no place to take patients sick with that
disease, should we be unfortunate enough
to have any. He said that q separate
place should be had to quarantine per-
sons coming from Anaconda and other
infected places; that the same place
should not be used as pest house, for

quarantlned might not have the disease
and it would be putting him right into
The danger to place him in pest house.
