Once more would this Board emphasize the urgent neces- sity of a strict compliance with the rules and regulations gov- erning these cases, a copy of which is left with each family in which such case is reported.
Only by a strict observance of the rules which govern these cases can a proper quarantine be maintained. This Board would also urge upon the laity the need of allowing the physician in charge to use antitoxine whenever it is, in his judgment, called for.
CHICKEN POX
One hundred and three cases have been reported.
While strict quarantine is not insisted on in this disease, it is strongly urged that those who have chicken pox be kept apart from other children in the family as well as from those outside of the family. It is also absolutely necessary that every case be reported to this Board by the family where a physician is not called in to see the case. In this way, by keeping these cases apart from others, an epidemic might be prevented and fewer be obliged to remain away from school for a limited time.
SCARLET FEVER
Thirty-three cases have been reported.
This Board wishes to emphasize more strongly the need of a stricter observance of the rules pertaining to this dis- ease. We feel that, in some cases, too little attention is paid to these rules and thus others are needlessly exposed. It should also be remembered that the sending of mail from the houses quarantined with this disease is strictly prohibited.

TYPHOID FEVER
Twelve cases of typhoid fever have been reported. These cases occurred between October 6th and 31st.
All of these cases were confined to a limited area in the east side of the town, five being inmates of the convent. The remaining seven cases were in five families and were taken sick within a few days of each other. These facts suggested a common source of infection and an investigation of the milk supply showed that all these cases received their milk entirely or in part from the same milk dealer. Suspicion was therefore directed to that supply as the probable source of the infection.
An examination of the premises of this dealer, and of all the people who handled this milk, revealed the fact that a son of the dealer who had been in Montreal during the sum- mer had returned here on September 12th. He gave a his- tory of having been ill for five or six weeks prior to his coming here. Two positive Widals were obtained from his blood.
Although bile cultures from his stools were negative, it is highly probable from the positive Widals that his recent ill- ness was typhoid fever and that he was the source of the infection, notwithstanding the fact that he denied having any- thing whatever to do with the milk, the cans, or any of the utensils which were used.
He was removed to another part of the town, away from all milk sources, and a thorough sterilization of all the milk utensils was enjoined and a general cleaning up of the entire premises. These measures were willingly and faithfully car- ried out by the milk dealer and no other cases appeared.
There were two deaths which occurred, one due directly to the typhoid and the other to a heart failure during con- valescence, caused by the disease.
Not for many years has a case of typhoid occurred in this town which has been traced to any cause within the town limits, but the cause has been traced to conditions outside of the town.
248
BOARD OF HEALTH
MEASLES AND WHOOPING COUGH
Twenty-nine cases of the former and 25 cases of the latter have been reported.
We would here again remind the public that these dis- eases, including German measles, must be reported to this Board by the family when a physician is not employed.
BAKERIES
The usual inspection of the six bakeries has been made and most of them have been found in good condition. In those cases where it was found necessary to offer any sugges- tions we found the owners ready to receive such suggestions and willing to comply with them.
NUISANCES
Many cases of nuisances have been reported. These are all carefully investigated by the agent of this Board and ordered abated.
Several cases have occurred where dead fowls have been thrown upon the street or into some neighbor's yard, and cats and dogs have been thrown into some of the ponds in town. It is usually impossible to ascertain who is responsible for these acts, or to whom they belong, as all marks of owner- ship have been previously removed.
This is a violation of the law and we wish to emphasize the fact that whenever the owner can be ascertained he will be dealt with as the law directs.
The keeping of fowls becomes a nuisance whenever they are not properly cared for by their owners and kept at home and under proper restraint, not allowed to roam at large and upon their neighbors' premises. Many complaints regarding fowls have been brought in to this Board the past year.
The keeping of pigs also becomes a nuisance when too many are kept in the center of the town and in close prox- imity to other occupied places.
This Board intends soon to compile a set of rules which will pertain to the fowl and pig nuisance and thus lessen the
249
BOARD OF HEALTH
number of complaints which yearly are brought to our attention.
Many complaints at various times have been brought to this Board of a nuisance caused by a large piggery where several hundred hogs and pigs are kept, and though some- what removed from the center and the residential part of the town, it was deemed advisable to order it removed outside the town limits. To accomplish this, however, it became necessary to resort to legal measures and to bring the owner into court. This brought about the desired result and the piggery was removed to some other town.
COLLECTION OF HOUSE OFFAL
This work has been attended to by the same party as in the past four years and with a minimum number of com- plaints. If the householders would more carefully read and follow out the instructions given them in the rules governing these collections, a copy of which is left with each family, there would be but few complaints made. On a careful ex- amination made by this Board, it has been found that the fault was, in the majority of cases, due to the fact that the rules had not been carefully complied with.
APPROPRIATION
While last year this Board exceeded its appropriation, caused by the presence of a few cases of smallpox, this year we have kept within the amount asked for.
The care of tuberculosis patients at the various sanataria, and of several cases of contagious diseases at some of the hospitals in the state, is a large item in the expenditure of the money given us.
When we, however, consider that those patients who are at the various institutions give security from exposure to many others it may be considered that the money thus used is well expended for the protection of the public at large and perhaps economy for the town in the long run.
250
BOARD OF HEALTH
PUBLIC URINAL
The need for a public urinal still exists and nothing has as yet been done by the town toward installing one. It is hoped, however, that with the removal of the town offices to the new municipal building some arrangement can be made whereby such a sanitary station can be installed.
SPECIAL COMPLAINT
The attention of this Board was called several times this year to the conditions existing at the old town barn, which is located on Church street only a few steps from the center of the town. Examination of the premises revealed the fact that these complaints were well founded. Suggestions were made by this Board regarding a temporary cleaning up of the place for the winter. It will, however, be necessary for the town this spring to either remove this building to some other street or to connect it with the sewer. These are the only two remedies available to relieve the condition which there exists.

REPORT OF BACTERIOLOGIST
Leominster, Mass., Jan. 1, 1915.
Board of Health of Leominster, Mass.
Gentlemen :-
I have the honor of submitting to you my tenth annual report, for the year ending December 31, 1914.
Because of lack of knowledge that prevails to some ex- tent, I am prompted to make a statement relative to diph- theria and the use of antitoxin. Notwithstanding the fact that by the use of antitoxin the death rate from diphtheria has been reduced from about twenty-seven per cent. to about four per cent., there still remains an unwarranted prejudice against its use. As the most obvious effect of this disease is found in the throat and nose, it is the general belief that the danger is local rather than systemic. Physicians know other- wise. The diphtheria bacilli may grow on any mucus surface, but the favorite site is in the throat and nose. A more or less profuse exudation takes place, forming what is known as the "membrane," accompanied with soreness. By the growth of the bacilli, a poison or toxin is produced that is absorbed into the system, causing fever and the other dis- turbances that accompany the disease. This is due to a true blood poisoning. The toxin is a powerful heart depressant, and death is most commonly due to this action. Persons who recover from the disease are frequently left with a weak heart, and death may occur from this cause after recovery from the local disease.
While toxins are being formed by the growth of the bacilli, nature in her endeavor to combat the disease is pro-
256
BOARD OF HEALTH
ducing what we call antitoxin, the function of which is to counteract the effect of the toxin or poison. If enough anti- toxin is produced to offset the action of the toxin, the patient recovers, otherwise he does not. No one can recover without this sufficient amount of antitoxin, either produced in the system or artificially introduced. When introduced artificially, nature is assisted to just that extent, and the chances of recovery are increased to just that extent. As stated, death sometimes occurs from heart failure, after apparent recovery, and to the minds of uninformed persons this is due to the antitoxin given. Is it reasonable to say that nature's own remedy for the disease is the cause of death? Physicians know that it is not.
There is another beneficial effect of antitoxin. Before its discovery there was rarely a "mild" case of diphtheria. All cases were severe and it was one of the most dreaded diseases. The bacilli pass from one person to another, and during the years since antitoxin has been in use they have passed from person to person who have been treated with artificially made antitoxin, with the result that the virulence of the bacilli is being gradually but surely reduced, till now there are many "mild" cases of the disease.
A cause of some complaint is that persons are at times quarantined when they are not ill. These are known as "carrier" cases. The bacilli are lodged in the throat and often grow in great abundance without causing a membrane to form, or any of the usual symptoms of diphtheria. For some unknown reason these persons are immune from the disease, just as some are immune from ivy poison. The diffi- culty is that these same bacilli may be transferred to another person and produce the disease with all of its symptoms. It is also unfortunately true that in such cases it is most diffi- cult to rid the throat of the bacilli, and a long quarantine period is necessary. I may add that the strain of bacilli that is prevalent all over the state this year is unusually persistent, and the quarantine period in most cases has been quite ex- tended.
