Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual for the Use of Boards of Health: Containing the Statutes Relating to the Public Health, the Medical Examiner Laws, the Laws Relating to the Registration of Vital Statistics, and the Decisions of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts Relating to the Same This Manual of the Statutes of Massachusetts, relative to Public Health, has been prepared at the direction of the State Board of Health, for the use of local boards and for all persons directly interested in questions which pertain to public health. A former manual prepared in 1882 by Geo. F. Piper, Esq. Followed quite closely through the first ninety-six sections the numbering employed in the Public Statutes. In consequence of the introduction of many new statutes, enacted Since 1882, and the repeal of others, such numbering has necessarily been abandoned in the present manual, as well as that of 1886, while the general order of subjects is preserved as closely as possible. A slight change has been made in'the order of sections under the title of infectious diseases, hospitals, etc. The marginal notes contain the references to the chapters and sections of the Public Statutes, and also to such health laws as have been enacted Since 1882. The dates in heavier type opposite some of the sections are the years in which those statutes, or laws essentially the same, together with their amendments, were enacted. The laws relating to the medical examiners, and also those relating to the registration of vital statistics, both of which are of special interest to the medical practitioner, are introduced in the present edition of the manual.
