Mr. Cuarmuax & GENTLEXEN, It will be within the recollection of the Board that at the last meeting we had under consideration the best means of preventing the spread of an infectious disease which had appeared in the comâ€" munity., Different opinions were held by our citizens, lay and professional, as to the nature of this disease, and in Yours respe H.

BIR,â€"We are told by the Free Silver men of the States that the cause of the present dogm»agion. is because there is not enough money in circulation to carâ€" ry, on the business of the country ; that free silver would nnmediately supply this long felt want, etc., etc. *The proâ€" moters of this movement wax elo(]uent on <he great lpros'ierity which will imâ€" mediately follow the adoption of the 16 to l ratio, but have they told us how they are to get this silver successfully into circulation? Haye they not now over $360,000,000 of it in the treasury vaults which they are unable to circuâ€" late? If there is not sufficient gold in circulation to suit the requirements of the coun}g. and the Government is soon to be cal to yote more gold bonds, would it not be advisable to issue a bond diflering_,frolln the preyvious issues, that Tw UÂ¥ AGMEE Lacs uL. s x The Board of Health held an adjourned _*~ _ â€"â€"Dr. Nansen has réturned from his uttempt to reach the North Pole, and he bas failed.

Further, the Board resolved to put the Health Act in force and. instructed Health Inspector to examine into the Sanitary condition of certain quarters of the Town, * Jaxxks Guox, Medical Health Officer. The report was received and adopted and ordered to be entered in the minutes and a copy to be sent for publication to each of the local newspapers, such a state of things may be to the public health, and how necessary it is taat the evil be removed. All of which is respectfully submitted. * such â€" In reference to the pollution of streams I would call the attention of the Board to the fact that complaint has been made of the Saugeen riyver being used as the receptacle for all sorts of garbage and other decaying mattersa, ‘animal and vegetable. If such is the cage, such polâ€" lution of the waters of the river should be prohibited, | The Saugeen, in Â¥arious parts of ite course is a health resort for many, young and old. _ In many of its out of the way bends it is used for bathâ€" ing purposes and the waters are used for drinking and cooking purposes. If it is converted into a common sewer it is apparent how objectionable such a practice is in itself, and how dangerous suca ary earth, wood or coal ashes inay be used. 5. No person shall suffer the accumuâ€" lation on his premises of anything which endangers the public bealth, nor on any vacant lot nor deposit in any riiyer or stream any manure or .other refuse, or vegetable or animal matter or other filth. These are some of the requireâ€" ments of the Public Health Act.‘ n CC o ccll uds Dav c 4. Where privy vaults are permitted they must be cleaned out once a" year before the 15th of May and thoroughly disinfected. But instead of privy vaults, earth closets are strongly recommended as being infinitely preferable, and in such dry earth, wood or coal ashes mmay. be used. 2. Between the 15th day of May and the Ist day of Noyember no hog shall be kept within the municipality ; excéept in pens seventy feet from any dwelling _house, with floors kept free from standâ€" ing water and regularly cleansed and disinfected. t 3. Every householder shall dispose of all garbage swill and house offal by burning the same or by its removalas often as twice a week. And here I may add that accumulationsof offal, garbage &c. are found to be pecnliarly prolific of J infectiye tonsillitis, For instance in the first place‘ acâ€" cording to the provision of the &ct wells are to be carefully lookedafter. Whethâ€" er they are public or private theyp must cleaned out once a year, * As to the general Sanitary condition of the Town it will be freely admitted that no Town in the Province possesses better natural Sanitary conditions than Durhamâ€"an undulating surface, a graâ€" velly subsoil and therefore the best natural drainage and an abunduace of running water. But yet unsanitary conâ€" ‘ditiom- exist, Our citizens generally attend to these cases, but some do not, and in these matters as in many other conditions of life the many: are called upon to suffer by the negligence | of the few. The Public Health Act is very clear and full in pointing ont the duties of householders in looking after the sanitary condition of their dwellings and their surroundings, and as well, the dutiee of Boards of Health reMting to the preservation of the public‘Health.
