STATE HEALTH
LAWS NO HELP,
HURTY SAYS
Hopes to Get Bill He Is Pre
paring Through As
sembly.
THREE FATAL DEFECTS
Existing health laws of Indiana stand
In the way of successfully protecting
citizens of the State from disease, in
stead of acting as a barrier to spread of
epidemics, according to statement of Dr.
J. N. Hurty, secretary of the State board
of health. Dr. Hurty, with other health
officials of the State, is now working on
a system of health prevention and health
laws, a bill for the adoption of which
probably will be presented to the Legisla
ture in its coming session.
Dr. Hurty is strongly of the belief
that new health laws are Leeded in the
fctafe. The present health law is out of
date, sadly unscientific and unequal to
the work of practically applying modern
disease prevention methods, he says. _
; “The present health law falls to pro
duce the best results and the money
..■'.spent is largely wasted,” said Dr. Hurty.
;;Mt la like an old, wheezy, back-number
that can run but little and
• •pull a light load."
The new health law would provide for
all time health officers. The present law
■ provides for employment of doctors for
health officers for such time as they
choose to give from their practice, and
pays county officers one and one-half
-cents per annum per capita of popula
tion served, and pays 2 cents to city and
town health officers.
VIOLATES AGE-OLD
LAW, HE DECLARES.
X “No man can serve two masters,” said
• Dr. Hurty, “yet the law attempts to ac
complish this Impossibility. The doc
tor health officer, being in the practice
IV>f medicine, is in competition with his
-•brother physicians, and. of course, can
’jptot secure their cooperation. Without
Stheir cooperation only partial success in
work is possible
U “Another gross defect in the present
*law lies in the fact that only a few
“doctors, in even slight degree, are edu
cated or trained in disease prevention
Most doctors have studied
Tcures only. They do not know how to
t,,ppiy the ounce of prevention. Their
-.'skill lies in applying the costly pound
of cure.
n “Three fatal defects exist in the pres
ent law. They are:
" “Health officers are doctors giving
• what time they choose to public
*• health work.
“Health officers are practicing doe
!; tors in competition with their
brother doctors, and, therefore, ran
not secure their cooperation and
t! without this cooperation present
£ health officers are only slightly suc
•f cessful.
•• “Health officers are, with excep
tion, uninformed and untrained in
U hygiene and disease prevention work.
• • Their education and training are in

the line of the pound of cure and not
in the line of the ounce of preven
tion. Hence they are not efficient and
economical to the State.
OTHER DEFECTS ARE
OBSTRUCTIVE.
“Other defects, which are only obstruc
tive, not fatal, to Its enforcement, are:
The law does not clearly define health
officers’ duties and powers; it does not
provide adequate pay; it does not pro
vide a health fund, nor does it provide
a proper penalty for failure or refusal
to fulfill duties.
“Anew law, up to date and scientific,
would provide trained health officers
who gave their entire time to keeping
away disease and improving the public
health. Such officers should be ap
pointed from an eligible list upon which
’ they have obtained recognition through
I physical and mental examination,
