Our County llonnl of Health wai In session Wednesday, of this week. and after an exhaustive discussion of the quarantine question on account of the prevalence of the Influenza, throughout the rnuntv. come tn the conclusion, that us long as some phy- siciuns wauiu nm report their cases, und im irgurd tmld tn the law, It seemed useless for the Hoard to go to the cxiienso nf holding meeting', nnd the Sheriff bald costs of quaran tining, when It Is nnl obeyed by tin art is quarantined, and people run at urge from the hnim-s so quarantined. A lame mnnber of Influenza ru.r.i have previillnl where tin physician has utterly failed to report the same, nnd In some cases they have reported their patient as having only an or dinary cold, rather than to huxe them quarantined, and thus the disease hat spread hugely through their action. ii is useless inr lite county, lionni or health to try to stainn nut th din- ease when the physicians will not net in iinrmony wnu them, ny reporting their rases, and Insisting on iiiciiiIhv nf the household where the disease prevails in obeying strictly tho onler of quarantine.

The nhyslclnn who falls to rennil a contagious disease lays himself llahlo tinner tne law, to rorreil his license to practice but like so tunny of our laws, they are nil.

Hut it is an ill wind that doesn't blow somebody somo good. It Is tn the credit of some nf the physicians, thnt they have proniptly ii-portcd their rases, hut somo hnvo nut done so. and hence the Innocent must pay the cost of this carelessness.
