Excerpt from Tenth Biennial Report of the State Board of Health of California: For the Fiscal Years From June 30, 1886, to June 30, 1888We would also call your Excellency' S attention to the fact that leprosy is being gradually introduced into this State, principally through Chinese immigration, and would recommend that all such cases found within this State be strictly segregated, and a law passed forbidding the landing or introduction of such persons, upon any pretense whatever, and their imme diate return to the place from whence they came, if so imported.We hereby append the reports requested by your Excellency as to the sanitary condition and administration of the various institutions receiving State aid.In our Permanent Secretary's report will be found a detailed account of the diseases which have prevailed throughout the State, their mortality, and the means used for their suppression, together with the necessary expenditure of the Board.We regret to say that the yearly appropriation given to the State Board of Health 1s not sufficient to enable it to do such work as properly comes within its province, and the Board is unanimously of the opinion that an increase of the appropriation would be a manifest benefit to the State.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
