ORIGIN OF QUARANTINE.
Or. Richard Mead's Action During the
Plague Of f721.

Plague OF 1721.
To DIR Richard Mead, who was In
consultation at the deathbed of Queen
Anne and became physician to George
l.. was due the credit of having first
established quarantine.
In 1921, when the plague ravaged
Marseilles and it's contagious origin
was discredited, DR.. Mead declared the
plague to be "a contagious distemper,"
and a quarantine was enjoined. He
also proposed a system Of medical po-
lice, which finds its counterpart In the
health officers OF today. 1t was he
who declared, "As nastiness is great
source OF infection. so cleanliness is
the greatest preventative"
He 1t was who said nearly 200 years
ago: IF there be any Contagious Dis
temper In the Ship the Sound men
should leave their Cloaths, which
should be burnt, the men washed and
shaved and. having fresh Cloaths,
should stay in Lazaretto-that is,
quarantine-thirty TO forty days. The
reason for this is because Persons may
be recovered from a Disease them
selves and yet retain matter Of Infec-
ton about them a considerable time"
In practice Mead was without a RI
val, his receipts averaging for several
years between $4,000 and 1900. an
enormous sum In relation to the value
Of money at that period. He possessed
a rare taste for collecting. But his
books, his statues, his medals, were
not to amuse only his own leisure.
The humble student. the unrecom-
mended foreigner, the poor inquirer,
derived as much enjoyment from these
treasures as their owner. At his table
might be seen the most eminent men
Of the age. Pope was a ready guest,
and the delicate poet was sure to be
RECALLED with his favorite dish OF
sweetbreads

the conduct of Elks clubs in part as
follows:
The manner in which the clubs
connected with some of the subordi-

places public scandal. Liquor is
sold either in open violation of the
laws o fthe land or some miserable
subterfuge is resorted to in evasion
CT these laws, thereby trampling un
