Medical Inspection Spreading Here, But America Still Benind Kurope. New York Sun. In the United States Boston seems to be entitled to the credit of estab lishing the first regular, system of medical Inspection of schools. This was done in 1894; but two years be fore this the sanitary inspector of New York had appointed a medical Inspector of schools, who was prob ably the first medical officer of the public schools appointed in this country. In 1894 fifty physicians were select ed by the board of health to Inspect the public schools of Boston. In 18IS nine such inspectors were ap pointed in Chicago. In 1897 the board of health at New York ap pointed 1 J4 medical Inspectors for the public schools with a chief at a sal ary of 82.S0O a year. In 1898 th bureau of health In Philadelphia passed a resolution di recting that each of th fifteen as sistant medical inspectors shall visit on public school In his district esch day. Inspecting It according to the methods employed in Boston, New York and Chicago. Since 1894 medi cal inspection of schools has been largely adopted throughout th United States and in torn states has de veloped from mere inspection tor de tecting contagious diseases to sys tem calling for th most thorough physical examinations. Only four general etat laws pro viding for or allowing medical In spections of schools have been passed, saj-e The Medical Record.

New Jersey has a law which went into effect In 110) au thorizing boards of education to em ploy physicians or medical Inspectors of schools and defining, their duties.

With thirst sign . -of spring-time almost every one begins to feel bad. Some have no: particular ailment, but are debilitated, run-down, weak, and their entire system is in a state of disorder. Little physical irregularities upset the) ; perfect working of the blood, the appetite fails, digestion is poor, the ' energies are depressed, and other unpleasant symptoms give warning I: that the physical machinery is "out of gear" and needs some healthful, : j stimulating assistance to build it up to normal, and perhaps ward off' V some serious sickness or ailment. .f i- ? r t f This disturbed ..and disor dered condition of health is the result of impure flccumijjsn0ns in the system due & an inactive winter life. Theaxitlily waste and '"'''.matter is not properly ex pelled in cold weather, because Jhose members whose duty it is to perform this work of drainage do not receive sufficient stimula-' tion from out-door bodily exercise: they therefore become dull and sluggish in their action f nor is the skin as active, in eliminating impurities in cold weather. These Winter accumulations pollute the blood and destroy its ncn, rea corpuscles to sucnan extent that wfcen Spring comes, and everything takes on new life. the circulation is so weakened that it is unable to supply the increased demands of the system. - and we suffer in consequence.
