Section 2. This act shall take effect upon its passage. (Approved May 17, 1916.)
It is to be hoped that this further reminder will serve to of his observations to the Board of Health, which reviews the report and in turn, issues a license to anyone who complies with the law.
Reporting of diseases dangerous to public health.
The Board of Health has endeavored to notify each citizen about the law for reporting communicable diseases to the Board of Health by forwarding, through the school children, the following postcard which is addressed to the local Board of Health.
On Dec. 15, 1914, the following diseases were declared by the State Department of Health to be Dangerous to the Public Health and so re- portable by law. Householders and physicians must now give immediate notice to the Secretary of the Rutland Board of Health of all cases of :--- Actinomycosis

It is to be hoped that this further reminder will serve to influence the reporting of all cases of the disease above men- tioned, and particular attention is called to the fact that physicians cannot be held responsible for the extension of epidemics when cases of contagious diseases are allowed to run their course without any physician being called to attend the patient.
Vaccination.
In addition to the long standing rules in regard to vaccin- ation, attention is called to the following paragraph, quoted from the Public Health Bulletin of the State Department of Health, Published November, 1916, and signed by Henry C. Attwill, Attorney General.
R. L., c. 75, sect. 139, which is enforceable only by boards of health of cities and towns, compels a personal examination by a physician, and a statement that in his opinion the physical condition of a person is such that his health would be endangered by vaccination, in order to avoid the require- ments of the chapter. Under this section no cause need be assigned by the physician for his statement.
Inspection of Meat.
It is the duty of the Board of Health to annually nominate an inspection of meat to the State Department of Health. If the nomination is approved by the State Department of Health, the person named by the local Board of Health receives his ap- pointment from the State Board of Health.
65
Mr. Clinton Scott performed the duties of this office in the carly months of the year, and subsequently Mr. Leroy Putnam was nominated by the local Board of Health and appointed by the State Department of Health to this office.
Anterior poliomyelitis or Infantile Paralysis.
During the remarkable epidemic of Infantile Paralysis which overran the eastern states during the summer of 1916, no case of this disease was reported in this town, there being very few other instances of freedom from this disease in any towns in the Commonwealth.
Abolition of the Common Drinking Cup.
The Board of Health desires to call attention to a State law under the general authorization given by law in 1910 as fol- lows :
"It shall be unlawful to provide a common drinking cup
in in any public school or place."
Therefore the Board directs that each school child shall be provided with an individual cup whenever there is no public fountain to provide drinking water.
District Nurse.
At a meeting of the Board of Health on January 24, 1917,. it voted unanimously "to recommend that the town raise and appropriate ($250.) two hundred and fifty dollars toward the salary of a district nurse for a trial period of six months, which sum is to be advance provided the balance of her salary and expense is secured from other sources."
Attention is called to the unusal need of a district nurse in our town. Such a nurse could be employed as school nurse truant officer, agent and inspector for the Board of Health, as well as on cases of illness and accident where short daily visits alone are required.

Tuberculosis.
To an ever increasing degree Rutland is brough into con- tact with the disease Tuberculosis. It is gratifying that this contact has not noticably increased the number of cases of the disease amoung the permanent residents, but the Board of Health wishes to remind the townspeople that this disease persists in being infectious, that exposure to the infecting germ, directly or indirictly, is dangerous to health, and that the avenues of infection should be recognized and eliminated, so that the general physical welfare of the town may not deterior- ate, and so that expenditures to overcome the consequences of infection may not be necessary either publicly or individ- ually.
Open cases of tuberculosis are not confined solely to the transient, health-seeking population. Consequently, sanitary regulations, in order to be completely effective, must include all cases of open Tuberculosis in the town.
Attention is called to the fact that the State Department of Health has declared that "householders and physicians must give immediate notice to the local Board of Health of all forms of Tuberculosis."
A comprehensive programme to guard against the spread of this disease in this town must include :-
1) Reporting of all cases of tuberculosis to the local Board of Health.
2) The removal of young children from contact with open cases of tuberculosis occuring in parents or in other adults in the same house.
3) Scroupulous cleanliness of quarters and neatness o persons caring for the sick.
4) Frequent examinations of children of tuberculou parents and of other members of household.
67
5) Careful scrutiny, in schools, of children having tuberculous parents and prompt exclusion from ordinary school rooms of infected children.
6) Freedom of inspection by agent of the Board of Health of homes harbouring cases of tuberculosis, and authority to compel proper personal conduct of the tuberculate, and authority to urge proper cleanliness of the home.
7) Prohibition of premiscuous spitting and the disposal of all infections excretions by burning or by chemicals.
8) Registration of laundresses who accept possibly in- fected pieces, and the instruction of them in regard to proper methods of performing this work to avoid infection to anyone.
9) Thorough cleaning of quarters and bedding after occupancy by a person sick with tuberculosis. (Disinfection by sulphur, formaldehyde gas etc., as practised formerly, is now conisdered insufficient.)
10) Reporting of discharge or removal of open cases of tuberculosis.
11) Proper supervision and care of public library books in relation to infectionin relation to infected persons.
12) Control, when necessary, of infected persons from participating in the handling of milk or other articles of food intended for sale.
13) Registration of private sanatoria and boarding houses which accept tuberculous patients, and the privilege of in- spection of them by the agent of the Board of Health, coupled with authority to require their adherence to sanitary practices and conditions in and about the premises.
14) Thorough cleanliness of churches, schools, halls and mills ; avoidance of common drinking cups in public places, and the employment of good ventilation in same places.
15) Arrest and incarceration, when necessary, of the in- corrigible consumptive.
1
68
16) The promotion of group hygiene resulting from co- operative community undertakings such as public playgrounds for children; pure water and ice; competent meat inspection to prevent escape into local market of meat excessively infected with tuberculosis; and, most important of all. a milk supply either coming from cattle which are proven nontuberculous by the Tuberculin test, or a milk supply made germ free by pasteurization. -
