Is the assistance you get from the Unofficial Members

of the Banitary Board

of my practical use

And my position towards the Board, too. I always

consider I should be adviser to the Board. If I have

given the Board advice to adopt some plan of action,

in a'l probability of they adopt that plan of action,
