![Sec. 6. That on the arrival of an infected vessel at any port not provided with proper facilities for treatment of the same, the Secretary of the Treasury may remand said vessel, at its own expense, to the nearest national or other quarantine station, where accommodations and appliances are provided for the neces- sary disinfection and treatment of the vessel, passengers, and caro-o ; and after treatment of any infected vessel at a national qual-antine station, and after certificate shall have been given by the United States quarantine officer at said station that the vessel, cart^o, and passengers are each and all free from infectious disease, or danger of conveying the same, said vessel shall be admitted to entry t6 any port of the United States named within the cer- tificate. But at any ports where sufficient quarantine provision has been made by State or local authorities the Secretary of the Treasury may direct vessels bound for said ports to undergo quar- antine at said State or local station. Sec. 7. That whenever it shall be shown to the satisfaction of the President that by reason of the existence of cholera or other infectious or contagious diseases in a foreign country there is serious danger of the introduction of the same into the United States, and that notwithstanding the quarantine defence this danger is so increased by the introduction of persons or property from such country that a suspension of the right to introduce the same is demanded in the interest of the public health, the President shall have power to prohibit, in whole or in part, the introduction of persons and property from such countries or places as he shall designate and for such period of time as he may deem necessary. Sec. 8. That whenever the proper authorities of a State shall surrender to the United States the use of the buildings and dis- infecting apparatus at a State quarantine station the Secretary of the Treasury shall be authorized to receive them and to pay a reasonable compensation to the State for their use, if, in his opinion, they are necessary to the United States. Sec. 9. That the act entitled An act to prevent the introduc- tion of infectious or contagious diseases into the United States, and to establish a national board of health, approved March 3, 1879, be, and the same is hereby, repealed. And the Secretary of the Treasury is directed to obtain possession of any property, furniture, books, paper, or records belonging to the United States which are not in the possession of an officer of the United States under the Treasury Department which were formerly in the use of the National Board of Health or any officer or employe thereof. [Act of Congress, approved August i8, 1894.] AN ACT to amend section two of the act approved February fifteenth, eigh- teen hundred and ninety-three, entitled An act granting additional quar- antine powers and imposing additional duties upon the Marine-Hospital Service.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21358539_0411.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
