A so-called Conseil de Sante had been formed at Tehran in 1899,
if not earlier ; and placed under the Ministry of Public Instruction ; but
it was rather a society for the discussion of medical subjects than a
branch of the public service, and it soon ceased to meet regularly. At
length in July 1904 a permanent Sanitary Council for Persia, such as
had been suggested by the Austro-Hungarian representatives at Paris
in 1894, was constituted by Imperial decree upon a quasi-international
basis; it was to meet once a month or oftener ; it was to discuss all sani-
tary questions affecting the country ; it was to depend on the Persian
Ministry of the Interior ; and it might correspond directly with similar
bodies in other countries, especially with the Constantinople Board of
Health and with the Office Sanitaire International Central de Paris
proposed by the Paris Conference of 1903, should the latter ever be
created. At the time of its formation the Sanitary Council of Persia
included (besides representatives of various Departments of the Persian
Government) the European physicians of the court and the medical
officers of the foreign Legations, and the members of British nationality
were then four in number as against two French, two Russian, one
German, one American and one Turkish. The new Council has directed
its attention to questions of practical hygiene, but chiefly to the subject
of epidemics ; and some improvement of sanitary conditions generally,
the foundation of a vaccination Institute and the opening of new hos
pitals at certain centres in the provinces are claimed as the fruits of ^ its
labours, but in the

there are not as yet many tangible
evidences of its activity. The Council publishes a monthly report of its
proceedings, and all consular and other European doctors in Persia are
treated as corresponding members. Since the spring of 190o the Council
has, as a matter of' courtesy, been supplied by the Eesidency Surgeon
at Bushehr and the Assistant-Surgeons under his orders with information
relating to the public health in the neighbourhood of the places where they
are stationed ; but it is reported to have shown, under the presidentship
of Dr Schneider, a French physician to the Shah, an inclination to disregard
the official reports of the British
