OF DIPHTHERIA.
Legislation Recommended by the Com
mittee Of the Medical Society.

The medical society of the District has made
public the report of the committee on the
question of the adequacy of the present regu-
lations for the prevention Of diptheria in
Washington, which will be considered at the
meeting of the society on the S0th Of this month.
The report states that it is found that no
physician in the District nor other person is
required to notify the health officer of the ex-
istence of any contagious disease except that Of
smallpox. There was law passed by the
1872, authorizing the board of health whenever
the District was threatened with an epidemic
to make regulations to prevent its spread.
But this was superseded by resolution
of Congress, which made regulations re-
garding smallpox, but omitted anything
relating to scarlet fever, diphtheria or measles,
and at present
THE HEALTH OFFICER has NO POWER
to make regulations affecting these diseases.
The health officer could, indeed, the report
says inspect school houses when disease is
known to be present. but he has no means of
knowing this except by common rumor, and
when we reflect on the various ways in which
scarlet fever and diphtheria are propogated,
mainly by means of infected clothing worn on
the persons of children, or other persons
exposed to the disease in the street cars aud
other public vehicles, dispensaries, school
houses, Sunday schools. churches, &C., the
committee are sure that the influence Of this
society could make itself felt in the community
in no better way than by recommending that
suitable committee of discreet members of the
society be appointed to urge upon the District
committees of the House and Senate
THE NECESSITY FOR A LAW
to meet the requirements Of the case. The
growth of the city and increase in the number
of schools, they think, makes it very important
that some regulations should be made to pre-
vent the spread of these diseases. They re-
commend that every scholar in the public
schools be required to produce a health GER
tifcate from the family physician declaring
that the scholar has been vacinated, and that
he has not, within period of thirty day. been
exposed to measles, scarlet fever or diphtheria
at homes and that penalty should be attached
for the violation of this regulation.
They recommend that the law relating to
smallpox be amended so as to include within
its provisions these other diseases, and that the
regulations requiring isolation, warning sig
mails, &C., be strictly enforced.

suicide i'm Washington, reached this city
