Whenever such additions, amendments or supplements to the Health Code shall be adopted, they shall thereafter be printed and, as provided hereunder, inserted in the loose-leaf book containing said Health Code, as amendments and supplements thereto.

Anyone violating this section shall be subject, upon conviction, to punishment as provided by law.
Each section of this ordinance and the Health Code and every part of each section is an independent section or part of a section, and the holding of any section or a part thereof to be unconstitutional, void or ineffective for any cause shall not be deemed to affect the validity or constitutionality of any other section or part thereof.
