Iowa Falls, April 25.--Can osteo-
paths sign death certificates or treat
contagious diseases? This is a new
point for the state board Of health and
the legal department Of the state to
determine. 1t appears that health
officer of the old school threatened to
arrest on osteopath, who was treating
a patient infected with a contagious
disease unless the osteopath went into
quarantine with the patient and re-
manned there. The health, officer main
tanned that only regular physicians
could go in and out of quarantine and
that inasmuch as an osteopath was not
recognized as a regular physician, this
privilege was denied. In another in
stance, health officer refused to is
sue a burial permit, on the grounds
that an osteopath was not regularly
recognized physician and therefore had
no right to sign death certificate and
that a permit could not be issued until
physician Of the regular schools sign
ed the death certificate for a case that
had died under osteopathic treatment.

there were dangerous air-holes in the
