Report of State Board of Health. Reports from ninety-seven cities, towns, villages and sanitary districts, aggregating a population of eight hundred and thirty-one thousand five hundred and fifty-one, show a mortality of one thousand two hundred and thirty-four, or a death rate of 1.48 per thousand, for January, or 17.76 per thousand per annum. PREVAILING DISEASES. Reports of prevailing diseases from sixty localities, outside of the larger towns and cities, give one hundred and fourteen cases of pneumonia, two hundred and three of bronchitis, forty-seven of pleurisy, twenty-three of congestion of the lungs, eighty-three of diarrhoea, twenty-one of dysentery, eight of cholera morbus, eleven of cholera infantum, seventeen of diphtheria, thirtysix of croup, seven of scarlatina, sixty-three of measles, eighty-one of whooping-cough, five hundred and seventy-one of la grippe, thirty-four of typhoid fever, one hundred and sixteen of malarial fevers, four of cerebro-spinal fever, thirty-six of erysipelas, one hundred and fifty-three of rheumatism, one hundred and fifty-nine of neuralgia, one hundred and four of tonsilitis, and seventy-five of pharnyngitis. Measles were epidemic at Elkhorn, Mariposa County. Whooping-cough was epidemic at Cloverdale, College City and Anaheim. The fatality from this disease of childhood during the month of Jannary was large, fourteen having died from that cause. Chicken-pox is epidemic at Anaheim. SMALLPOX IN THE EAST. This disease is reported as prevailing quite generally in the East, the numbers in the aggregate reaching high figures. The western limit by last report is the State of Iowa. It may not be amiss to again urge a revival of vaccination. Smallpox in any household is as disastrous as a fire. City and town authorities should provide free vaccination for all who will avail themselves of it, without waiting for an announcement of the unwelcome advent of the disease. STATE SANITARY CONVENTION. The second annual State Sanitary Convention will be held at San Jose on the afternoon and evening of Monday, April 16th, in the hall to be occupied on the following day by the State Medical Society. The convention will be held under the auspices of the State Board of Health, which will provide for the necessary expenses. The invitation is extended to all medical men, boards of health, city and sanitary engineers, clergymen, and all others who take an active interest in preventive measures against disease. As announced in a circular letter in December, the following resolution will be introduced: "Resolved, That hereafter consumption (and other diseases due to bacillus tuberculosis) should be included in the list of diseases dangerous to the public health, requiring notice by householders and physicians to the local Health Officer, as soon as recognized." It is confidently expected that this subject will be ably discussed. Short papers are solicited on any branch of sanitary science, those having a local bearing being especially desirable. These papers, with all the proceedings of the convention, will be published in a pamphlet form for general distribution. The titles of papers should be forwarded early to facilitate the completion of a suitable programme. A circular letter has been sent to a large number, but as it may not reach all who might wish to take part, a general invitation is extended, and papers on the subjects suggested earnestly solicited. J. R. LAINE, M. D., Secretary. DR. GEO. W. MERRITT and his wife, Dr. Emma Merritt, have gone to Europe for an extended tour of two years. DR. J. S. EASTMAN, of Berkeley, reports an interesting case of cure of masturbation in a woman by neurectomy; three inches of the left pudic nerve were resected. FOR SALE at a great bargain!
