tuberculosis is so general that the
asrd Of Health has issued a procla-
/ nstIon to prevent the spread of infec-
fan One of the provisions is against
Kissing. The Board does not make a
,.r,lstion, only a recommendation. The
ss,sion to warn the public was not
,,sebed in time to have the Legisla-
nre PASS a law on the subject, else
ne chances are this would have been
done. the subject being one which
would have appealed strongly.
Cmsumptives are given special warn
hs and advice by the Board through a
circular which win be distributed
tnadcast. printed in half a dozen lam
gages. This circular, prepared by Ex-
satlve Officer Pratt, is in line with SIM
| lar proelamations being made in other
Idies Of the United States, and is of
vital Importance to the people of the
Hsxsiian Islands.
The principal warning of the Board is
decsed against the practice of public
srpeetoration, and the general public as
Esl as consumptiyes. is requested to
iscOntinue the offensive practice.
In this circular the Board also states
that consumption is not necessarily IA
|a neither is it hereditary. A warning
) also directed against the practice of
discriminate kissing, and the Board
gives some valuable advice, which may
gnay not be observed by the people.
The circular was approved by the
Board of Health yesterday and ordered
printed for distribution. 1t is as fol-
