sedous enough proposition to demand
our best thought and the most Vigorous ppiication of all the preventive
measures known to sanitary science. -. One naturalty asks the question,
Why were not at least the-first cares
that appeared in this stats put under
rigid quarantine? 'We quarantine
smallpox and scarlet fever and diphtheria and other contagious diseases Lto dJ
prevent their spread, and the experi.ence of the world in all place has sur
vindicated the wisdom of that precaution. This influenza i more contagious than any other known disease,

Eut one nattirally asks if so simple

not make it a universal requIrement? C
