| Show DR BEATTYS PAPER the paper published in sundays Sunila yB tribune which was prepared by dr T E attY Is ono one so very important that every ought to cut it out ille it away and once in dix months read it it opens by giving an n account of liow low much it cost coet the old world to cause it to lead to an investigation as to the causes calms of disease and to take means to eradicate it when people read that such diseases A aft typhoid fever fever and diphtheria conio come from living terms germs so BO small that multitudes may be carried by a particle os 0 dust and yet that each has an individuality vi As ii much of as any larger animal and that all these germs of 0 disease depend for sustenance on conditions of we w begin to understand why in this city with its lt perfect air with its absence front from extremes of heat beat and cold there have bao in ili tho the years rone gone by hundreds gone down to their graves craves because of the prevalence of these dis cabes by that time the render reader will be willing tiling to subscribe to tile the rules ah which I 1 ch the doctor pays ought to sovern govern first to doc detroy tho the germs wherever possible an and 1 I second by obeying the sanitary lawn which science esteems essen essential thil take from these germs the food on which they feed and multiply the reader will note too the conclusions or of the doctor that the sorrow and suffering sur fering caused by the death of dear ones are supplemented likewise with a loss of property properly w which ach Is appalling tho the doctor estimates the loss in property through tho the death ot of deop people to in this thin city in 1831 1891 10 amount to over halt half a million of dollars the showing of the effects of such euch sanitation ns as h has been adopted it is most encouraging tho the deaths in tills this city in 1891 were in 1893 thero there wax a reduction of 12 10 arid and last year the reduction ana more than 50 60 per cent over that la is there were deaths as against ahree years beffi a As we showed r soma weeks ago aeo tho the re reduction luction in deaths from diphtheria and scarlet fever were wonderful the doctor a diversion to discuss for IL a moment the causes arid and terrible torri blo results of cholera antum and says that every case of cholera infant uni la in due either cither to impure milk ignorant Isnor ant or careless feeding or filth conditions the doctor believes too that as the outer of tho the city show the most cases of diphtheria and fever that it must be due to the agency of dust those districts leinig only partially sprinkled and being so ba situ situated atod that when the wind blows bleas t tho a dust front from the center of the city it 19 lo 10 carried and deposited on tho the ow outskirts skirts the doctor believes further t that hat a great creat deal of diphtheria and scarlet fever la Is just by Lon contact tact where nurses without their clothing or where children before absolutely recovered are permitted to jo go out again there la in tho the sensible 1 conc conclusion luson that the presence or 0 the reme cemeteries teries in the he upper parts of the city are causes of disease so much impressed Is ill the 0 doctor with this that ho he believes th the e cemeteries ought to be removed prom from the fact that there Is no typhoid f fever ever in the upper portions of the city and very many in the tower rower portions of the city the doctors conclusion Is that that Is due to the want of sewerage as the filth of the city seeps through the ground and with tho the ili albing atnEr water comes to the aur surface face and attacks human buman lives i ire he recommends eliat no vater from wells be used and that in the lower part ot of tho the city milk and other food should not be kept in cellars that hat might absorb noxious bases asca ile ho Is it a areat great believer in ventilation but his main reliance 11 in the completion of the sewers lie he cites the lity city of 1 munich as an example of what sewerage will do prior to 1854 there ba had been an annual death rate in eliat city from typhoid fever of per cr that has haa been reduced to 18 per simply by sewerage while the death rate in this city has hag been beben reduced to 10 to 1000 inhabitants the doctor believes behave that that should bo be reduced at leaha 25 per cent that Is ho he believes that all diseases should bo be stomped stamped out going back to the ilia table we find a reduction in the deaths flout diphtheria and scarlet carlet li fever iu ILI three yeara tears in
