FRIEDMAN CURE
Health Board Physicians viii
Investigate white Plague
Remedies.

| The friedman cure for tubereu-
Iosis VIII be taken UP by the Board
/ of Health in the near future at tho
suggestion of DR.. H c. H. Heroldy
president of that body. Aside from
discussing the turtle serum treatment
of Dr. friedman the board passed
on second reading the dead animal
ordinance and the two ordinances for
the killing of poultry in public and
private slaughter-houses.
The question of investigating new
tuberculosis cures was brought UP by
DR. Herald when the affairs of the
Verona Sanitarium were discussed by
the board. DR. Herold stated that in
this country little had been done to
follow uD some of the new remedies
now under investigation in Europe.
and he thought that the board ought
to take the subject up. When serum
first came into use, DR.. Herold stated.
he. with DR.. Richard N. Connolly. the
bacteriologist. and DR. Harrison S.
MARYLAND. the pathologist, had made
the necessary investigation. and he
proposed to do so with new cures. OF 4
which some. like the Erich-Hata and
the turtle serum of DR.. Friedman,
in his estimation. merited further rec
search.
The board thereupon resolved, on
motion of Comm ssioner Foyle, Sec
onded by Commissioner Mclean, to
authorize DR.. Herold to make such
an investigation with the aid of DR..
Connolly and DIR. MARYLAND.
The board also considered the ques-
ton of reducing the expenses of help
at the sanitarium and the ACCESSIBILITY
of having the State contribute to the
maintenance of the patients. Along
with this question 1t was discussed
whether the county could not take
over the institution, but this matter
was dropped after Commissioner
Foyle explained that the county
would not be ready for such step.
The whole subject was finally re-
ferred to the committee which has
charge of the sanitarium.
The dead animal ordinance in par
ticular occasioned quite some discuss
sion and reconsideration of the vote
on account of section 5, paragraph 2.
which forbids anybody to remove
dead animal except the constructor
of the city. The section was held by
some of the commissioners to be par
amount to confiscation of private
property, and finally Ii was stricken
out altogether and the amended orr
dinance passed on second reading.
The ordinance provides that nobody
except the city contractor can re-
move a dead animal without permit.
and a fine of $50 of ten days in jail
are provided for violating the ordi-
nance.
The two poultry slaughter-house
ordinances, which were likewise
passed on second reading and ordered
to third reading, concern the public
and the private slaughter-hous
Both must have a permit to run for
one year.
In the case of the public slaughter
houses the cost of the permit is $50
year and the penalty for violations
of the ordinance provides for fine OF
not less than $40 nor more than $50.
AS private slaughter houses all such
places are defined where poultry ia
killed for the trade only or for per-
sonal use. For these the cost of the
permit is $40 and the penalty provided
the same as for the public slaughter
houses.
The effect OF the latter ordinance
VII be that the killing OF pouitry In
private rooms, cellars and like places
Is done away with, as the permit UNI
der the ordinance win only be issued
where proper provisions for killing
poultry in separate building with
certain improvements have been
made.
The board appointed William J.
Foyle permanently as culture coll
lector at a salary of $1,000. Mr.. Foyle
had been in the employ of the board
for several months, but only tenn
porarily until the board received civil
service eligible list on which Mr..
Foyle is highest man.
