During the cholera scare OF 1892 there was
a strong public sentiment in favor OF such
legislation, but the opposition to IL con-
jurcd up the Old ghost OF State rights, and
the matter was allowed TO drop.
II is not unlikely that the agitation may
nc renewed at some time when there is
danger OF another invasion of yellow fever
or cholera or some equally malignant CON
tagious disease, but the Baltimore incident
proves that the peril of conta giCI by rea-
son OF ineffective quarantine is ever pres
ent and ought to be guarded against. BY
no other means could this be done as eff
:ectively as through the agency OF ma
tional qua arantine Ia W strictly enforced un-
der the immediate direction OF the surgeon

1t is a subject that ought 10 engage the

sentiment should be permittcdto obstruct

tect whole communities against the i'm
portation from foreign lands OF various
kinds of conta gious discas ses.
