The following statement setting forth the imminent need
of a citylaboratory in Seattle .is kindly |>rej>arcfl for lln
Slur by Dr. Kraut* H. Cue, 320 HurKr buildtaffi whose pin
ions carry great weight with the medical profession of the city :
Sept. ai, 1901.
1 h.ivi been much interested in (he discussion concern*
Ing the milk supply of our city, «■ it has appeared in Iho
Star. lamin M position to tell you anything about the
purity of the milk as m is sold upon this market; that, of
course, must be learned from the chemist. However, their ii
one matter to which I would like to call public attention, and
that is. the absolute necessity for the establishment of a s«n
itary laboratory; or, as it might more properly be called, a
laboratory of hygiene.
The city is put to a large expense annually, and the citi
tens sutler greatly from preventable diseases. The one mat
ter of typhoid fever alone, when you count the loss of time la
the individual, the expense attendant upon the services 01
one other individual, to say nothing of the expense incurred
for physician and medicines, will make a sum total that is very
large for each individual case. The proper view of typhoid
fever is that it is an entirely preventable disease; but it must
be searched for systematical!}, and by persons skilled in that
line of work. The same is trie of other contagious diseases.
The day will come when the city will be held liable for
every case of typhoid contracted within its limits.
In all of our great universities there are establish
ed schools of hygiene and public health; or. more properly
schools of unitary science The graduates of these schools
are men skilled in t&e study of causes of disease, and capable
of instructing the public in sanitary matters. The position of
chief of the laboratory of sanitary science is not one th.it
may be filled by any young doctor—«or old one either—
feels it incumbent upon himself to live at the public expense
This is not an office which wotjld at any time interfere with
the duties of the so-called health officer of our cities.

ject the work of ■ public sanitarian is. I might suggest these
subjects, which arc often, and in fact usually, studied in
schools of sanitary science.
!~'- "Dirt and Disease."
"Kilt and Filth Diseases." '
"Sewage as a Means of Infection; Its Disposal and Puri
fication."
"Water as a Vehicle of Infection: The Pollution of Pub
lic Water Supplies."
"Examination by Am ml riment." (By the way,
the most valuable of all methods of investigation.) f
"Milk as a Vehicle of Infectious Diseases."
"Fermentation of Milk."
"Ordinary Pollutions of Milk. Chemical and Bacterial."
"The Examination of Meat*. Fruits and Confections."
"Supervision of Vaccination, Methods of Sterilisation."
The Scientific Use of Disinfectants." By the way, a
great deal of the disinfectants HÄ« not come within gunshot of
disinfecting, and withal, one o' • sanitarian's most valuable
offices would be the in«tniction°f the people through the public
press of subjects directly connected with the above.
There it no doubt in my m'™* that many of the men who
have served on our board of health have earnestly endeavor
ed to fulfil some of the require™*"l* above specified, but it is
not a matter for the general petitioner. It is absolutely the
work of a specialist.
The expense for the establ""™*"* «' «"ch ■ laboratory
might reach $4500. The sanita^n for ■ city of this siie and
importance should be a man w orth not less than $2000 a year.
Of course, the chance of havinK • MUry of $aoo° would lead
m i eat many men to consider themselves sanitarians; but such
an officer should be drawn frc m the Kra<lu«te r*nk» of •<"«<
of our great universities, whet* cour» in this subject are
mad* special features. Nor sh oul<l " l>€ •«PP°««l for • ro°

Such ■ man ■• thle ' ,ulj n «l be

Woodcock it probably much better

one receiving that (alary. The of

mo.» significant to tha city** health,
and •* it it at pre**nt It* equipment
>. absurdly inadequate to afford any
mea*ur* of tha protection which it
is It* aol* purpose to randar.
Without detracting from the value
of Mr. Woodcock* hard work and
hi* honeit endeavor*, it tin certain*
• / be la.d that a man wh> ha* navar
b*en called upon to pae* an/ •>■
amlnation whatever in chofniatry, la
not qualified to paa* upon milk
which ha* been condemned by a re

cock ha* been vigilant and vigorous
in his work of aurpriairg milk
wagone and aacunng cample* all
ovrr th* city, and ha* dcr.e much
toward enforcing, cleanllnee* about
the dairle* and farmyard*! but thia
jit not the only work that ahould be

Mm running of the milk poitoner. A
*pe<J*l chamiat. qualified to make
delicate t*«t* and deteot the alight

needed to *tand guard over th«
health of th* people, and to do thi*

IT IS IN THE POWER OF THE
