When the police or other person or authorities destroy a dog for any of the causes herein mentioned, it shall be his or their duty to immediately notify the said department thereof and of the location of its body, so that the same may be obtained by the said department; and it shall be unlawful to remove any such dog or the body of any such animal heretofore mentioned except as herein provided. (Id., sec. 132.)

Infectious Diseases.

§ 133. It shall be the duty of every physician to report to the Department of Health, in writing, the full name, age and address of every person suffering from any one of the infectious diseases included in the list appended, with the name of the disease, within twenty-four hours of the time when the case is first seen:

A.- Contagious (very readily communicable): Measles, rubella (rotheln), scarlet fever, small-pox, varicella (chickenpox), typhus fever, relapsing fever.

B.- Communicable: Diphtheria (croup), typhoid fever, Asiatic cholera, tuberculosis (of any organ), plague, tetanus, anthrax, glanders, epidemic cerebro-spinal meningitis, leprosy, infectious diseases of the eye (trachoma, suppurative conjunctivitis), puerperal septicaemia, erysipelas, whooping cough.

C.-Indirectly communicable (through intermediary host): Yellow fever, malarial fever.

Note. In this provisional classification of the infectious diseases, arranged for practical purposes, the most readily communicable of these diseases, embracing the exanthemata and typhus fever, have been placed in a group by themselves and called contagious. This has been done with a view to emphasizing a distinction, which is not only of scientific significance, but of practical importance, in dealing with the sanitary features of administration. This distinction is furthermore of importance because it avoids the misunderstanding and alarm frequently caused by including in the same class the very readily communicable disease (such as small-pox), and the much less communicable diseases (such as tuberculosis), which require very different sanitary measures for their control. (Id., sec. 133.)

§ 134. It shall be the duty of the commissioners or managers or the principal superintendent or physician of each and every public institution or dispensary, in this city, to report to the Department of Health, in writing, the full name, age and address of any person suffering from any one of the infectious diseases included in the list appended, with the name of the disease, within twenty-four hours of time when the case is first seen:

Communicable: Influenza, lobar pneumonia, bronchomonia, infectious diseases of the gastro-intestinal canal

(dysentery, cholera morbus, cholera infantum, summer diarrhoeas of infants).

B.- Parasitic diseases of the skin: Scabies, tinea tonsurans, impetigo (contagious), favus.

Note.- In this list of diseases reporting is required by the Department of Health in order that data may be obtained for general and special investigation of the modes and sources of infection and as to the prevalence and distribution of these diseases. The Department of Health does not purpose to exercise a sanitary surveillance in these cases, but desires information with a view to the ultimate removal or improvement in the conditions which now foster them. Notification is required in certain of these diseases because of the liability to their extension among the children in schools. (Id., sec. 134.)

§ 135. It shall be the duty of every physician to report forthwith, in writing, to the Department of Health, the death of every person who dies from, or while suffering with, any infectious disease, and to state in such report the specific name and type of such disease. (Id., sec. 135.)

§ 136.

every person afflicted with tuberculosis, who is in their care or who has come under their observation, within one week of such time. It shall be the duty of every person sick with this disease and of every person in attendance upon any one sick with this disease, and of the authorities of public and private institutions or dispensaries, to observe and enforce all the sanitary rules and regulations of the Board of Health for preventing the spread of pulmonary tuberculosis. (Id., sec. 138.)

§ 139.
