SECOND DAYS SESSION

Unending

In polysyllables unending and in
scientific names unspeakably great,
the doctors discussed subjects unpro-
nounceable at today's session, the
second If the Medical and Chirurgical
Faculty, now assembled here.
Those of the laity present learned
with humility from the interested
discussions the names of many parts
of which these mortal frames are
composed. One old man in the gallery

dear reader, don't blame the old man,

eyes when the buccinator muscle of

cussed subject 'Some Oesophageal
and Bronchoscopic Cases.
! Gentle reader of the doctors doings,
it is hoped you may not feel a mag
nificent scorn and contempt for those
big words they use, for if you do you
must needs put into play that little
muscle known as the levator labii

A very interesting discourse on the
| Pure Food and Drug Act and the cru
sade of the State Board of Health to
compel manufacturers to comply with
its provisions by DR.. Charles Caspari,
Jr., was the salient feature of the
second days session of the Medical
and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland,
in the hall of the House of Delegates
at the State House this mornin e.
Today's meeting Twas marked by an
| increased attendance over that of yes
terday, and the various papers read
were of an interesting character and
evoked much applause from the audi
tors.
In his address, Dr.. Caspari dwelt
at great length upon the inferior char
| acter of ice cream that was being
served the public, and the steps that
have been taken to have all manu-
facturers put forth a standard pro-
duct. The manufacturers, he said,
claimed that the measures taken were
a little too stringent and the inter
ference would force them TO give
away secrcets in the manufacture Of
their cream. Howe yer. he said. that
it had been agreed that all ice cream
must contain at least 4 per cent. milk
fat, and that all factories, as well as
those offering ice cream for sale. will
be compelled TO stamp their product,
so as to inform the public that il con
tains not less than 4 per cent. milk
fat.
In other states, Dr. CaSpari said.
an even higher standard is fixed, but
that the Maryland Board had agreed
/ upon per cent. DR.. Caspari also
referred to the deception in the manu-
! facture of catsup. In mary instances,
he said, simply the skins of tomatoes
are used, and the liquid is then thick
ened with starch. DR.. Caspari also
spoke Of the popularity of the syrups
used on snow balls, a cooling dish that
is served up to little ones on the
streets in the summer months. Steps
have been taken to compel the
stamping Of all fiavors to designate
whether they are imitation or of
pure fruit juices, and thus the public
will know just what they are get
ting. DR.. Caspari's address was
along with a symposium of the ad-
ministration of the State Board of
Health.
DR.. Marshall l.. Price delivered
the Introductory remarks and pa
pers were read by the following
members of the Board: Dr. Will

ogy; DR.. G. w. G. Rohrer, Bureau of
\ Communicable Diseases; DIR. w. B.
ID. Penniman, Bureau of Chemistry; !;
DR.. w. Frank Hines, Bureau of Vital
Statistics, and Mr.. William Pinkney
Whyte, Jr., Legal Aspects of Public
Health Administration.
