Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifteenth Report (Second Biennial) Of the State Board of Health of the State of New Hampshire: For the Two Years Ending November 1, 1898 Herewith is presented the fifteenth report of the State Board of Health, the same being the second biennial report, for the fiscal years 1897 and 1898. It is made in accordance with the policy announced in the previous issues, to wit: that the reports should be made a source of sanitary instruc tion to the people of the state, rather than to encumber them with technical, scientific, and statistical matter, valuable only to those who are making investigations along those lines. We have, therefore, included and discussed matters of general public interest, and have endeavored to make the same as inter esting and as plain as possible. Indeed, this report contains less statistical matter than any of the former issues. Those who are especially interested in vital statistical investigations will find every available fact in the Registration Reports. A few statistics are herewith presented that serve to emphasize the need of, or the results of, preventive measures in certain diseases. The report represents only in a very small degree the actual work of the board, inasmuch as all correspondence, action in certain local cases, etc., etc., is omitted in order to give place to matter of greater public interest.
