of Health, in the performance of duties which are in their exercise
frequently of an inquisitorial character, calculated sometimes to
give rise to feelings of opposition, if not of anger and resentment.
In fairness however to all concerned, I must state, that almost
without exception, I have met with no obstruction in the performance
of the duties of the office I have the honor to hold. On
the contrary, every facility has been afforded to me, so that in
many instances just cause of complaints have been remedied, and
improvements easily effected by friendly council and conciliation,
without any necessity for enforcement by having recourse to the
"letter of the law."
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient faithful Servant,
JOHN CHALLICE, M.D., F.R.C.P. Edin.
Officer of Health.
