At meeting of the Board of Health
Wednesday evening the case of Job Will
kins and family who have been violating
the provisions Of the health code, was re-
ported. During the report it appeared
that the family had been placed in quar-
antIne by order of the attending physician,
who reported one of the daughters sick
with scarlet fever. Another physician
declared the case to be one of German
measles, and, on his advice, the Board Of
Health raised the quarantine.
The attending physician and colleague
both insisted that the first diagnosis was
correct, and the family was again placed
under restriction. Owing to the diversity
of opinion among the physicians the Will
kins family did not know just what to do,
but insisted on going out. A constable
was detailed to watch the house and en-
force the observance of the quarantine.
After some discussion the Board decid-
ed to prosecute the offenders as soon as
the quarantine is raised.
