Stare Board of Health to their Health Inspectors in placing and
removing quarantine, and that wherever it is neves ary that a patient
be examined that; it be dine only ;:ith the consent and in the presence
of the attending physician, end whatever treatment is administered
by the attending physician it .gust not be changed, criticised Dr
amended by the Health Officer. If any correction or mistake by the
practicing physician is made, the attention to game should be called
