council in making the same and the
excellent selection of delegate will
be better understood when the impor-

ally known and the necessary qualifi-

Ing for the ablest and best talent of
the country in the line of the various
topics to be discussed
DR.. Moorehead, though at present
engaged in different lines, is a stud
snt all the time and Aeeps fully
abreast with the progress of medicine,
hygiene and kindred subjects. He is
a recognized authority on these topics,
not only at his own home city, but in
Iowa and neighboring states. Too Of
ten men are appointed DELEGATES to

the intelligent and cultured under.
standing they have of the subjects to
be discussed and acted upon in these
conferences or congresses, or at their
own or the solicitation of influential
friends. In this case it was different
and the council acted wisely. DR..
Moorehead was unsolicitous in the
matter and probably was much sur
prised when the appointment was prof
fered to him, and no friends were
present to urge it. The appointment
is a credit to the members of the coun-
Gil and a just tribute to the accom-
plishments and merits of DR.. Moore.

The necessity of 8 more general vac l cination in this state is touched upon in the bulletin of the state board ot health. During March 6S cases of smallpox were reported in Connecti- cut. Commenting on this. Dr. J. Fl | Townsend in the bulletin says; Vac cination has been badly neglected foI number of years. In nearly all the l present cases the patients have never been successfully vaccinated and none within ten years. The protection se- cured by a single vaccination Is moi perpetual in all persons. Therefore re- vaccination should be practiced after g | few years, especially is the disease ic 1 prevalent. Quarantine will not stamT out smallpox Vaccination and vacci- l nation alone will prevent it."
