OF HEALTH.
BY invitation of the board of health the phy-
slcians to the poor met the members of the
board at their rooms yesterday afternoon for
consultation as to the best means to be adopted
to prevent the spread of small pox. Dr. Gov
stated that it was desired that the physicians
should work together and go from house to house
Nacciuatlng and revaccinating all who have not
been yaccDated within the last five wears Dr.
Nordi suggested that il would be advisable for
physicians in the districts where the small pox
has not made its appearance to unite with thosa
who are i'll the sections where the disease is most
prevalent. He also suggested II ut the contrac-
tors upon the District improvements be notified
that the physicians would appear upon the
stree where work is being performed and there
yacCinate the laborers in their employ, and thus
avoid the Ilsk OF frequent visits to houses in
order To find this class of our citizens at hOms
Those living in the districts where the disease il
The greatest he thought should be opera ted upon
nTst-say the navy yard. where the physicians
should go through the different workshops and
yaccinate and revaccinate each and every one
Alter these localities are finished, then turn
their attention TO the districts where the disease
i next greatest. DIR. Cox did not agree with DIR.
Verdi a. TO the pTacticablIty of vaccinating and
revaccinatlng the employees upon the street i'm
IrOvements while at their work, but thought
the contractors could be instructed to allow the
workmen to assemble at q rendezvous to be
named by the board at a certain hour, there To
be vaccinated and revaccinated. The question
OF payment for services in this work was then
preached by DR.. Adams, and DIR. Cox repljed
that they would receive a salary per diem. Dr.
Adams thought that more work would be per
formed If the physicians received payment for
each vaccination. DIR. Cox replied that this
question would be definitely settled by the hoard
at their next meeting. He then requested the
physicians To consult among themselves and
appoint committee from their number whn
would meet with the board, and report the
decision OF the physicians as To the plan thew
desired to adopt in this work.
