Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fourth Annual Report of the State Board of Health of South Carolina: For the Fiscal Year Ending October 31, 1883 It will be seen that this Report of the State Board of Health appears in attenuated form, as compared with the previous Reports. This is accounted for by the fact that heretofore much space has been given to papers relating to sanitary matters and preventive medicine, contributed at the earnest solicitation of the Board by scientific gentlemen (some times from beyond the limits of the State) distinguished as close observers and students of hygiene and practical sanitation; the object being to invest the publication with an interest and value to the citizen beyond what a mere report of the acts of the Board and a health review for the fiscal year can possess. But objections having arisen in some quarters, and from those whose opinions are entitled to respect, to this mode of circulating what cannot but be deemed valuable information, and which is very generally adopted by the Boards of Health of other States, the Executive Committee has decided, in deference to the views of those who urge the objection, and who would prefer to have the Report wear less the appearance of a medical journal, to publish this year only such papers as have been supplied by the members of the Committee and by the Sub and Local Boards of Health in their annual reports.
