PUBLIC HEALTH IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA.
Accorthvo to the twelfth report of the Central Board of Health of South Australia, nearly all the local boards of health exercising jurisdiction over populous towns or districts have now attached to them medical officers of health, and a large number of townships have been personally inspected by the Board's own inspector. Amongst the more recent advances in the colony are regulations of the nature of bye-laws controlling such matters as the construction and management of cesspools, earth closets, &c. In one respect the regulations as to the latter are in advance of anything in this country. With us, a local authority can control the construction of an earthcloset, bufc it caii only deal with its faulty management by the cumbrous process of proving it to constitute a nuisance. In South Australia, on the contrary, the mere fact of ao earthcloset not being kept constantly supplied with dry earth, &c. , constitutes of itself a nuisance under the Public Health Act, of 1876.— Liricot, August 20th, 1886.
