REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.


"TO THE SELECTMEN AND CITIZENS OF MILFORD :-


The latter part of September, 1918, Milford was visited. by a particularly virulent form of influenza. It increased in severity throughout the month of October and well into No- vember. The situation was well handled by the joint action. of the Public Safety Committee and Health Board. The use of the Y. M C. A. building as an Emergency Hospital was of- fered and accepted, and quickly fitted up as such by the com- mittee with the able assistance of the Red Cross ladies who made the beds which the Draper Co. so kindly loaned, pro- cured bedding, blankets, screens, and the innumerable equip- ment necessary. The hospital was intended for those whose home surroundings did not permit of isolation or proper care of the patient. It was under the supervision of the physi- cian of the Health Board until he was called into service, and then it was under the care of the chairman of the Board of Health and Dr. Wolfram of the United States Public Health. Service.


The State Board of Health sent out a corps of nurses to aid in the epidemic, and four were put in charge of the hos- pital ward and the others on outside calls. Dr. Leary's serum. was sent to the Board and Dr. Lally inoenlated the hospital corps, and many townspeople availed themselves of the oppor- tunity to take the vaccine treatment as a preventive.


There were various courtesies extended to us in our trou- ble which we feel call for special mention.


Mr. Bristow Draper called personally upon the secretary and offered his assistance in any way needed at the outbreak of the epidemic. To Mr. Frank Bixby; Supt. of Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., and his nurses, and our local nurses who


79


ably and untiringly worked day and night to alleviate suffer- ing and save lives we owe a deep debt of gratitude. Many patriotic citizens generously gave the use of their autos for transporting nurses on calls, thus saving endless time and ex- pense. Through the kindness of Mr. G. W. Wood and Select- man Charles V. Waitt an ambulance was at the constant dis- posal of the hospital needs. The telephone at the hospital was presided over by Mrs. F. H. Lally from eight in the morn- ing until late at night, and all calls for nurses given prompt attention, and she also acted as secretary.


In fact, every one was alive to the situation and the phy- sicians and Hospital corps worked harmoniously, and no words of ours are necessary to extol the noble work done by all concerned. The work of caring for the afflicted townsfolk was a shining star in the halo of all those who gave unstint- ingly of their'time and money and professional services.


We feel a tribute must be paid to one of the physicians who came to our assistance from his home city of Utica, N. Y, Dr. Wankel, who worked day and night in trying to save the suffering populace, until he fell a victim of "Flu" and was removed to a Boston hospital where he succumbed to pneumonia, a martyr to his calling. "He died that others might live." One of the nurses was taken at the same time, but after a long, hard sickness, fully recovered her health and was able to return to her home in Halifax.
