Excerpt from The Sanitary Journal of the Provincial Board of Health of Ontario (Canada): Being the Twenty-Fourth Annual Report for the Year 1905It was my intention to have called you together a couple of weeks earlier, but, owing to a number of reasons was unable to do so.I am sure that you all are equally glad with myself, of the large amount of good practical work which we have been able to accomplish during the year 1904, and that you will be equally pleased with the very satisfactory condition of the health of this fair Province during that period.For twenty-two long years we have been striving to make our land one of the healthiest places on this earth, and I am sure that the following report of the year just closed will bear me out in saying, that in no year have we had better results than in the last.The health of the people has been fair, and I now will place before you, the statistics, of a few of the contagious show what has been done with them.Scarlet fever, had its greatest mortality during the months of January, February, and December, being 24, 13, and 15 respectively While the least was in the months of May, June and September, being 7, 5, and 7. The mortality for the year reached 129, while the preceding year it was four times greater, reaching 529.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
