Created by gemini-2.0-flash-lite on 2025-05-22

The image is a document from the Board of Health of New Bedford, Massachusetts, dated February 28, 1911. It is a notice about a case of diphtheria in a family and provides instructions and warnings to prevent the spread of the disease.

Here's a breakdown of the document:

Header:

  • States "OFFICE OF BOARD OF HEALTH".
  • Includes "NEW BEDFORD, FEB. 28, 1911." indicating the date and location.

Text (in English):

  • Explains that due to the contagious nature of diphtheria, strict quarantine measures are necessary.
  • Orders householders to keep patients under treatment in their homes and not to allow them to mingle with others until a physician from the Board of Health gives permission.
  • Informs the family that books should not be taken from or delivered to public or private libraries by members of the quarantined family.
  • Prohibits members of the family from attending public meetings.
  • Signed by S. J. Small, Clerk, and lists the names of the board members.

Translations:

  • Includes translated versions of the notice in French, Portuguese, and Polish. Each translation conveys the same core message: the family is notified about a case of diphtheria and given instructions to quarantine the patient and prevent the spread of the disease. The specific details vary, but the general precautions and directives remain consistent across the different languages.

The document's purpose is to inform a specific family or families about a case of diphtheria and to outline the public health measures that must be followed to contain the disease and protect the community. It reflects the public health protocols of the time and the importance of quarantine and public health education in controlling infectious diseases.

Here's a description of the image:

The image is a scan of a historical public health notice. The heading reads "OFFICE OF BOARD OF HEALTH." Below that, it indicates "NEW BEDFORD, FEB. 28, 1911." The notice informs the reader that due to a contagious disease, most likely Diphtheria, stricter measures regarding quarantine have to be taken. Patients under treatment in dwelling houses are restricted from mingling with other people until they receive permission from a Board of Health physician. Furthermore, families are prohibited from taking books from or delivering them to public or private libraries and are not to attend any public meeting. The notice is in English, French, Portuguese, and Polish. It is signed by F. M. Kennedy, D. D. S., L. Z. Normandin, M. D., and Harold Winslow, who are likely members of the Board of Health. The document reflects the public health concerns and responses to infectious diseases during the early 20th century.
