Excerpt from Twenty-Fifth Biennial Report of the Montana State Board of Health, for the Years 1949-1950: Vital Statistics for the Years 1948-1949During the two years covered by this report no disease occurred in epidemic proportions, and the incidence of communicable disease was very low in Montana. However, the record shows clearly that continued effort is required in the elimination of preventable disease. In each year one case of smallpox was reported. There were also typhoid fever and diphtheria cases and deaths, yet we know how to prevent these diseases. Poliomyelitis, while not epidemic, had its highest incidence since 1947 and its fifth highest incidence on record.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
