Opinion Given by
Atty. Gen. Dept. on
Health Dept. Query

Deputy Attorney General William
III. Fisher has just rendered an opin-
ion in reply 10 a query by DIR. George
ii. Coombs. director of the division
of NcnCreal diseases of the State
Health Department, regarding the
proper construction of that part of
Section 129 of Chapter 30I of the
Public Laws of 1919, which provides
that an inmate of correctional in
stitution afflicted with one of the
infectious diseases mentioned shall
be continued under medical treat
mcnt, care and custody until bis dis
charge.
you arc advised that the sole
power to sentence to correctional in
stitutions is given by law TO our
courts and We cannot believe that
such a person can be legally detained
beyond the term of his sentence
simply because he happens to be
diseased" says Mr.. Fisher in his
opinion. "lle is n prisoner and liable
to detention in the correctional in
stitution only so long as his sentence
lasts and when that is expired he is
entitled to discharge from such i'm
rriSonmcnt. lie may, however. be
subject To quarantine regulations

1t Doesn't Satisfy

Thousands OF sufferers have freed
themselves from the bondage of rhcu-

ing pain; reduced the swollen joints:
thrown away canes and crutches. and
from helpless beings became able to
work and be of use to themselves and
their families.
They took Rheuma; the modern en-
envy Of rheumatisl1. lumbago. sciatica'
Don't be skeptical about Rheuma.
You will know in few hours after
beginning the treatment that the
poisonous uric acid is leaving your
system through the natural channels;
You will feel better in day; you Will
know you are going to be helped in less
than a week.
Don't think because Rheuma is not
expensive that it won't bring you back
to health. There is no guess work
about it. That's why Fletcher's Phar-
macy and good druggists everywhere
soil it with guarantee of money back
if it does not give quick and blessed re-
lief almost at once.-Ady.
