There has rarely been a healthier season than the past. During the sum- mer there were 15 cases of typhoid; there are now five diphtheria patients and one with scarlet fever. It is a pleasure to cerrect this error; but there are conditions preva ling here that make it a marvel that the wildest reports are not true. Unless the teachings of scientists are all astriy, the sanitation of the town has some serious defects. Three may be spoken of. Disease is bottled up in the wells. There are a great many of these, and the Water from them is largely used for drinking purposes. It is repeated‘y said by the doctors that very few of them contain water that is fit to drink. The simple-t tests reveal the correctness of that opinion. This is not because the supply is bad in itself, nor because pure water cann -t he get from a we I. It is chiefly because these wells are not cleaned out often enough. The wash from the surface, dead frogs. toads and often larger animals, seal: in the stagnant water. With these in and pure air exclude-d, it is no wonder that disease is bottled up in the wel 5. Before the health of the people is properly safeoguarded, corporation men will clean out every Well at least twice a year. Then there is a nuisance that) is more local in its ffects, but affecting such a large locality as to demand attention. It is the creea that runs across the town from the southwest and enters the river at the Weilington~st. bridge. This has its orgin in an half-dozm flowing wells in Iona-a superintendent of the Bell Tele- halt? And yet it will be good for neither on] reputation for courage, to weakly glve u Hence there axe some matters in this town well claim our attention. $7.80 LU stay in exrstence is one of man’s chief concerns. His anxzety and effort to remain in it, often help to put him out of it Without these, he goes out quicker than ever. So the whole problem is reduced to a dilemma with horns quite as d.scomforting as this distraction usually wears. The difficulties of the situation have been greatly augumented by the discovery of the microbe. Formerly we were urged to sober reflection and a dose of medicine,‘ by the announcement that “Dangers stand thick through all the ground To push us to the tomb. And fierce diseases wait around To hurry mortals home.” Against anything so tangible as dangers that can push us, and diseases wh;ch discharge duties that belong chiefly to the policeman. a man may make some sort of provis'on ; but since the discovery of the microbe, such an effort has become largely futile. Of what use are speed, skill or strategy against an enemy, so many as to be innumerable, so small as to be invisible, and every one efi‘ective? These 1 are the microbes. Lurking in the air we breathe, the food 1 we eat. the water weâ€"wash in, and nestling amid our whiskers, these newly-discovered and industrious enemies greatly compiicate the problem of existence. Cascara and l catnip tea no more insure our residence in this world. It r is by no means certain, after all our efforts, whether they or b us are destined to prior extinction. The failure of the h doctors to discover these fees till they had been here so a long and become so numerous, their superior constitutions -â€"for some sorts of them are not put out of business by boiling 0r freezingâ€"and their immunity from contagious tl diseases, all give them an advantage that makes it doubtful if b‘ the. odds are not in their favor, and they will not be present ct to see our finish.
