"It can hardly be regarded as any longer an open question in the United States that it is the first duty of every physician, on recognizing a case of epidemic disease, to report it to the sanitary authority. But it is the misfortune of some rare communities to have individuals in their midst who, by resistance to the practical application of this knowledge, abet and encourage the existence of epidemic diseases under the pretext of maintaining private rights. To meet possible obstacles from this, or any other, cause, it appears to your reporter eminently proper that the duty of reporting epidemic diseases, and vaccination for the prevention of smallpox, should be placed upon the same plane as all other duties which have for their object the support and promotion of the public welfare-it should be made obligatory: Salus populi suprema est lex. "In populous communities of civilized people everywhere in recent years, there are various organizations under laws and ordinances for the preservation of the public peace and the protection of property. Police and fire prevention organizations exist for the arrest of thieves, highwaymen and incendiaries; and any person detected in being privy to the acts of such depredators is justly held as particeps criminis. Moreover, there are United States laws for the inspection of steam boilers, for the prevention of overcrowding of passenger vessels, etc., by which doubtless many lives are saved. But as compared with the subject at issue: Is there any member of the American Public Health Association, is there any person worthy of the name of physician; aye, is there any intelligent person throughout the whole extent of this country who does not know that the waste of human life due to the insufficient obligations for the prevention of epidemic diseases is many times greater than for all other causes combined? And is there any one who, in the face of such knowledge, would not cheerfully acquiesce, and heartily co-operate in the enactment of such laws and ordinances, national, State and local, as shall have for their object the saving of 100,000 lives and twenty times as many cases of illness annually in the United States? If there are, indeed, any such persons, they are dangerous to the communities in which they live; more dangerous than the incendiary, the thief or the highwayman, in the same proportion as the fatal epidemic diseases with which they allay themselves are fraught with danger to the communities which tolerate them, more than all the other enemies of mankind put together.
