resolutions:
WHEREAS, The Intelligent interest manifested
throughout the country in sanitary affairs affords
gra flying evidence OF the fact that pOpu ar sym
patty ana support have at last been enlisted In
the great cause of preventive medicines; and
whereas this result is due in great degree to the
se.fsacrifcing labors of public spirited citizens
not members of the medical profession,
RtsolVed, That it is eminenuy proper that the
Boards of Health should publicly acknowledge
the value of the services of those earnest and
faithful workers VINO serve the cause of sanitary
science without the hope of fee or reward other
than the approval of their own consciences and
the promotion of the public welfare.

Association a prominent and welloIganized
body of sanitarians. composed OF many private
citizens and some members of the medical pro
fession, who, by their harmonious cooperation
have merited the public confidence and support

have been characterized by intelligence, efici-
ency, probity and patriotic zeal.
Resolved, That copy OF tue above preamble
and resolutions be transmitted to the secretary of
