ORIGIN OF QUARANTINE.

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

health officers of today. It was be
who declared, "As nastiness is a great
source of infection, so cleanliness is

He ft was who said nearly 200 yean

In practice Mead was without a ri

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
