THE HEAX,TH BULLETIN 20T been violated with impunity, the difficulty in the enforcement of the ordinance becomes much greater. In the investigation of complaints of unsanitary conditions, remember that many complaints arise from petty jealousies and animosities. Such personal feeling should invariably be borne in mind and should have no effect on the fairness of your decisions. The habitual complainer is a sore trial to the health officer, but his legitimate complaints cannot be ignored. Do not threaten drastic action unless you are ready and able to carry it out. Administration of public health affairs on a basis of "bluff" will soon show its weak spots. Many businesses which in themselves are legitimate and which are not in themselves nuisances, become such when improperly conducted. The unsanitary conditions and those constituting the nuisance may frequently be abated without abolishing the business or institution. All citizens are given certain inalienable rights which must be borne in mind, but neither the Constitution nor the law gives to any man the right to follow the dictates of his own desires to the danger or injury of the public. Under no circumstances permit yourself to be influenced by commercial or financial arguments to conceal the truth as to the public health conditions of your community from the people. The denial of the existence of smallpox in a community will not prevent the spread of the disease. Frankness on the part of a health officer is one of the greatest safeguards of the public health. Withholding the truth, except under the gravest and most unusual circumstances, is a violation of your trust. If you are the legally appointed or elected health officer and the ordinances place upon you certain responsibilities and give you certain powers, be health officer in fact as well as In name, remembering that for your errors and your faults no one will care to share the censure and the blame. Be firm without being tyrannical. Be reasonable without being lax. Be courteous without weakening your administration. Play no favorites.— Wisconsin Health Bulletin. RESOLUTIONS AGAINST PATENT MEDICINE The Position of the American Public Health Association as Regards the Sale of and Claims for Store Medicine Whereas, The widespread use of and traffic in patent medicines and secret nostrums constitute a grave menace to the public health, and Whereas, Such patent medicines and nostrums, because of the deceptive advertising regularly employed in promoting their sale, consistently oppose the influences seeking to educate the public to a better understanding of the nature, causes and proper treatment of disease, and Whereas, The bulwark of this traffic is secrecy and mystery, Be it resolved, That the American Public Health Association heartily endorse the ordinance of the New York City Department of Health, requiring the manufacturers of proprietary remedies, sold without a physician's prescription, to file with the department a statement of its active constituents and therapeutic claims, and Be it further resolved. That this Association recommend to other municipalities the adoption of this or similar measures for the proper safeguarding of the public health. If you would be healthful and efficient, keep your head up, your shoulders back, and make it a habit to keep the back of your neck pressed against your collar.
