Excerpt from Preliminary Report of the Commission for the Suppression of Anemia in Porto RicoThe physicians who were to take charge of the substations were invited to visit the Central Station at the expense of the appropriation, to observe the methods of working, manner of keeping records, etc., thus insuring uniformity in the data obtained at the various stations. This system of substations was somewhat of an experiment and its success has been one of the most gratifying results of the years work. It proves the feasibility of establishing a number of stations in various parts of the Island, which will work in harmony under a central direction. We acknowledge with pleasure that the credit belongs more to the directors of these stations than to the Commission which exercised only an administrative function toward them. Their statistics have been tabulated wit-h those of the Central Station for the purpose of showing the combined results of all stations. The directors of substations were also requested to submit a few remarks on the work in their districts together with any considerations that they might wish to make upon the subject generally. Their opinions without alteration or comment have been inserted in this report under the heading, Reports from Substations. For sake of convenience, we have grouped the statistics at the end of this report, and only insert here summaries of various tables as we discuss the conclusions which may be drawn from the facts they contain.The disease is one to which the white and mixed races are predisposed, having always in mind, however, the possibility of encountering serious symptoms in the infected negro. We were working in a part of the Island where the negro is relatively rare, with exception of two substations.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
