Emigration - The Government Medical Inspectors Office. As the text describes: 'No passenger ship is allowed to proceed until a medical practitioner appointed by the emigration office of the port shall have inspected the medicine chest and passengers, and certified that the medicines etc. are sufficient and that passengers are free from contagious disease'. Only after undertaking such examinations were potential emigrants able to have their tickets and papers stamped and have passage assured.
