TUBERCULOSIS
During 1939 there were 7 deaths from tuberculosis, 6 from pulmonary tuberculosis and 1 from other forms.
All patients ill with the disease coming to the attention of the board have either been supervised at their homes by the public health nurses, or have been placed in sanatoria when such treatment was needed.
The pavilion at the Contagious Hospital was opened from June 26, 1939 to September 2, 1939, as a Preventorium for child- ren who were undernourished or lived in families where tuber- culosis existed.
During this time 106 children were residents at the Preven- torium for a total of 1212 days, the average stay being 17.5 days. Much good was accomplished among these children, marked improvement being observed in their physical condition and it should be maintained each summer.
DIPHTHERIA IMMUNIZATION
The diphtheria immunization program was continued dur- ing the year and applied to pre-school children up to the Junior High grade. The same arrangements were in force as in prev- ious years and clinics were established in the schools on October 14, and October 21, 1939, during which time 459 children were inoculated.
257
BOARD OF HEALTH
These immunizations were accomplished with the use of alum precipitate toxoid in a single dose and no abscess oc- curred following these inoculations.
OPEN AIR SCHOOL
This school was continued during the school year 1938 and 1939 with an attendance of 16 children, with successful results, educationally, and continued improvement in the physical con- dition of the children. After the summer vacation it was re- opened in September 1939 for the school year of 1939 and 1940.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK L. MORSE, Medical Inspector and Bacteriologist.
