ORIGIN OF QUARANTINE. □ r. Richard Mead’s Action During th« Plague of 1721. To Dr. Richard Mead, who was In consultation at the deathbed of Queen Anne and became physician to George I., was due the credit of having first established quarantine. In 1721, when the plague ravaged Marseilles and its contagious origin was discredited, Dr. Mead declared the plague to lie “a contagious distemper," and a quarantine was enjoined. He also proposed a system of medical po lice, which finds its counterpart in the health officers of today. It was be who declared, "As nastiness is a great source of infection, so cleanliness is tiie greatest preventative.” He ft was who said nearly 200 yean ago: “if there be any Contagious DI" temper In the Ship the Sound nu should leave their Cloaths. wb; should be burnt, tho men washed ar shaved and. having fresh Cloath should stay In Lazaretto—that b quarantine—thirty to forty days. Thv reason for this is because Persons may be recovered from a Disease them selves and yet retain matter of Infer tlon about them a considerable time." In practice Mead was without a ri val. bls receipts averaging for several years between £0.000 and £7.000. an enormous sum in relation to the value of money at that period. He possessed a rare taste for collecting. But his books, his statues, bis medals, were not to amuse only his own leisure. The humble student, the unrecom- mended foreigner, the poor inquirer, derived as much enjoyment from these treasures ns their owner. At his table might be seen the most eminent men of tiie age.
