A HUMOROUS HEALTH OFFICER.
The Michigan State Board of Health recently took Health Officer Davis,
of Close Village, to task for failing to send in his weekly reports.
His reply was unique. He says: "There has not been enough sickness
here the last two or three years to do much good. The physicians find
time to go to Milwaukee on excursions, serve as jurors in justice
courts, sit around on drygoods boxes, and beg tobacco, chew gum, and
swap lies. A few sporadic cases of measles have existed, but they were
treated mostly by old women, and no deaths occurred. There was an
undertaker in the village, but he is now in the State prison. It is
hoped and expected when green truck gets around, melons plenty, and
cucumbers in abundance, that something may revive business. If it
does, I will let you know."
