milk from the dairy were found as tubercu-
Ious as the cows On another Vermont farm
where the disease was located, over sixty of
the cows, over one hundred hogs, all the
chickens, the dogs and the family cat were

Edmund A. Parkes, the founder of modern
hygiene, man whose magnificent work has
startled us by its simplicity and yet com
pIeteness, and who has contributed more to
the saving of life than words can express,
defines hygiene as the art of preserving
health:
"It aims at rendering growth more perfect,
decay less rapid, life more vigorous, death
more remote;" and he tells us that If we had
perfect knowledge of the laws of life, and
could practically apply this knowledge in a
perfect system Of hygienic rules, disease
subject, we have to consider with regard to
animals, the air they breathe, the water
they drink, the food they are fed on, the ex-
prevention and eradication of epozootic dis
eases. Our greatest hygienic triumphs have
been won where our advice has been assist
Ell by law, Up to certain point man is
at liberty to do what he likes with his own
property; the law except in the case of GER
tain diseases cannot interfere, and we pos
sess no power of enforcing hygiene; but the
public have right to demand that when
they purchase what purports to be whole
some milk, it shall not have mixed with it
the germs of a deadly disease. The barns

are disgrace to civilized life, and if we
could have camp-meetings in Maine to
preach the .gospel of cleanliness instead
of faith cures and hypnotism, the public
health would be much better protected The
story of Moses leading the children Of Israel
out of Egypt, and solving the, wonderful
problem Of restoring the national health of
diseased and degraded people, by compell-
ing them to live for forty years in conform
ity to the highest sanitary laws, has never
yet reached some of the back towns of
Maine. Governor Cleaves did not need the
lantern of Diogenes to find me two honest
and earnest men DIS associate commissioners
but that our work has in many instances
been ignorantly opposed and interfered
with, is not to be wondered. The property
rights of the owner, the health of the con-
sumner, the liability of the State for indem-
nifty have all to be considered but regard
it to be the first duty of all breeders and
milkmen to eradicate tuberculosis from their
herds, to save themselves and their own
reputation, as well as their customers and
the public at large.
1t has often been asserted and as often
proved that we have far less tuberculosis
in Maine than any other New England State,
as reflected from our annual reports, but
that we have far more than can be con-
trolled by any appropriation yet made to
carry ON the work is very apparent No
other New England State has less than

been an opponent of II almost from the moment of
its enactment and last night repeated the OBJ

under the law as It now stood II was almost i'm
possible TO get an insane patient committed to an
asylum He pointed out that the legal papers TO be
filled out were voluminous that II would take "A

Professor Charles Bostwick followed DR.. Spitzka.
He said that insanity was a disease, not crime,
and with that statement all discussion ended Upon
examination the new law would be found made

the courts and made an examination OF the papers
relating to the commitment OF the insane under
the new law and had found that In every case the
crime charged insanity. 1t no moro
