History notes:

St 1869, c 420 established the State Board of Health and Vital Statistics, generally known as the State Board of Health. It was abolished by St 1879, c 291, which transferred its functions to the State Board of Health, Lunacy, and Charity. St 1886, c 101 renamed that body the State Board of Lunacy and Charity and reestablished the State Board of Health.
