THAT BOARD OF HEALTH BOMB
SHE'LL.

The Iowa board OF health has
taken a most serious step in the
stringent rules which it has laid
down governing yenereal diseases.
The rules practically constitute a
quarantine OF the person SO afflict.
only of cases of such disease but
oblige druggists and those dealing
| in the sale of drugs and preparations
used in its treatment to keep rec
ords of sales, names, sex and ad-
dresses of persons making. purchases
of such medicaments: All physlc,,
ians, nurses, attendants, hospital
judges must make reports to may
ors or township clerks. These offic-
ials are required to order those so
afflicted into quarantine where the
patient must remain until released
by the physician of the local board
airy as compared with present and
past custom Of dealing with those
diseases. 1t is also made the duty
of officers to Investigate all cases OF
diseases of the specific character UNI
der discussion and these officers are
given extraordinary powers to ex-
anime all suspects.
health have the force of statutes un-
der the Iowa law. These quasi stat
utes were drawn by the attorney
general and appear to have the full
cooperation and favor of the. gov
ernor, who is quoted as declaring
that their every provision will be en-
forced. No doubt the rules were
fastened by the conditions at Des
Moines and the federal interference
on account of the cantonment con-
venient to that city, but If SO, the
situation only fastened the desire OF
the health board to create such
health rules. They have been in
contemplation for some time and a
bill to their common effect was in
troduced in recent legislature.
How far they will be enforced of
course remains to be seen. The
board of health, if it chooses to do
so, may make serious trouble with
the physician who refuses to con-
form to it's rulings. perhaps even to
the revocation of certificates to
practice in Iowa. The department
of justice, if it chooses to do SO,
can assail the tenure of mayors ana
officers under the present statute.
If the governor and the attorney
general and the board OF health are
working in harmony and with COM
mon intent to enforce the rules as
laid down some shocking revelations
may be expected in the state
