Excerpt from Eighteenth Report (Fifth Biennial) Of the State Board of Health of the State of New Hampshire: For the Two Years Ending November 1, 1904 An official report, such as is required by the Public Statutes, can rep resent in only a general way the work done and results accomplished. We have always maintained that educational methods were of the first importance in the work of the board, and for many years have depended almost entirely upon such a course; but now, and for nearly four years past, the board has had facilities, through the establishment of its laboratory, to make original investigations, which have already been of inestimable public benefit, and which is elsewhere in this volume quite fully reported upon.
