Administrative History
The records were generated in response to Section 25 of Chapter 45 of the Consolidated Laws of 1909 (L. 1909, Ch. 49). This law required all physicians to immediately notify the State Department of Health of every case of "infectious and contagious or communicable" disease. The tests were then performed by the department's Division of Laboratories and Research.
