One of the most important measures
which promises to become law at this
session of Congress IS the quarantine bill
which recently passed the House,
and which, it is believed, will do much
to keep cholera out of this country next
spring and summer. This bill requires
all vessels clearing fer the Uuited States
to obtain from the consul of this Gov
eminent at the port of departure bill of
health, and the President is authorized
to detail medical officer to serve in the
office of the consul of any foreign port
for the purpose of furnishing informa-
ion and giving such bills of health
On the arrival of an infected vessel at
any port not provided with proper facil-
lies 70. treatment the Secretary of the
Treasury may remand the vessel to the
nearest national or other quarantine.
