Fifth Annual Report of the State Board of Health of Wisconsin

Excerpt from Fifth Annual Report of the State Board of Health of Wisconsin: 1880 Sir - In accordance with the provisions of law under which this board is organized, we have the honor to present the following fifth annual report. In the accompanying report of the secretary, to which you are respectfully referred, will be found a detailed statement of the general work of the board, and of the means by which it is executing the important trust committed to its charge. That report will show that the work of the board has reached a larger proportion of the state than during any previous year of its history, and we trust that as its labors have been extended its usefulness has likewise been increased. The General Health Of The State has been on the whole better than during the preceding years of the boards existence, though we still have to mourn the sacrifice of many valuable lives, and to witness a great amount of suffering which might have been avoided had the knowledge of sanitary science been more widely diffused among and heeded by the people.
