s,
Superintendent Baker wnti ome new
lawi for the better protection of the health
tr Pittiburg. At the coming seision ot the
legislature he will try to get one bill be
fore that body. The diseases he wishes to
cope with are diphtheria and scarlet fever.
He would also like to hare a tenement
bouse act.
"I am coing to write 10 Secretary Lee, of
the SlateBoard of Health," said Mr. Baker
yesterday, "and try to get him interested
in new legislation. Diphtheria and scarlet
ferer are two of the most malignant dis
eases we haTe to cope with, and at the pres
ent time we cannot keep pace with
their spread. We have a system
of caring for smallpox, which has proven
itself very effective. It is now nearly two
weeks since a case of smallpax has existed
within the city. Law aids us in khat As
soon as a case appears we placard the house
and put policemen on guard night and day.
No one is allowed to enter or leave the
bouse.
Their Prompt Action.
"The victim is at once removed to the pest
house, and the bed clothes, bed and all the
effects of the sickroom are burned. Diph
theria and scarlet lever are just as bad, but
we are not allowed to do anything but dis
infect the house. To my mind tney glioma
be treated the same as smallpox.
"Day alter day children die with these
two diseases. The same publicity is given
to these deaths as to that of a man who dies
of old age. The body is kept olten three
davs after death. Children are allowed to
view the remains and in most instances
young folks act as pallbearers. This scat
ters the disease in every direction. The
physicians are noticing this and daily I re
ceive complaints about this practice. I ieel
ale in saying that the majority of the
doctors in Pittbure are with me in this
move. I want a law that would send
victims to a pesthouse and if they died the
funeral would be as promptly alter death as
possible and none but the closest relatives
should be allowed to attend. I think Dr.
Lee is sufficiently interested in this to get
the matter before the Legislature.
Another Glaring Evil.
'Tenement houses are another menace to
the city's health. Landlords are allowed
to rent all sorts of places to people in this
city. Hundreds of persons are living in
hovels I -would not allow anv beast to stay
ib, and are paying $5 and (6 a month rent.
Many of these places are underground and
daylight never reaches them. The air is
foul and thick. I have often gone into one
of these places and found a man sick with a
contagious disease and in the same room
five or six other people would be sleeping.
There is not a letter in the State statutes
which will aid ns in this direction.
"I am considering asking the city Coun
cils to help me. I want three wards built
on the city property on Bedford street for
diphtheria, scarlet fever and erysipelas. All
three are diMases whio none of the city
hospitals will take charge of. Now when
we have a case where the victim has no ,
home there is great trouble in getting any
one to'take charge of it. The city has four
acres Of land in this plot, and, although the
pesthouse is on it, there is plenty of room
to build the other three houses, and all
could be isolated."
For bronchial, asthmatic and pulmonary com
plaints. Brown's Bronchial Troches" have re
markable curative propertin bold only In boxes.
Our venerable friend, Mr. Gobbler, too an
cient for a roasf. Is Riving thanks for having
