The report from the Kslihi receiv
ing station shows that total OF
twenty-one lepers have been re-
ceived at that place, two of whom
where kokuas. On motion they were
ordered forwarded to Molokai by the
first boat.
! Mr.. Reynolds stated he would go
! to the settlement by the same boat,
as per the order of the board of
/ health at the last meeting.
The president read the following
/ letter from DIR. Williams of Hilo:
HILo, Oct. 18th, 1898.
Mr.. CHAs. WILCOX, secretary, board
of health, Honolulu.
DEAR SIR: Yours of october oath
duly received. lido not know Of any
one Just now who wishes to be vac
cinated, but will make inquiries be-
fore next mail.
We have in our midst two cases of
scarletina of a mild form. Strict quar-
antine regulations are being enforced
by the sheriff, and l hardly think
there will be an epidemic of the dis
ease.
All reports, including this month, [
shall forward by the steamer Hall,
leaving Kau the first of next week.
Enclosed l send requisition for
drugs.
Yours truly,
r. B. WILLIAMS.
President Smith asked the opinion
of DR.. Andrews.
DR.. Andrews stated that he con-
sidered scarletina was a dangerous
disease and should be quarantined.
After considerable discussion it
was decided that DIR. Andrews should
write to DR.. Williams ordering quar-
antine and that all mail should be
disinfected out of that district.
Mr.. Lansing said it was his opinion
the Kinau should be quarantined
when she arrived.
President Smith said he thought
a special session could be held next
Friday before the Kinau left.
The special meeting was ordered
to be held at the office of w. 0. Smith
on Friday morning at 9 o'clock.
Mr.. G. 3. Reynolds, agent of the
board, reported that there were three
cases of diptheria. Mr.. Reynolds
said the cases had been imported and
the first had been attended and re-
ported as membranous, or rife, by
DR.. McLeanan. Since then one of
the children had died and the house,
which is on School street, near
Liliha, has been quarantined.
DIR. McLennan claims that he 're
ported the same to the agent of the
board of health as soon as practical
after the characteristic symptoms of
the case developed, and before" he |
was aware members of the board had
visited his patient.
Some discussion followed as to the
law on the point of physicians re-
porting to the board of health on |
contagious diseases, and President |
Smith read the following section
from the compiled laws:
1t shall be the duty of every physi-
clan having patient infected with |
the small pox, or any other disease
dangerous to the public health, to |
give immediate notice thereof to the
beard of health, or its nearest agent,
N writing, and in like manner to re-
port to said board, or its agent, every
ease of death which takes place in his
from any such disease; and
every physician who shall refuse or
neglect to give such notice, or make
such report, shall be fined for each
)ffense a sum not less than ten, nor
more than one hundred dollars.
The secretary was notified to ask
DR.. Atcherley as to the particulars of
he case as known to him before the
Heath of the child.
Secretary Wilcox read the follow
ng letter which is self explanatory:
