It Shows what the "tate Board of Health is Accomplishing in the StaJe ' The October Health BulletinV boast ing preventable diseases, is a great piece of work wh!ch the Bureau of Epidemiology has given to the public and' it is worthy of even wider circu lation than the bulletin normally has. It shows" what the Bureau .is accom plishing and further yhat it can ac complish, with the co-operation of the ,pe6ple. It denies responsibility ior the 427 deaths vf rom typhoid-..and the 242 from diphtheria ahd invites the State to avail itslefof the easy means at the lowest possible cost of prevent. lion by getting the serum used in the assaults upon these diseases from th State Board of Health laboratory. . ' One very excellent feature of . this bulletin is the short, crisp sentence. which it carries at the top andotf torn of each page. These sentenegfe ex press the thopght that is found in lts trf".' long articles. ; Each one'haY a "health "truth" and if one hasonly three minutes to spare it1 will return great gain to him by reading these if no article at all is looked at?.; This feature makes the bulletin 'every un usual. r . .; - i "While the health bulletin is not C classic" stated Dr. J. S. Mitchiner, who edits the October bulletin, "it is ta fundamental and an essential." Upon requests copies will be -sent to each county '- superintendent of schools tq be used as a "traveling library" for the Schools.
