[PUBLIC STATUTES, CHAP. 80, SECT. 78, ACTS OF 1884, CHAP. 98, AND ACTS OF 1891, CHAP. 188.]


(1 ) When a householder knows that a person within his family is sick of small-pox, diphtheria, scarlet fever or any other disease dangerous to the public health, he shall immediately give notice thereof to the selectmen or board of health of the town in which he dwells, and upon the death, recovery or re- moval of such persons the rooms occupied and the articles used by him shall be disinfected by such householder in a manner


213


REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH.


approved by the board of health. Any person neglecting or re- fusing to comply with either of the above provisions shall forfeit a sum not exceeding one hundred dollars.


(2.) When a physician knows that a person whom he is called to visit is infected with small-pox, diphtheria, scarlet fever or any other disease dangerous to public health, he shall immediately give notice thereof in writing, over his own signa- ture, to the selectmen or board of health of the town ; and if he refuses or neglects to give such notice he shall forfeit for each offense not less than fifty nor more than two hundred dollars.


Membraneous croup is diphtheria of the larynx, and as such should be reported as diphtheria.


A proper regard for the principies of quarantine and disin- fection in cases of infectious and contagious diseases may pre- vent much in the way of sickness and death.


Respectfully, F. H. OLIN, M. D. Secretary of Board of Health.
