County Board of Health Meet
ing, November 4th, 1898, in
Educational Hall.

This meeting of the County Boards
of Health should 10 be the most interest
ing of any yet held, 1t should be for a
number of reasons. But it is not only
the privilege-but we think the duty OF
every trustee, township clerk and con-
sta BILE in the county, and as we'll, every
member of any board Of health in the
county, who has taken an oath to per
form the duty of sanitary officer, to be
present at this meeting and review and
impart, knowledge relative to this-the
most important of sll, save only those of
Christian import and consideration that
may come to our mind in this life, viz:
HEALTH.
The first paper is by DIR. Young, a
most entertaining and accomplished
writer-on the Vegetable Poisons. 10
this paper you will get the benefit of the
Doc tors work for number of months
| in looking up all the authorizes on this
very important subject. Gather from
him the "cream" of all the knowledge
on the subject. Is the subject one of
in nterest to you? Think, a M 1ment,
then answer. Then glance over the pro-
gram and see the character and ability
of the men who are to talk on this sub
ject-not long speeches; but few mo
nents, giving to you the best of their
knowledge and research on the subject.
Immediately following is the paper on
| Quarantine, by DR.. Aikey, ofLewistown
DR.. Aikey is recogn ID by the profes-
sion all over the county as a good stu
dent, great reader. and an entertaining
writer, and will speak to us on the NOW
most important subj act for the west and
north, and in fact ell the county to con-
slider, how and when to quarantine.
From this paper, those interested with
the power and authority of boards of
health, will learn the best and most
proper way to look after the most deadly
diseases known to humanity. This
paper and discussion will we'll pay you
for the time spent in attending this
meeting.
The afternoon paper is by Prof. Brit
ton on the Care of Meats. Ia this paper
the Prof. will explain to us if it is proper
for butchers to use old buildings polluted
and befouled with dirt and nastiness
sufficient enough to tell the citiz ans for
miles around by the reekipg odor ema-
n ating from it, that there must be by
the way it smells, butcher house in
the neighborhood. Also he will explain
to you the propriety of killing meats in
such place; loading it in dirty old
wagon and hauling it two or three miles
throuh the dust and dirt, with nothing
to protect it from any and all the naeti-
ness that may be gotten from such
trip, hang it up in shop filed with
flies, where it may gather disease and
death from it, and the excretion of three
or four or half dezsn loafers soaked
with beer and tobacco. All such things
will be taken into consideration by the
Prof. And in the discussion of all this,
we are interested and ought to combine
to bring about change in this matter.
AuO LILO paper ny LII. SOFiuStoA Ou

terest to every man owning a farm
through which the stream of Possum
Run fows-a stream into which most
of the offal and excretion from the entire
town empties, and is go carried to their
lands below US, and comes back to US in
both beef and butter.
All il all, this meeting is of great
Importance, and if you will lend us your

good may be accomplished.
