Excerpt from Fifth Annual Report of the State Board of Health of the State of Kansas: From January 1, 1889, and Ending December 31, 1889

At the present time there are more county health boards in the State than ever before, and they are rendering efficient and valuable services to the State in all departments of sanitary science, in the prevention of disease, and the suppression of epidemics. Most of them have been in continual service for the past five years, laboring faithfully for the welfare of the peo ple, and with but little remuneration. In fact, many of them receive no compensation, except the conscious assurance that their labors will be of incalculable benefit to their. Fellow-men, in the prevention of many of the ills that flesh is heir to. Neither do they receive that cordial cooperation and assistance from the people which they should. Every person should have personal interest in preventing an epidemic, and in lending a helping hand to the af¿icted family, or the local board of health, when needed. We re gret to say, that in far too many cases difficulties are thrown about the local health officer, and obstacles placed in his way by the people whose inter est he is laboring to serve.
