THE UNITED STATES PUBLIC HEALTB 

 SERVICE 



The agitation which has been going on for 

 the past few years for the enlargement of the 

 health activities of the United States govern- 

 ment has resulted in the passage of a law, 

 signed by the president on August 14, which 

 enlarges the functions of the Public Health 

 and Marine-Hospital Service and changes the 

 name to the " United States Public Health 

 Service." Under this law the new Public 

 Health Service is given very wide authority 

 to investigate the " diseases of man and con- 

 ditions influencing the propagation and spread 

 thereof including sanitation," etc. All of the 

 previous laws relating to quarantine, the 

 eradication of certain epidemic diseases and 

 the scientific investigations of the Hygienic 

 Laboratory in bacteriology, pharmacology, 

 chemistry, medical zoology, etc., remain in 

 force so that now the United States has a na- 

 tional public health service with greater scope 

 than that of any of the other leading nations.
