Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seventh Annual Report of the State Board of Health of Wisconsin, 1882 For a full account of much of the practical work done under the auspices of the Board, reference is made to the report of the secretary of the Board, submitted herewith. This report gives, with some detail and with statistical tables, as complete an account as it was practicable to make of the chief zymotic diseases and of some others that have pre vailed in the state during the year. In particular, there is given a detailed history of the epidemic of Small Pox from which the state has suffered within that time, the disease making its appearance soon after the date of our last report.
