TO WHICH IS ANNEXED, _The Supplement to the Health Law_, Passed on the 2d day of April, 1821. PHILADELPHIA: PRINTED BY JACOB FRICK & CO. No. 22, Walnut Street. 1821. RULES, &c. I. From the first of June to the first of October, in every year, vessels arriving at the port of Philadelphia, from any foreign port or place, and every vessel arriving from any port or place within the United States, at which port or place the said vessel had only called in or touched upon her arrival from a foreign port, and vessels sailing under coasting documents, having on board goods, persons, baggage, or clothing from any foreign port or place, or any diseased person, before any of the cargo or baggage be landed, or any person who came in such vessel shall leave her, or any person, except the pilot, is suffered to come on board, (unless imminent danger of the loss of the vessel or lives of the crew shall render assistance necessary) shall stop at the Lazaretto, and there submit to the examination of the Lazaretto Physician and Quarantine Master. Every vessel of the above description, under one hundred and fifty tons burthen, will come to anchor as near the Lazaretto as their draught of water and the weather will allow; and if of one hundred and fifty tons or upwards, may either come to anchor near the Lazaretto or in the outer channel, as near the west end of the island of Tinicum, opposite the Lazaretto, as her draught of water and the weather will permit—those preferring to be visited in the outer channel, will hoist a whiff at the topgallant-mast head, as a signal for the same. A neglect or refusal to comply with the above, will subject the person so neglecting or refusing, to a fine of five hundred dollars.
