HEALTH  OFFICER'S  REPORT 


From  Feb.  1,  1928,  to  Feb.  1,  1929,  the  following  contagious 
diseases  have  been  reported: 

Scarlet  fever,  4. 

Measles,  5. 

Whooping  cough,  3. 

Mumps,  2. 

There  have  been  approximately  150  cases  of  influenza. 

Under  the  State  Board  of  Health,  division  of  Maternity  and 
Child  Welfare,  the  annual  child  health  conference  was  held  at 
Bowen  hall.  Dr.  Robert  Brooks  of  Claremont  was  the  examining 
physician.  Less  than  15  children  were  brought  for  the  yearly 
examination.  It  is  a  pity  that  every  Charlestown  parent  of  chil- 
dren under  school  age  do  not  take  advantage  of  this  opportunity 
for  health  training.  The  yearly  examination  has  a  definite  value 
for  better  health  for  our  children. 

In  October,  Dr.  Charles  Weaver  of  the  State  Board  of 
Health,  with  the  approval  of  the  Superintendent  of  Schools,  R. 
W.  Gillmore,  the  Schick  test  was  given  to  124  children.  At  the 
reading  but  four  showed  positive  reaction.  All  others  were  im- 
muned  to  diphtheria. 

Four  analysis  of  the  public  water  supply,  both  of  the  village 
and  North  Charlestown  reservoirs,  have  been  made  during  the 
year.    The  results  in  each  case  have  been  very  satisfactory. 

Several  samples  of  milk  from  local  dealers  have  been  sub- 
mitted to  the  State  Laboratory  for  examination  and  the  result 
in  most  cases  has  been  satisfactory.  Persons  selling  milk,  even 
those  who  do  not  operate  a  regular  route,  should  post  them- 
selves regarding  the  present  milk  regulations.  Copies  of  the 
milk  law  and  suggestions  from  the  State  Division  of  Sanitation 
will  be  gladly  furnished  without  charge,  on  application.
