Health's Bureau of Communicable Diseases, and I will impose on him by requesting him to say a few words to us on that account.

Remarks by Dr. James G. Cumming

DR. CUMMING: Before I came to California I did not realize the prevalence of this disease in the State. I have been here only eight weeks, and I was quite surprised to find the facts. My eyes were first opened when I visited Redding about four weeks ago. I happened to be called there on a typhoid epidemic, and in investigating these typhoid cases it was very evident that there was some other disease besides typhoid. These cases came down first with a typical malarial chart. These symptoms eased temporarily, and then there was a gradual rise in the temperature curve, which was typical of typhoid. I noted that point up there and I asked physicians about it. They said that was a very common occurrence, and as I investigated further I found six cases out of nine that showed this temperature curve followed by the chart of typhoid fever. Regarding the work in Panama, of course, that work was carried out under the scientific direction of Colonel Gorgas, and I think that possibly the commonwealth of California needs nothing more nor less than to have its need for scientific work pointed out. The people certainly will correct the evils of their own accord without it being necessary to insist upon certain sanitary regulations being enforced by law.

Remarks by President Hodghead

THE PRESIDENT: Anyone else to be heard from? If not, will entertain a motion to adjourn. I think we will all agree that this is one of the most valuable reports we have had for many years. As I have stated, it is the second of a series on general public health. There are a number of other reports to follow, not immediately, but some time during the year, when we can work them in. This report comes with peculiar usefulness at this time, at the opening of the mosquito campaign, and the bulletin that we shall publish on it will be given as wide circulation as possible.

If there is nothing further to come before the meeting, we will stand adjourned for one month.
