Such regulations shall, as nearly as may be practicable, be uniform throughout the county, both within and without the said municipalities; provided, however, that nothing contained in this section shall be construed to prevent the board from making specific health regulations applying only to such section or sections of said county as may be deemed to require special treatment. The board shall have power and authority to examine into all nuisances, sources of filth, and causes or probable causes of sickness, which may in its opinion be injurious to the health of the residents of such county or of any section or sections thereof.
