Excerpt from Second Biennial Report, or the Nineteenth and Twentieth Annual Reports, of the State Board of Health of the State of Kansas: From January 1, 1903, to December 31, 1904

The total number of deaths for the year 1902 was 1202, the total number of births, 1166, the total number of marriages, 1205. The most prevailing diseases were pneumonia, tuberculosis, and typhoid fever. Ten nuisances were abated during the year. The causes for death were given in about 900 cases. The number of deaths reported for which there were no causes given was 321. It is easy to see that, in this the largest county in the state, getting out a report as complete as this requires a great deal of time and careful attention, for which the county Health officer of Wyandotte county is entitled to great commendation.
