The physician and the engineer must accept the responsibility of training exterminators and fumigators for the proper performance of the health work in which they are engaged. SUPERVISION IN NEW YORK CITY The Sanitary Code of the city defines a fumigant as any substance which by itself or in combination with any other substance emits or liberates gas, fumes, or vapors, and which gas, fumes, *Read before the Public Health Engineering Sec- or vapors when liberated and used for tion of the American Public Health Association at the destruction atnd control of insects, the Sixty-sixth Annual Meeting in New York, N.
