the consumers of the quality of milk.


The quality of milk is not only much better than it was several years ago, but it is a fact that it is not only for the sick and children, but for all people one of the most economical foods that can be bought and used.


It is also unfortunate that so many people have discontinued the use of fresh milk for various brands of condensed milk which as a rule are less nutritious and more expensive.


There is another matter which rests wholly with the consumer; that is the proper care of milk after it is received. One hour's exposure in the hot sun may utterly spoil a milk which was sweet and in good con- dition when delivered."

The work of Milk Inspector has been performed by me as Director of the Co-operative Board of Health Organization and Laboratory organ- ized by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and supervised by four professors from Technology and the United States Public Health Service.


II. SCOPE OF THE WORK


The inspection of milk samples has had two objects : (1) the securing of clean milk through the bacteriological analysis; (2) the securing of unadulterated milk through the chemical analysis. This work has no relation to the prevention of the spread of disease through infected milk.

III. COLLECTION OF MILK SAMPLES


Samples of milk have been collected monthly from each dealer de- livering by wagon and every other month from stores, restaurants, etc., not selling in original packages.


Collections are made at irregular times and the sample is usually a pint or quart bottle intended for a customer. Other samples taken from cans or dip tanks are poured into sterilized bottles furnished by the collector. These samples are transported, packed in ice, to the laboratory by automobile and analyzed promptly.


IV. METHODS AND RESULTS IN EFFORT TO OBTAIN CLEAN MILK.


"The bacteria count" or the number of bacteria per cubic centi- meter has been determined by standard methods and reported as an indicator of the sanitary quality of the milk. The report of the Com- mission on Milk Standards, which has been published by the United States Public Health Service (reprint No. 141) makes the following authori- tative statements: (1) The interests of the public health demand that the control of milk supplies, both as to production and distribution, shall include regular laboratory examinations of milk by bacteriological methods. (2) That Milk with a high bacteria count is not necessarily harmful; but when used as a food, particularly for children, is a hazard too great to be warranted. Milk with a high bacteria count, therefore, should be condemned. Milk with small numbers of bacteria is presumed to be wholesome, unless there is reasonable ground for suspecting that it has been exposed to contagion. Table No. 1, which is printed below, shows the nature of the samples obtained from wagons and stores during the year. The total of 285 samples of milk taken without warning were analyzed bacteriologically. Of the 246 taken from wagons, eighty-three or more than one-third contained less than 10,000 bacteria per cubic centimeter, which is one of the standards set for certified milk. Of the samples taken from stores only three or 7.7% contained as few bacteria.

HEALTH REPORT


As compared with the analyses of 1913, there is a decided improve- ment in the samples taken from wagons, while the record of the samples taken from stores was poorer in 1914, than in 1913. I believe that the marked improvement in the milk taken from wagons is due to the pub- licity of milk analyses and the consequent interest that the milk dealers have been taking in the reports mailed to them by the Board of Health. The poor showing of the samples from stores is largely due to the more extended taking of samples from stores where milk is served from dip tanks or cans, and the failure to take samples from stores where milk is sold in the original bottle. The question of publicity of milk analyses was discussed by the Commission (referred to above) which states its position as follows: "When proper standards and regulations are es- tablished and adequate facilities furnished for laboratory work, it is believed that the laboratory tests will give an index of the character of the milk delivered to the public by milk sellers, which is entirely fair and impartial. There can be no objection to publicity under such circum- stances."


The individual records of the various milk dealers has been shown in two ways: (1) the simpler but less accurate method of averaging the results of all analyses has been followed in Table No. 2 given below. The objection to this method of rating milk supplies is that one or two bad samples might contain so many bacteria that the entire record for the year would be bad.

(2) A more accurate method of rating milk supplies is by giving the number of months during which the results of bacterial analyses were excellent, good or bad. This table will require more study than Table No. 2.
