I find this regulation: It shall be the duty of the director of the laboratory to recommend to the Surgeon General. from time to time. special researches In the prevention. causation. and cure of disease. matters relating to the public health. and collateral subjects pertaining thereto. As I say. this authority now seems to be very limited. It is limited to the laboratories down here. it is limited to quarantine stations to prevent the coming in of immigrants with certain contagious diseasesonly about seven in all. But this bill authorizes the investigation of all diseases of man. and who will say. in the light of these rules and regulations. that It will not embrace as well the indorsement and recommendation of methods of treatment and the remedies. thereby giving standing and authenticity to certain schools of medicine? I turn over on the next page. and I find the Chief of the Division of Chemistry shall have certain powers. and the Chief of the Division of Pathology and Bacteriology shall have certain powers. and I find that the Chief of the Division of Pharmacology. going into the matter of medicine. shall have certain powers and shall conduct investigations and analyses in relation to disease. thereby. it seems to me. endangering the creation of a bureau which may conduct investigations and make reports along the line of certain schools of medicine without any limitation being put into the bill as to the scope of its work.
