Health bulletin urged to spread disease knowhow citywide
Washington Board of Trade public health committee chairman Dr Dh Percy Hickling urged a weekly health bulletin for the District of Columbia to translate expert health knowledge into practical guidance for all residents. He said the expense is trivial and would vastly aid milk inspection, bacteria standards, and general disease prevention. The committee also backed legislation to improve milk safety and endorsed establishing a district facility for idiotic, imbecile, and improvident children, noting the current absence of such an institution in Washington.
