Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sixty-Six Years of Medical Legislation
Perhaps the most frequent mistake has been the effort to copy a law which has proven successful in some other state, regardless of lack of similarity in conditions. You will all, I am sure, recall instances of this kind. At our legislative conference in 1906 a delegate, in accordance with instructions from his state society, asked the conference to endorse the principle of a single board of health and examination. He said that his state had two boards and was not satisfied with the results. A neighboring state had a single board and he thought this was a better plan. He therefore asked the conference to endorse the principle of a sin gle board. As soon as he sat down, the representative of another state arose. He said that his state had a single board and was not satisfied with results. A neighboring state had two boards and they thought this was the better plan. He therefore asked the con ference to endorse the principle of dual instead of sin gle boards. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
