MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
MEETING IN AUCKLAND. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Monday. The Conference of the Medical Association passed a resolution expressing the opinion that coercive measures dealing with venereal diseases would result in driving the victim into the hands of the unqualified practitioner and magnify the evil, but the association was prepared to recommend compulsory notification of such diseases by members only provided that no coercive measures were employed by the Health Department, unless in the opinion of the practitioner notifying the disease such measures were necessary in the interest of public kealth. The association recommended the adoption of a modification of the Prisoners Detention Act as in force in New South Wales.
