We have met with many disappointments, many vexatious delays, and much opposition where we had every reason to expect support. We are, however, happy to state, that many of the obstacles met with have been removed, and we have every reason to believe that hereafter we will be able to accomplish, at least in a measure, the high objects for which our Board was instituted. From a review of the minutes of the Executive Committee, you will learn that its principal work has been directed to the establishment of a thorough sanitary organization of the State, each section of which is now placed in direct communication with the Central Committee. There was necessarily much clerical and other labor expended in the accomplishment of this object, but we congratulate you upon the fact, that there are now thirty-six Sub-Boards organized, and in active working order, in twenty-five Counties of the State. The remaining vacancies are in process of being filled, and efforts are being made to place the entire organization in an effective condition for sanitary work. The medical gentlemen who have accepted positions on the sub-Boards, have been selected for their high position, social as well as professional; the laymen chosen being active, energetic citizens, whose cooperation in the grand enterprise will be of immense value. It is a very wise provision of the Act, establishing the. State Board of Health of South Carolina, to engage the public in the work, and to interest it in the sanitary supervision of the State. Whenever the medical profession, prompted by the humane principles which are its guide at all times, endeavors to exert its influence in behalf of preventive medicine, cavillers, spring up and paralyse its efforts. Their motives are often misconstrued by leaders of public opinion; for the common mind does not seem capable of grasping the idea of unselfishness, which is involved in their efforts to war with the stern, inexorable enemy, which lurks in the soil, water and air, and is slowly, yet relentlessly, undermining their health, destroying their happiness, ruining their material interests, and crippling their progress.
