The following pages contain the Health Laws of the Territory of Hawaii, as amended by the extension of the sovereignty and laws of the United States over the Hawaiian Islands, and the Regulations of the Territorial Board of Health, at present in force.

It has been the aim of the compilers to retain all statute law, unless its repeal was beyond a possibility of a doubt. Hence certain laws are included, the validity of which is questioned. So far as the Board of Health, a purely executive body, is concerned, such questions must be left to the decision of competent courts, or future legislative action.

The statute law appears first, arranged in the same order as in the Penal Laws of 1897, so far as that is possible; each section has the same number as in the Penal Laws or Civil Laws as the case may be, and its source is shown in the mar ginal references.

The abbreviations P. L. and C. L. refer to the Penal Laws and Civil Laws of 1897, respectively; P. C. refers to the Penal Code of 1869; and S. L. refers to the various Session Laws.
