Miller cited section 5T73 of the statutes, which Is: "The Board shall designate those disease which are infectious, con-tai "as. communicable or dangerous in Their nature and shall make and enforce adequate rules, regulations and procedures to prevent the spread of diseases and to determine the prevalence of said diseases within the State."
