DIR. Neale's Opinion.

OBSERvER:-The average Pennsyl-
vanian is more or less afflicted with
catarrh of the nose and throat which
lessons the normal sensiblity of the
nerves of sight and SMELL In conse-
quence Of the members OF the Board
of Health not being exempt from
this affliction of mankind, the Secretary
will furnish nuisance blanks at the re-
quest of Mr.. Observer, upon which he
can specifically designate the cause of
his complaint, when 1t will receive Of
fetal attention. II our conclusions are
correct, we think we, as the Board of
Health. have not received the proper
encouragement for the faithful perform
ance of our several duties, by the pres
ent principal of our schools, town coun-
Gil, street commissioner, or the citizens
in general. In my opinion our efforts
should be cooperative. Mr.. Observer,
If he be citizen, has duty to perform
as such, as well as each and every one OF
us, and IL he will clean his back yard,
take care of his kitchen garbage, he
may stimulate his neighbor to do as
well, and in consequence promulgate an
infectious effort at hygenic living, even
in Reynoldsville. Mr. Observer, will
you please meet with us and give us
your hygenic ideas? The president will
call meeting for this purpose II you
so desire. J. b. NEALE, Inspector.
