Excerpt from Annual Report of the Department of Public Health, San Francisco, Cal., For the Year, July 1, 1909, to June 30, 1910One inspector is detailed for this work, his particular business being to prevent the use of contaminated water for irrigation purposes, samples of the water used being taken at regular intervals, and submitted to the Bacteriologist for examination. In addition to this, samples of vegetables are submitted and examined for the possible presence of amoeba, and in numerous instances these parasites have been discovered in the samples submitted. In many cases samples of water taken by the truck garden inspector upon bacteriological examination have developed a very high bacterial count, therefore the inaugur ation of this Division can safely be said to afford a large measure of protection to the health of the citizens of our community.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
