Assessors of Milford.
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
In comparing the list of contagious diseases for this year and last, we note the increase of diphtheria to be 15 per cent. and scarlet fever 18 per cent. This is not only true of Milford but of other towns throughout the state.
I cannot speak too highly of services rendered by the school nurse, Miss Lillian Sinclair, who, by following up of absentees, has detected incipient cases and possible carriers.
Through the generosity of the Red Cross which furnished the necessary funds, the Public schools have had the services of a school nurse for one year at no expense to the Town. I believe the school nurse a necessity and a progressive step in Public Health and Welfare work.
Tuberculosis is on the increase locally, twenty deaths being recorded from all forms of the disease during the past year, which means that there are undoubtedly 150 undiscovered cases in our midst. The dispensary has 16 cases under observation at present. Miss Nora Rowell, the dispensary nurse has visited the home cases and rendered efficient service.
