Some time ago Mr.. y. T. Lamb, agent

Bonrd Of 1Iarbor Commissioners stating
that he will no longer REQUIRE the ser

physicians who rank with the best In

said, the limo has gone by when phyai-
c!bns alone can adequately deal with the
hygiene and sanitation Of modo5r cities.
The control Of a board OF health ought
t, bo placed with those who have quail
fed themselves for the specific work Of
hygiene and sanitation. Wa see that,
though the physician OF mo lerl days Is
we'll instructed in toxlcology, lie will not,
as his predecessors used to do. tinker

on, but will submit 1t to chemist; and
that, though much time and expense arc
nowadays bestowed on instruction In bac-
te,ology no physician Of good sense con-
siders himself competent to take the
place of the trained bacterioiogist.

Behind these checks Is the following
thoroughly well-authentieFted story,
which will be jidIcially aired at this or

There are several distlllcrs in this in

at some other time testify that IN 1901
when the question Of the selection Of a
revenue agent to succeed Agent 1'atter
son, or to be hlsassstant, came up, Mr.
Blackburn undertook for certain amount
or money to prevent the appointment Of
]. j. Britt, whom the dlstillers were
afraid Of, and secure the selection Of an
officer they considered their friend. Britt
was defeated, although backed by the
most powerful organization and official
recommendation. and the man Mr.. Black
burn espoused got the appointment. One
or these dlstillers says unhesltatlngly that
he contributed part Of d large fund to
Blackburn for the purpose of securing the
appointment OF this man, and that It was
SO understood, and that his checks to
Blackburn can be produced to torrobor-
alto his statement, If they are wanted by
the government.
