You are correct. My father's competence was never challenged. In consequence of his advice, the water was chlorinated, clinics for typhoid vaccination in Konnarock, Green Cove, White Top and Helton were accepted without objection, inspite of febrile side effects. Smallpox, diptheria and pertussis immunizations were routine and unchallenged.  Before tetanus toxoid was invented, the standard tetanus prophylaxis for puncture wounds - which were very common in Konnarock - was equine tetanus antitoxin. His advice to accept the allergic consequences of equine tetanus antitoxin, which were frequent and sometimes very severe, on at least one occasion requiring hospitalization, was questioned not a single time. As for T.L. Waters, my father was treating his family long after the consent decree for the life estate had been recorded.
