Excerpt from Health Bulletin, Vol. 54: January, 1939; Diphtheria 2, 056 Cases in North Carolina in 1937, "Nature Protects Me My First Six Months" With this issue the Health Bulletin enters its fifty-fourth year, the present number being Number 1 of Volume 54. It has thus completed fifty-three years of its monthly visits to the citizens of the State of North Carolina who are interested enough to write and ask that it be sent to them. This issue goes into seventy-six counties with organized full-time health department service, either on a county unit or a district basis, and in some instances with a city health department at the county-seat and a county health department functioning for the county. The reader may compare the situation in this State now with reference to public health service with this month fifty-four years ago when Dr. Thomas Fanning Wood, the first State Health Officer, issued the first number. At that time the total appropriation for the State Board of Health work was $2,000 annually. Dr. Wood, of course, worked on a part-time basis and a part-time clerk in his office wrote out the script in longhand for the first publication. Today in these seventy-six counties, there are more than five hundred full-time workers, including health officers, nurses, clerical help, sanitary inspectors and engineers, etc. This is exclusive of the State Board of Health organization and also exclusive of the many full-time employees of city water departments such as chemists and engineers. It is the conviction of this writer that no money that the State and the localities have ever spent has resulted in more benefit to the citizens than that of the health workers. Many of these workers are unknown to the general public, their names seldom occur in the State papers, they are not given honorary degrees by the State's colleges, they are seldom ever any of them elected to office of any kind. Many of them receive daily complaints from citizens about trivial matters. Most of them take such patiently and try to explain the purpose of their work and the protection that it affords the people. The Health Bulletin as a monthly reminder throughout all these more than fifty years has served to keep before the people of the State many of the practical requirements of public health practice. All of the contributors and the editors who have managed the affairs of the Health Bulletin and who have tried to get it out month by month throughout the years have always had uppermost in their minds the hope that they would be providing information that might enable people to know how to protect themselves from preventable diseases and untimely deaths. About 46,000 numbers go out each month. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
