DR.. J.. S. Joynes, permanent secretary OF

The failure of our General Assembly at
Its last session to pass the bill making small
appropriation for the purposes of this Board
left 1t in the same anomalous and helpless
condition as before-a state Of mere nominal
existence, without the power to undertake
any serious work In the line marked out for
it. The members of the Board, however,
have not thought this sufficient reason for
dIssolYing its organization, and finally aban-
doning an enterprise commended by the
highest considerations of humanity and pub
lie policy.
'They await with hopefulness the result
of renewed application to the law-making
power for the means of actively prosecuting
the responsible task to which they are ap-
pointed, and laboring with encouragement
for the promotion of the interests of health
