EDITORS LEDGER People begin tC
believe that Boards of Health are sub
lime humbugs. They and their multifa-
rious adjuncts squander money, dispense
medicines, have absurd quarrels, frighter
ignorant people, expel trade from cities
publish luminous debates, which serve
to advertise professional learning, or ig'
norance, make DEGREES against epidem
les, as potent as papal bulls against
comets. They do all these things, and
then retire when Jack Frost nips

Pile have read the announcement recited

These ten thousand readers of five daily
newspapers have communicated the
frightful intelligence to fifty thousand

from Grand Junction it was cur
rently reported that the Board OF
Health was stricken down, to man, by
yellow fever. Ten thousand people have
been kept away from the city by this
terrible illumination Of the Board of
Health. Each of the ten thousand would
have left ten dollars to loosen q tight
money market. The first item, there
fore, in. the bill rendered against the
doctors, is the small sum Of 100000.
