Excerpt from Annual Report of the Commissioner of Health to the Governor of Virginia: For the Year Ending September 30, 1912 Steady and consistent progress has marked the course of public health work during the fiscal year ending September 30, 1912. The Commonwealth has been blessed in that there have been no serious outbreaks of communicable disease and the people are to be congratulated in that they have begun to reap the fruits of past endeavor in sanitation. One great victory for better health' has been won and advances in the war against other diseases have been made. Our people are more aroused than ever before to the importance of sanitation and are showing more interest in domestic hygiene than they have ever manifested in the past. More schools have been improved, more sanitary outbuildings have been erected, more model wells have been con structed, more towns have installed water supplies and Sewage systems, more general interest has been shown in health publicity and more pre cautions have been taken in the average home than at any time during the history of health work in the Commonwealth. Aside from the successful enforcement Of the new vital' statistics law, and the very remarkable decrease in typhoid fever, both of which will be outlined in detail, this report will be found a simple chronicle Of general progress, unmarked by signal victories, but unmarred by defeats.
