Excerpt from Annual Report of the State Board of Health of Maryland: For the Year Ending December 31, 1904 To His Excellency Edwin Warfield, Governor of Maryland. Sir: The health of the State during the past two years has been threatened by no unusual epidemic. Smallpox, which has given us a good deal of concern during the past eight years almost disappeared. For a period of eighteen consecutive months our chief city was wholly exempt. But four cases occurred in Maryland in 1905 down to December 10th, when a few cases appeared in Baltimore and its environs, and the year ends with a renewed menace, arising in the State of Virginia; not serious enough, however, to justify any alarm. During the year 1905, Typhoid Fever has been unusually prevalent. The mortality for this year will exceed that for 1904, when 508 deaths were charged to typhoid fever. The increased prevalence in 1905, included several institutional outbreaks. The typhoid history of 1905 has strongly stimulated public interest in the supervision of water supplies, and has emphasized need of better control of the production and distribution of milk. Tuberculosis killed 2,635 persons in Maryland in 1904, and a like number in 1905. The State has already provided satisfactory legislation for restricting the spread of this disease. With co-operation among local boards of health, the State Board of Health, and the charitable and philanthropic agencies, we can look for measurable profits in the control of this disease in the next ten years, and after that the gains should be larger. The two Acts of 1904 (Chapters 899 and 412) went into actual operation on May 1, 1905. More than 2,000 cases of tuberculosis are now registered, and the great majority of these have received the prophylactic supplies and the home instruction designed to prevent the communication of the disease to friends and attendants.
