Interesting to Medical Men

Interesting to Medical Men
From the Adams Centinel (Gettysburg, Pa.), 23 February 1820, page 3

The District Medical Society of Baltimore in a report on the subject of the late Yellow Fever in that city, says----

"The doctrines of contagion and importation, receive no countenance from this society."

And to conclude by recommending that two laws be repealed.

"First--That restricting hogs from running at large.--Second "That which makes it penal to throw kitchen offals in the street."

And we think we have it hard.. haha....
