SEATTLE WEEDS A CITY LABORATORY Phe following statement setting forth the imminent need fa city laboratery in Seattle was kindly prepared for The Star by Dr, Frantz H. Coe, 320 Burke building, whose opin ons carry great weight with the medical profession of the city Sept. a1, 1903. I have been much interésted in the discussion concern- ing the milk supply of our city, as it has appeared in The Star, I am in no position to tell you anything about the purity of the milk as it is sold upon this market; that, of course, must be learned from the chemist. However, there is one matter to which I would like to call public attention, and that is, the absolute necessity for the establishment of a san- jitary laborntory; or, as it might more properly be called, a laboratory of hygiene, The city is put to a large expense annually, and the citi- zens suffer greatly from preventable diseases, The one ma |ter of typhoid fever alone, when you count the loss of time to |the individual, the expense attendant upon the services of ¢ other individual, to say nothing of the expense incurred for physician and medicines, will make a sum total that is very large for each individual case. The proper view of typhoid | fever is that it is an entirely preventable disease; but it must be searched for systematically, and by persons skilled in that line of work. The same is trie of other contagious diseases. The day will come when the city will be held liable for jevery case of typhoid contracted within its limits. | In all of our great universities there are establish- testimony of the phy ns of the) anxious eyes of helpless city, and cannot be ignored longen! these things may be averted. with decency The city laboratory will be ready THE PEOPLE ARE ROUGED TO) to test milk and solid foods prompt THE NEED OF ACTION The) ly and give warning if either con formaldehyde evi! ie one that strikes tain any substance injurious to th the families of the city in their own health of consumers, Aside from) homes, when little children lis toss-| this the be epecia ing in fevers or wasting away before charge to promptly guard against the eyes of their helpless parents,|the insidious dangers of infection and long lines of. carri follow | through foods, the most destructive | little white hearses out to the com-/and wide-spreading peril of all eteries almost daily, the grief-strick-| The poor, the chosen and favor: en parents of the city can no longer |ite victims of unserupulous be appeased with the platitudes of poisonere will find in the city labor the milkman, who im that his |atory PROTECTION FROM THE milk is pure; THE FAMILY PHY- COMMON ENEMY OF GREED SICIAN DECLARES TO THE AND FRAUD.

This is not an office which woyld at any time interfere with the duties of the so-called health officer of our cities.
