DIR. Whites Case.

The city board OF health met yester-
day afternoon in Mayor Rowan's Office.
There were present DR.. Dillingham;,
president; DR.. MacGowan, DR.. Hitch
cock and DR. Powers, health officers, and
Clerk Robinson.
The members were all in good humor,
and the weather was just warm enough
take the sharp edge off the memories OF
Clerk Robinson's Siberian experience,
and all were disposed to dispatch BUSH
ness with alacrity.
The fret thing for confederation was
an ordinance for the regulation OF tho
care of cases of contagious diseases,
which. after some mending, was ap-
proved.
The disposal of the carcasses OF ami
mails came up on q complaint referred
from the city council, which alleged that
the dead bodies were not being disposed
OF according to contract. After, come
discussion the board recommended that
the present contract be annulled and
that new one be made providing for
the cremation of all carcasses.
The applications of &. A. Walker and
r. A. Whittlesey for appointment to the
office of meat and milk inspector were
received. Action was deferred till the
next meeting.
Mrs. DR.. J. III. Smith, formerly Mrs.
DR.. Courcy; the proprietor and manager
OF a hospital on Bellevue avenue, was
examined as to her qualifications as q
midwife. After the lady retired the
matter was discossed pro and con. Mrs
Smith had registered de required by the
new ordinance providing for the regis
tration OF all doctors, druggists, dentists,
midwives and itinerant vendors OF pat
ent or secret medicines.
DIR. Kamame was next hauled over
the Goals by proxy in the form OF an eu-
calyptus inhaler, an innocent looking,
nickel-plsted piped fork with two
prongs. one for each nostril. In the
handle is a lot OF the secret blue gum,
which, when pressed by a spring, is
sauirted up the nose. The machine was
passed around for inspection, and each
of the members pretended to take
sniff.
DIR. MacGowan saw no objection to the
new Kamame racket. DR.. Hitchcock
concurred, while DR.. Dillingham; gave
silent assent. DR.. Powers remarked
that DIR. Kamame had furnished the
secret recipe, and then looked smilingly
ut the reporters and said it was merely
as an evidence OF good faith and not for
publication, and returned 1t to an envel-
ope.
The board unanimously voted to pros-
ecute all parties who should refuse, neg
lect or fail to disclose to the health off.
Ger the secret OF any preparation Of
medicine sold.
DR.. Powers then produced great vol
ume, being the register required by the
new ordinance. He said it contained
the autographs of 146 physicians out of
nearly 300, including irregulars known
to be in the city; also 53 druggists, "a
dentists and one solitary midwife were
therein enrolled.
Clerk Robinson had hardly com.
menced to read the long list OF names,
when DR.. MacGowan suggested that es
the health officer had attended to the
registration he probably knew whether
the persons registered were entitled to
certificates under the ordinance.
This brought the remark from Dr..
Powers that DIR. 7. M. White, at 12S
North Main street, was ineligible.
HE has state diploma" said DR..
Hitchcock.
%, Dut no IL lueIlSl0lo 10 Lnat,
replied DR.. Powers.
The board then ordered the clerk to
correspond with the state board of ex-
aminers, and inform them of DR.. Whites
dehnquencies.
Objections raised to the names OF sev-
eral doctors because they advertise,
were finally adopted.
The board decided to issue permits to
eli persons registered. and ordered that
all parties be sued who shall fell to
register before August 10Th. I.
Adjourned.
