Diphtheria
There were 54 cases reported during the year, the lowest num- ber reported since 1912. Of this number 11 cases were cared for at Brighton Hospital. There were four deaths in all from this disease, three in the city and one in the hospital. Two hundred and forty-seven cultures were taken. From these cultures some of the contacts were found to be carriers.
The "Schick" test was given in the grammar schools during the past year in co-operation with the School Department, the School Physician and school nurses assisting. Of the 3,749 pupils schicked, 3,613 readings were taken and only 779 pupils were found to be immune, 17.1 per cent under 10 years of age and 26.2 per cent over 10 years of age.
Scarlet Fever
There were 247 cases in the city. Majority of these were chil- dren. The cases were of such a mild type that they were not dis- covered in time to prevent contact with other children. This was especially in South Quincy.
There was an outbreak in the first and second grades in the Adams School during October and November. In an endeavor to check the spread of the disease, members of the Department of Health visited the school each morning to get a list of the absen- tees. The home was visited to find the reason for the child's absence. If a suspicious case was found it was referred to the Health Commissioner or else the family called in their family physician. The parents of the children gave very fine co-operation. The children in school were inspected every morning by the school physician and school nurse.
A new anti-toxin for treatment of scarlet fever was used for the first time during 1926. Wonderful results were reported from
139
REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
physicians who had used it. There were three deaths in the city, two being in the same family, both under five years and one in Brighton Hospital. Thirty-eight cases sent to Brighton Hospital.
Measles
A decided decrease is noted from last year's report. Most of these cases occurred in April, May and June and affected prin- cipally Wards 5 and 6. Two cases were taken to the hospital, one death resulted from this disease.
Whooping Cough
Less than half as many cases were reported this year than last, with three deaths.
Chicken Pox-Mumps
There was a decided increase in the number of cases reported in both of these diseases.
Lobar Pneumonia
Twenty-six deaths occurred out of the 44 cases reported. Major- ity of these were middle-aged people.
Typhoid Fever
There were eight cases during the year. All cases were in- vestigated. One case due to drinking impure water, another eat- ing raw oysters, while the remaining cases were not able to give any definite history regarding the cause.
One cerebrospinal meningitis case was cared for at Boston Dis- pensary.
Of the two cases of anterior poliomyelitis reported one was re- moved to the Children's Hospital.
In connection with the contagion follow up work, 1,181 visits were made, including the taking of cultures, checking up quaran- tine rules and releases.
Certificates for re-admission into school for contacts as well as for those who have been in quarantine were issued from this office.
A new set of quarantine regulations were adopted during the year. The minimum requirements being reduced in many instances
In closing I wish to thank the doctors of Quincy, members of the department and yourself for generous co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
CATHERINE F. COLEMAN, R.N., Contagious Nurse.

The work at the Dispensary during the year has been interesting and progress obtained along the line of treatment and prevention of tuberculosis.
During the year, through the cooperation of several physicians of Quincy together with Rev. M. J. Owens, a very interesting and conclusive survey of the students attending St. John's Parochial School was made. In this school there are about five hundred (500) students and the standard of our survey was the same used by all recognized authorities.
We found a very large per cent (18 or 20) of these examined coming into the classification of (10 per cent or over) underweight. These children were then given the Von Perquet Test and X-rays taken of their chests. A large per cent showed conditions which are consistent with and definitely understood to be early signs of tuberculosis.
If similar conditions exist in the public schools of this city, and I am of this opinion, there are now some 2,000 children in our schools that are in the "so-called 10 per cent underweight class."
The only way to know is to make a public school survey, such as is being done by many of the cities of the Commonwealth, and which I strongly recommend.
In closing I wish to thank yourself and Miss Russell, the dis- pensary nurse, for your willing help in the work.
Respectfully yours,
C. J. LYNCH,
Dispensary Physician.

CITY OF QUINCY
REPORT OF CHILD WELFARE PHYSICIAN
JANUARY 1, 1927.
DR. FRED A. BARTLETT, Health Commissioner.
DEAR DOCTOR :- The report of my work during the past year as Child Welfare Physician is as follows.
The individual clinics showed a decrease in attendance but the total attendance showed an increase because of the fact that the clinic in Ward 3 was not opened until October, 1925. The decrease in attendance was partially due to two reasons:
1. The policy of closing the clinics promptly at 4:15 P. M.
2. It was not possible to get so much assistance from graduate students of the Harvard Medical School.
The actual figures as to clinic attendance, mortality and cases referred to other agencies can be seen in the report of the Child Welfare Nurse. Almost five times as many babies were referred to private physicians as to hospital clinics.
The comparative tables of clinic attendance for 1925 and 1926 are as follows:
1925
Ward 1 2 per cent increase
Ward 28 per cent increase
Ward 3. Opened in October
Ward 16 per cent increase
Ward 5. First complete year of operation
Ward 6. 36 per cent increase
Total 50 per cent increase
1926
23 per cent decrease
0.1 per cent decrease First complete year of operation
32 per cent increase
13 per cent decrease
28 per cent increase
3 per cent increase
At the present time physicians from the graduate school of Har- vard Medical School are in charge of the clinic in Ward 6.
The infant mortality for 1925 was 61 as compared with 53 for 1924. The infant mortality for 1926 is probably somewhat higher than that for 1925. There were 64 deaths under one year as com- pared to 53 in 1925. Thirty-five deaths occurred during the first two weeks of life and 38 in the first month. These may probably be ascribed to developmental conditions, prematurity, congenital debility, etc. There were 48 stillborn babies in 1925 as compared to 46 in 1924.
Until accurate birth returns are completed it is impossible to say whether the percentage of deaths due to congenital or puerperal causes is higher or lower than 1925.
There were five deaths under the age of 1 year due to contagious disease. There were six due to gastro-intestinal diseases. There were nine due to birth injury.
There was a marked increase in baby deaths in Wards 3 and 4. There was a slight decrease in Wards 2 and 6.
Toward the last of the year the Division of Mental Hygiene of the Department of Mental Diseases established a Habit Clinic in the Quincy Dispensary. This clinic is intended for the correction of certain physical habits, mental conditions or personality traits and for social conduct.
143
REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
Recommendations for Improvement
1. Securing more suitable locations for the Wollaston and West Quincy Clinics.
2. Establishing of a Pre-School Age Clinic.
3. Securing another full-time Child Welfare Nurse.
4. Establishing of a "Posture Class" for children suffering from postural defects.
5. The institution of a campaign for immunizing children of pre-school age against diphtheria.
6. Establishment of a "Health Centre" for the correlation and centralization of prenatal work, infant welfare clinics, tuberculosis prevention, dental hygiene, pre-school clinics, posture and nutrition classes, habit clinics and diphtheria prevention.
Efficient public health work means directly a lowered death and sickness rate and indirectly a lowered tax rate for that community wherein the work is done.
In closing I should like to thank Mrs. Fowler, the Child Welfare Nurse, for her interest and co-operation, the personnel of the Health Department, the Fore River Cluub, the West Quincy and Atlantic Councils of the K. of C., the Presbyterian Church of South Quincy, the M. E. Church of Atlantic, Woodward Institute, the Quincy and the Wollaston Women's Clubs.
Very truly yours,
EDMUND B. FITZGERALD, M.D., Child Welfare Physician.

REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
MORTALITY STATISTICS Number of Deaths and Death Rates
During the year 1926, there were 533 deaths which occurred in Quincy. This number was an increase of 49 over 1925 when there were 484 deaths. There was also an increase in the death rate. Based on the estimated population of 62,955 on July 1st (mid year), the death rate for 1926 was 8.5 per 1000 population as com- pared with 7.98 in 1925 which was the lowest rate in the history of Quincy.
SEX Of the 533 deaths in 1926, 290 or 54.4 per cent were males as compared with 50.2 per cent in 1925. The proportion of males in the population, as shown by the United States Census of 1920 was 50.6 per cent. The estimates for 1926 were 31,855 males and 31,100 females. Based on these estimates the death rate per 1000 for males was 9.1 and for females 7.8.
AGE Of the 533 deaths in 1926, 64 or 12 per cent were of infants under one year of age as compared with 11 per cent in 1925. Among the deaths registered during 1926 there were 4 over 90 years of age, 1 of whom was a male and 3 were females. The oldest was 100 years, 1 month, 20 days. The average age at death fell in the 60 to 64 year group.
NATIVITY 311 or 58.4 per cent of the decedents whose nativity was reported on the death certificate were native.
SEASONAL DISTRIBUTION OF DEATHS The largest number of deaths in any one month occurred in December when there were 62, and next largest was in May, when there were 57. The lowest number occurred in August when 32 were registered.
INFANT MORTALITY The deaths in 1926 were 64 per 1000 live births. The infant mortality rates since 1910 are shown below:

CITY OF QUINCY
CAUSES OF DEATHS:
PNEUMONIA caused 49 deaths in 1926 or 77 per 100,000 pop- ulation. It was responsible for 48 deaths or 74 per 100,000 pop- ulation in 1925.
HEART DISEASE. The deaths from heart diseases in 1926 numbered 124 or 23.3 per cent of all deaths or 194 per 100,000 population as compared with 114 deaths or 23.6 per cent of all deaths or 190 per 100,000 population in 1925.
TUBERCULOSIS in its various forms claimed 28 victims in 1926, of whom 25 died from tuberculosis of the respiratory sys- tem. Deaths from tuberculouis constituted 5.3 per cent of all deaths in 1926. The rate per 100,000 population for 1926 was 44.5 as compared with a rate of 48 in 1925.
CEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE and apoplexy caused 41 deaths or almost 8 per cent of all deaths or a death rate of 65 per 100,000 population. In 1925 there were 42 deaths from this cause corresponding to almost 9 per cent of deaths from all causes or a death rate of 70 per 100,000 population.
CANCER and other malignant tumors caused 56 deaths in 1926 corresponding to a death rate of 89 per 100,000 population as compared with 51 deaths with a rate of 85 in 1925.
BRIGHT'S DISEASE and nephritis were the cause of 44 deaths in 1926 corresponding to a rate of 70 per 100,000 population as compared with 36 deaths and a rate of 60 per 100,000 in 1925.
CONGENITAL MALFORMATIONS and diseases peculiar to early infancy caused 32 deaths in 1926, a rate of 51 per 100,000 population compared with 27 deaths and a rate of 45 in 1925.
EXTERNAL CAUSES. The number of deaths from external causes was 40, with a rate of 63 per 100,000 population as com- pared with 38 deaths in 1925. The rate was the same as 1926, namely 63 per 100,000. Automobile accidents were the cause of 9 of these deaths in 1926 as compared with 10 in 1925.
