Excerpt from Twenty-Third Annual Report of the State Board of Health of Florida, 1911: Approved by the Board in Annual Session, February 26 and 27, 1911, Jacksonville, Florida It is pleasing to state to you that the bacteriological laboratories Of the Board continue to afford the citizens assistance which is both mitigating as well as preventive in dealing with sicknesses when time and accuracy mean so much in arriving at a definite knowledge Of' the character Of the ailments under treatment. It is believed from the commendatory mention Of the work Of these laboratories which has come to my attention in conversation with the lay public and in other ways, that the laboratory work of the Board is much appreciated by the people Of the state and that there is no disposition to criticise the expense incurred in maintaining these very essential institutions.
