Excerpt from Twenty-Second Annual Report of the State Board of Health of the State of Ohio: For the Year Ending December 31st, 1907 The past year has shown the wisdom of having separation in; these conferences. All three meetings were well attended, although a good many municipalities and townships failed to send delegates in spite of the mandatory character of the law, for the violation of which, however, there is no penalty. The proceedings of the January meeting were printed in full, and those of the two other meetings in part, in the Ohio Sanitary Bulletin, and distributed among the various boards of health. As the value of such conferences to the communities sending delegates becomes better understood, we may count on a much fuller representation. Smallpox.

Excerpt from Twenty-Annual Annual Report of the State Board of Health of the State of Ohio: For the Year Ending December 31, 1908 Property interests are well guarded, while health interests are everywhere largely neglected. It is probably safe to say that one hundred dollars is spent to protect property for every dollar expended to protect health. The public is just awakening to these conditions. In many communities Health Leagues are being formed. We have Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce - trade, commerce - to look after the material, the financial, prosperity of our cities. If the same quality of men, with their push and energy, would give equal time to the protection of public health, how much more joy and happiness there would be in the world, and especially in the homes, now saddened by death which such body of men might undoubtedly prevent. They would soon see that at present we are fighting our worst enemies with a straggling, inadequate army of poorly paid, badly equipped health officers. A legislative measure was framed with the aid of the Legislative Committee of the State Medical Society calling for a competent fairly well paid deputy state health officer in each county, with power to appoint assistants in each city, village and township. It was found to be unconstitutional to have such county officers appointed, which was deemed necessary to secure the right kind of men, so the measure was dropped. The State Board of Health is greatly in need of assistance of this kind for the control of contagious and infectious diseases. In these days of easy, frequent intercommunication, uncontrolled communicable disease in any part of the state endangers the whole. The next Legislature will possibly be requested to provide for the appointment by the State Board of Health of a sufficient number of well qualified medical inspectors to enable it to promptly investigate, and take charge, if necessary, of all serious outbreaks of the dangerous diseases spread by human contact. During the past year the Board has been called upon to render personal assistance in the suppression of such diseases in the following places: Santa Fe, Lakeview; Adams Township, Champaign County; Union Township, Miami County; Mansfield, Cecil; Oregon Township, Lucas County; Jerry City; Akron Township, Summit County; Hamilton Township, Warren County; Girls Industrial School at Delaware; Pierce Township, Clermont County; Commercial Point, Millersburg, Piqua, Bowerston, Holloway, Sherodsville, Tippecanoe; Mill Township, Tuscarawas County; Monclova Township, Lucas County; Zanesville, Chillicothe, Richmondale, Cleves, Beliefontaine; Harrison Township, Darke County; German Township, Darke County; Glencoe, Hollansburg, Moxahala, Marion, New Bremen, Bethesda, Carrollton, Kalida, Malinta, Norwich, Morral, Madisonville, Owensville; Prairie Township, Holmes County; West Mansfield, Rising Sun, Gnadenhutten, Tippecanoe City, Fredericksburg, Deavertown, Pemberville and Wilberforce.
