The service required at our hands in this nearly new field of labour will be skilled and earnest; and from such service there will doubtless spring up fresh emoluments and honour to the profession. We refer to— Sanitary Work, or Public Hygiene. Since the passing of the Public Health Act of 1848, increased attention has been given to the health of the community, and various sanitary enactments have arisen out of it. These enactments, leading to frecpient Government interference on the outbreak of epidemics, when the medical officers of the Privv Council were employed to investigate their causes, extent, &c.—and by whom valuable reports have been drawn up—have all done good service ; but, nevertheless, they placed in the hands of the sanitary authorities very limited powers, and few medical men held any connexion with their work.
