Newsome of Rothesay writes ; ”I owe a debt of gratitude to Ferrozone which saved my life after a severe seige of Nervous Prostration. Abouta year ago my health gave out completely. I was in such a weak irritable condition that I couldn’t work. and found that the doctors did nothing for me but take my money. My druggist re. commended Ferrozone as the best preparation for nervous troubles, so y-vrwâ€"---r I commenced at once to take one tablets at meals. Everd box of Fort. ozone I took seemed to do me more good then the previous one. and it wasn’t very long before I was strong enough to move around again. In three months I was completely cured and know that I wouldn’t be alive ro-day if I hadn,t nsed Fen-ozone. It braced npuny nerves, gave me a strong healthy constitution . and is certainly a marvellous restorer and tonic for nervous people.” The reason Ferrozone is so success- ful in caring nervous disease is that it contains the very elements that are needed to restore the wasted nerve cells. It isa nourishing strength- giving tonic that costs 50c. per box containing three weeks treatment. Six boxes for $2.50. Sold by all druggists or by mail from the Ferro- zone Company. Kingston, Ont.

Attention was recently called to the fact that out of some 100 to 200 samples of water from farm wells an- alysed annually by Prof. Shutt, Chemist of the Dominion Experiment- al Farms, not onefifth are found safe and wholesome. By far the greater number have to be utterly condemned, and it seems very evident that a great improvement in our water supplies is necessary. This dangerous condition of many farm wells is undoubtly due to pollution by unsanitary closets. There is no reason why we should have our farm- houses to-day in the semi-barbaric condition in which so many of them are, with their closets and privies a menace to public health. We may talk about bacteriology, sanitation. and so on, but all that and a great deal more is included in what we understand by ”cleanliness.” The lack ot cleanliness is primarily a mat- ter of ignorance, and secondarily a matter of laziness. An Ontario editor, who is a mem- ber of the board of health. in his town and familiar with sanitary conditions in his section, says in eflect:â€"Per- haps the farmers of this district are worse than elsewhere. but of all the farms 1 have visited the past few years, I have yet to learn of one closet kept with a regard to common decency not to speak of hygienic laws. This state of afiairs is utterally in- excusable. ln the towns the closets are inspected by order of the boards of health, and the pe0ple are gradual- ly being persuaded to adopt the dry earth system. Very few pits are left and no new ones are being dug. Inspection by county and township boards of health may be impracticable but the self respect of farmers and their families ought to mean some- thing in this reapect. if regard for health means nothing. Ordinary shallow wells in the vicinity of the old-fashioned privy pits are almost certain to become contaminated by seepage. The soil is an excellent filtering and cleansing agent. oxidizing organic matter ra- pidly, and tending to check the deve- lOpment of many of the common put- refactive bacteria. But the soil is only able to dispose a certain amount of contaminating material. and such diaposal takes time. so that by heavy rains the contaminating matter may be carried far into the earth below the true purifying layer. and thus soak unchanged into the wells. An old pit which has been closed and covered with earth is almost equally dangerous. as the decomposition of the large mass of excreta contained therein is a matter of years, unless hastened by the proximity of trees whose roots reach the pit. The con- tents should be removed and spread upon a field. and the pit left open long enough to permit the decomposi- tion of any organic matter remaining. Il farmers once took time to think of these matters, there would un- doubtedly be agreat improvement. Windmills are now both cheap and common. and there is no reason Why well-to-do farmers should not have a water system in their houses, with all the conveniences and advantages which residents in the cities enjoy from the water works systems there established. Though not quite so convenient. the dry earth closet is so cheap and so satisfactory from the sanitary point of view that no farmer can disâ€" cover areasonable excuse for refusing to adopt it A well laid cement con- crete floor will be found by far the easiest to keep in a clean and whole- some condition. Astout box of suit- able size, mounted on runners and W1th a strong hookat one end to which a horse can be attached, makes a receptacle that can be conveniently drawn to the field or barnyard to be emptied. This box may be made wholly or in part of sheet iron, and if the bottom be semi-circular in form a kettle of hot water will be found sufficient to loosen the frozen contents in winter. Galvanized iron buckets, larger at top than at bottom are also easy to empty in winter. The nature of the receptacle is large- ly a matter of convenience; the es- sential features of the system are the storing and use of a plentiful supply of dry earth and the emptying of the receptacle regularly. If the gcontents be spread thinly over the surface of a. field. they will be de- composed in a very few days with no danger to the public health. Ashes should noc be used as a sub- stitute for earth, and road dust is very little better. The surface soil of a field or garden that has been frequently cultivated will be found just the thing. If a little course or lumpy it may be run through a gravel screen. It is always advisable to keep a good supply on hand, as it be- comes dryer and better with age when stored in a bin. If the man who has hitherto been careless in this particular will adopt and maintain a proper sanitary sys- tem in connection with his closet, he willfind himself gaining largely. not only in self respect, but in the re- spect of his family and of the strang- ers within his gates' Furthermore. he may thereby escape the revages of such diseases as typhoid fever, which are so frequently traced to the use of contaminated water.
