(See pp. 367, 369, and 370-373.) 30. In certain instances the public health is known to have suf- fered because of the unwillingness of local authorities to put in force the powers which they possess for securing the proper sanitary condi- tion of their districts. State the provisions contained in recent enactments which render it obligatory on sanitary authorities to fulfil their statutory duties in this respect. (See pp. 636, 647, 666, and 670.) 31.

For what period after the complete recovery of the patient, the disinfec- tion of the house, etc., would you consider it necessary to keep his brothers away from school?

The following questions have been selected from the papers given in the conjoint examinations of the Royal College of Physicians of London, and the Royal College of Surgeons, England, during 1890-91:— 1. How is the dew-point ascertained ? Explain its relations to the humidity of the atmosphere and to the evaporation of liquids. (See pp. 193, 194.) 2.
