Fluoridation of the drinking water

I found this in a 1953 letter from Edward Hopkins (Baltimore City Water Engineer) to a Mrs. Cobb, in New Jersey:

    “Fluoridation of the Baltimore water began on November 26, 1952. Fluoridation of the supply was ordered by the Mayor and confirmed by vote of the City Council. The subsequent injunction to restrain the City from applying fluoridation was dismissed, on the grounds that this action would not interfere with religious beliefs, and that it was within the jurisdiction of the Mayor and City Council to proceed.”

Upon some research I found why it was against religious beliefs. The documentation is fairly long so I placed it on my History page for anyone who would like to comment.

This page will be for random thoughts and rantings.

After messing around with this all day, I finally decided to seek help with the FAQ section and come to find out – I cannot post a picture in a comment to some one else’s post. So, I will put it here and comment on the post where I wanted to comment with this picture attached. For all of you confused, I replied to a post by The Modern Typewriter on the subject of Is There Another One – Statue of Liberty. I told them I would send a picture of one I found in Baltimore, but then I was unable to figure out how to do it. So here it is.
