Press dispatches from various
points record the beginning OF a
new and most important movement
in the interest of public health-the
medical inspection of cooks and

taurants.

with these diseases. Sometimes

In Toronto the public health ON

restaurants. This order Affects more
than 1000 persons.
In Boston an occupationai clinic
has been opened by the city health
