HAVE LOST PATIENCE.
Board of Health Will Prosecute All
Violators of the Burial Permit
and Plumbing Rules from
Now On Other Actions.
With a full attendance and every
one brimful of business the board of
health met In regular monthly session
last night. Three radical actions were
taken by the hoard, viz: the Plumbing
Inspector was authorized to prosecute
all vlolatois of the rules governing
plumbing; the secretary was instruct
ed to notify all undertakers and ceme
tery otllelals who disregard the rule of
obtaining burial permits before Inter
ment Is accomplished that prosecution
will follow the next known violation,
and Health Olllcer Allen, in conjunc
tion with Plumbing Inspector O'Mal
ley, was dlteeted to visit the Meadow
Drook Fertilizing plum, In South
Scranton, and to take such action In
connection therewith us was deemed
expedient.
The first aetlun grew out of the re
port made by the plumbing Inspector
in connection with the work ho has
been doing. Ho stated that during his
past year's Inspections he has found
but' one firm who stood out against
the work of the Inspector and resisted
the enforcement of the plumbing laws,
and that llrm was Nolan llrothets. of
Linden street. Further he stated that
he had exhausted every means In his
Iiower. wltli the exception of prosecu;
ing, and nothing was gained.
The board Immediately passed a mo
tion authorizing the plumbing inspec
tor to prosecute to the full extent of
the law ns he saw lit any violations of
the plumbing law.
The second action arose from the re
port submitted by Secretary Murray
by request of the bon-'d In reference
to how consistently mirlul penults
were being obtained. The report in
dicated that sonui cemetery ubsoeiu
tlons did not require any board of
health permit from undertaken). Some
undertakers secured permits anywhere
from one to four days after burial,
apparently for form's sake only. Hence
the board's action. In connection with
this mutter the physicians who return
a contagious disease report after death
has ensued aro to ho prodded In the
future If the neglect continues.
The third nctlon followed tho filing
of complaint made by Alderman Storr
and several other prominent South
Scranton citizens concerning the odor
and filth ut tho fertilizing plant.
Iieulth Ofllcer Dr. Allen's report,
among other things, stated that ho
had investigated the report that a cer
tain dairyman who supplied mllti to
patrons In the city, hnd diphtheria,
rampant In his fnmlly. The report waB
found to be true and the man and his
family were immediately Isolated from
his business. In connection with the
prosecution of Clark and Ileler, who
are accused of tapping the sewer pipe
nt No. 2S school and thereby causing a
diphtheria epidemic, Dr, Allen stated
that the city solicitor was too busy to
assist him up to the present time, The
board told the health olllcer to act as
quickly ui possible, all things being
considered. Seciotary. Lf e, of the Ht,ato
bourd of health, Is reported as saying
In writing of the above matter, that
the pprson ot persons who cut the sew
er pipe outfit to be beheaded.
Secretary Mm ray reported that the
total number of deaths for the month
was 119, of which 111 were due to vari
ous cutlpes from disease nnd eight from
nreldent.il causes. During the month
live bodies were brought here for In
terment and thirty-one were sent out
of the city for interment. One hun
dred births, all white, of which llfty
sl were males nnd forty-four were fe
males, are recorded for the month.
Fifty-three contagious diseases were
loported clussllled as diphtheria, tliltty
one; scarlet fever, eighteen: typhoid
fever, two; measles and membraneous
croup, one euch. Of these thirteen were
fatal as follows: Diphtheria, live: scar
let fever, throe: croup, four, and ty
phoid fever, one. Only twenty-six mar
riages are recorded, nil parties being
white.
The reports of the various officers of
the board of health were submitted for
the month of March and contained only
the usual routine matters connected
with their work.

Hopeless
"Hope Dcrcrrcil
Maketli (lie Heart Sick."
In a city like Scranton there must
be many hundreds of disease-stricken
mortals who, after having liecn
buoyed up by unfulfilled promises
made by unskilled or catch-penny
doctors for several years, have al
most resigned themselves to their
fate, and grown sick at heart in
despair.
Cheer Up

Do not let hope die. There are no twrt
physicians In this state that have had
moieexperience or mjre thorouRh insight
with every form of disease that flesh Is
heir to than the undersigned have had,
and while we cannot cure In every case,
we stand ready to prove that the per
