court plaster at his office during the
past two weeks 10 paper a house.
Every mail brings samples of court
plaster from every section of the
state with requests that il be exam
ined TO determine whether it con-
tains any deadly germs.
Ever since a story was sent out
from Kansas 10 the effect that a
German peddler had attempted TO
spread typhoid fever through court
plaster. the office of the Michigan
board of health has been kept busy
answering letters from persons in
this state who have purchased court
plaster from canvassers and who are
afraid they are being made the OBJ
ject of some sort Of a halt.
One man in Hillsdale county was
certain a stranger had sold him
some court plaster which he feared
had been inoculated with leprosy
germs. The PSYCHOLOGISTS in the
laboratory of the state board Of
health made a very thorough ex-
animation and arrived at the conclu-
sion that the court plaster had not
been tempered with in any manner
No More Examinations.
DR.. Olin, however, has decided
that his department has something
else 10 do besides examine court
plaster, and he announced Saturday
that hereafter none would be exam
ined unless accompanied by an
order from the prosecuting attorney.
This will enable the state board OF
health to charge the expense back
20 the county if IL becomes neces-
sary TO hire extra help TO do this
work.
