To the Honorable Mayor and City Council of Hallowell: The undersigned, City Physician for the past year, respectfully submits the following report: There has been at the almshouse during the year just closing more than the usual amount of sickness; principally lung and other diseases resulting from colds. I have made frequent visits there, and have furnished such medicines as the cases required. The inmates have had the best of care form Mr. and Mrs. Sumner, who have done everything possible to render them comfortable and happy. The sanitary condition of the building is good, with one exception.; the upper hall, into which the rooms of the inmates open, is not sufficiently heated. Many of the inmates are aged, and most of them are feeble and need a warmer temperature than the furnace now in the house can produce. A larger and better one would have prevented much of the sickness which as prevailed during the cold season. The call into families away from the farm have been numerous, all which I have attended. I have been called to the lockup to see one case of injury and one case of delirium tremens. Respectfully submitted, J. M. Eveleth, M. D. City Physician.
