According to Dr. Pasternak, as the case was not one of accidental death, nor one where the deceased had died before a physician was tn attendance twenty-four hours, it properly belonged to tho jurisdiction of the Boant of Health. Unless the Boal accepts the certificate as filed, it is the intention of Dr, Pastemmak to ask for @ mandamus compelling such action, ‘The complaining doctor says that when he was caljed in to attend his patient on Deo, 21 sho was suffering from measles, He notified the Board of Health, and was told that when he re- ported the case as cured they would fumigate the room in. which the girl was, A week ago last Tuesday, tt ts sald, a squad of Health Department men went to the girl's home and re- moved her from a warm bed to a cold room during the three hours in which they were fumigating the place, The girl lay shivering in her mother's arms all this time, She was then re- covering from ah attack ‘of pnetimonia which followed the measles, ‘I'he physician claims that he was not con- sulted by the Health Board at any time, He says that within the next thirty- aix hours the girl was ‘atrioken with double pneumonia, which was ene about by the criminal negligence of the department, She died at in yester- day.
