Description:Excerpt from Twelfth Report of the State Board of Health of the State of Maine: For the Two Years Ending Dec; 31, 1901 The tardy appearance of this report is due to the fact that the danger from smallpox has constantly threatened our State and that outbreaks of that disease have been quite frequent thus necessitating the absence of the secretary from the office much of the time and increasing the office work very much. During the latter of the two years covered by this report there were an unusual number of outbreaks, but in the year 1902, not included in this report, much more frequent and serious outbreaks occurred and the time available for the preparation of the report has been exceedingly fragmentary. Subjects of Correspondence. - In preparing the reports of this board it has been the policy of the secretary to occupy as little space as possible with the general correspondence of the office or in recording events which are merely of local or passing interest. Appeals are, however, frequently made to the secretary by local boards of health or by citizens for advice on matters of very diverse character. Some of the questions thus presented are of general interest, as is shown by their repetition by different correspondents A new feature has therefore been introduced into this report, "Subjects of Correspondence" in which the answers to many inquiries have been classified under different headings. One class of these questions is purely legal. The answers to some of them are explicitly defined in the provisions of the public health laws, while under the contingencies indicated in other letters the absence of any clearly defined statutory provisions or of precedents or legal decisions in our State render a positive opinion impossible. Another class of questions relates to the best and most efficient methods of doing public health work, or often what is the best or most expedient thing to do under the particular circumstances.
