Show t Ths Homo Ssntinsl A Weekly Newspaper, Devoted to the general Interest of the people of San Pete and surround-lo- g Counties. Editor IXllARRlSOTOlf, CORRESPONDENCE. I wish to the of people call the attention in general, not only of the city of Manti, but also of the surrounda few must ing belt. einents, to alient points concerning the sanitary aspect of the towns they live in, and to bring before their notice some of the primary causes of disease,epidemic and otherwise ; with a view of the simplest means of prevention; which, ' though simple, should by no means be neglected by every and honest citizen, for as the adage runs "one ounce of prevention is worth more than u pound of cure." It having been brought to my notice that several severe .cases of diarrhooi, typhoid fever and complaints other malignant have occurred in some of our southern settlements, notably ba lina, Richfield and others adjoin ing, led me to wonder how it was that our own little city of Manti lias escaped so long, for I am perfectly well assured that It is more owing to a watchful Prov- Editor Sentinel. , right-minde- d . idence that we have been spared such ravages; than to the t , any vigilant forethought and precaution iry measures of our city au- thorities ; for although 1 would bu the last one to throw any willful aspersion on thu labors of our city council, yet I think it would show a little more wisdom on their part If they devoted a little of their attention to the sanitary points as they, went their from aside along See., they (for bridge building are invariably doing somcthi.ig for tlie roads or creek whenever you see and question them) and as this is the most prolific season Of the year for the development of such diseases that are as a rule of an epidemic nature, it behooves us one find all to exerfor cise that caution nece.-sar- y their prevention. In the first place our attention should be given to the purity or iiupur.ty tf our water supply. When we rellect upon the fact that water Is more nutricious than roast beef, and that people who think It strattge to call water "food" would c 'aso iJ l)e astonished on finding that it 'orms the living body ought we not to be more careful that what we drink is pure Pure water purifies tho blohd and btimulate the secretions. It renders bland the acid humors of the body, and by weakening and diluting them, helps the Bystefii It throw them otf. It heals and cleanses both externally and internally, and may well be called Gods best gift to the Uninrnl as well as the vegetable world, Pure water also contains a huge amount ofthe oxygen so life, But impure essential t water becomes one of the simplest elements for propagating disease. Pure watet, without any excess of org mic matter, should bd transparent, colorless, inodorous, tasteh 83 but at certain times, it becomes intpregna. ted, acquiring that property called 'hardness, owing to its lime and other oat thy which has a tendency to salt, in sheep and diseases product other animals to such an extent that instinct teaches them to avoid it if they can get any other. The scrofulous swellings, tumors, and gravel, which prevail in some districts, (especially around San Pete) originate chit'Hy Frdm this cause. Thd best nlethud of freeing the water from the-- e impurities, is just to boil it. then liter it has cooled, drop into it a little carbonate of soda and then filter it. As thesd plagues that afe raging in Plymouth, and in Luzern Co.,PensylVania; arose in the first instance through the contamination of the water, so it might occur here in like manner, especially as we daily see horses and cattle walking in the water course?,feeding along their banks, and slobbering their salava and excrements into tlte d tches. when in Not Only this, but al-edur-water the i A the darning up titizens use tlte fir?t thin. 9 that tome to hand, fuch ws old rags, two-third-- (lon-taini- . 0 Blimy mud etc. Considering th it catlic disuses (if the report no orrect) is already in the country, steps should he taken to enforce the law regarding these points, and also concerning the cleansing of our water ditches. Let the citizens as one man unite in keeping theib houses and streets clean and their highways clear of decomposing matter. Let our creeks and .water courses flow fresh and free, sweet and pure ; make them not receptacles for all the filth and offal emanating from our gardens, houses or corrals, as is already being done in several parts of Manti; keep all cesspools, drainage and the like far from any drinking ditch, to percolate through the soil adjoinUsed ing, into the water that is for drinking purposes, or we may expect, and shall surely have fatal epidemics amongst us, to lay low alike the young and the old, as it is already doing in other parts not so very faf distant. Quarantining, so far as the current theory goes, is not the only and reliable remedy for these disll eases. We should not Wait us ; is the destroyer amongst and eanitary sanitary police measures for the prevention of such beforehand, is the remedy. and frequent The thorough of all streets, private cleansing and public buildings and Waste lots ; the abatement of all nuisances, daily removal of offal etc., "conservancy, i. e., the cleaning ventilation, and disinfection of cesspools and closets. Among all sighs of danger of the location of cholera in any of its phases. none is more significant than the "privy odor." Let it be every where annihilated; lime, charcoal, dry earth, burning sulphur, chloride of lime, carbolic acid, Sic., itc., are the most available dissnfcctants, Personal prevention is the next thing in order.Anmng those inost likely to die, When attacked by epidemics, the drunkard stands first according to all records. Nor are they less liable to be attacked than others, Temperence in to safety, all thing is These precautions if taken, wid prevent the unpleasant necessity of the citizens having to be Corn polled to adopt them by force of law or other means, should occasion and the public Weal demand it ; viz : by the appearance of any contageous disease within our midst. un-ti- j Inil NOTICE FOR PUBLIC A TlO ITEMS.
