Show CITY PHYSICIAN'S HEALTH CERTIFICATE. Under instructions from the health committee of the city council, the women of the alley are under the watchful eye of the city physician. This is supposed to bo one of tho methods employed in Franco to prevent pre-vent the spread of disease, but medical medi-cal authorities tell us it Is no longer looked upon as & safeguard and. in that it is a false notice of lessened danger, the practice is to be discredited. There should be some form of inspection in-spection and control, but only to a very limited decree can a city physician phy-sician detect that which may develop a plague spot, and, therefora, a certificate cer-tificate of health in such cases is often of-ten but a snare. There are diseases which can blight the life of the victim. Anything which tends to cleanse a place of such sores should bo applied, but the wisdom ot the ages has battled against these afflictions af-flictions without any great degree ot success. |
