REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF THETFORD PUBLIC LIBRARY

DR. L. B. ALLEN,
Treasurer.
Feb. 1; 1922:
REPORT OF DISTRICT HEALTH OFFICER.
There were 60 cases of contagious diseases reported during the year, chicken pox heading the list with 26 cases, whooping cough 17 and scarlet fever 15, this disease in its present form has been unusually mild. There is no diffi- culty in making a diagnosis in typical scarlet fever, but in the mild cases it is not so easy, in many cases the person is not sick enough to have a physician, the eruption is some- time localized or even absent altogether.
The throat trouble may be thought to be simple ton- silitis. All cases of peeling of the hands is scarlet fever, and this usually occurs during the second or third week of the disease. The only safe procedure to follow when scarlet fever or diphtheria are present in a community, is to re- gard every case of sore throat as a source of danger, and the child should be promptly isolated and a physician called. This disease can be prevented from spreading quite easily, if all mild and severe cases are known, that they may be kept from the well.
I have no particular recommendations to make at this time.
Respectfully submitted,
C. H. BURR, M. D.
