on the subject under con olda olde ration he stated that he would woud prefer not to do so EO in the absence of dr douglas as he proposed to take the negative of every proposition advanced by that gentleman he claimed that the health of the city was com comparatively ively good that none of the epidemic diseases were caused by filth that sewerage was an impossibility and would not conduce to health of the population but otherwise and that the healthiest portion of the community was the dirtiest while the services of the medical fraternity were large largely lly ily confined to those who had all the conveniences of life he cited facts and figures to sustain his various points he ex expressed pressed many intelligent and brilliant ideas but carried into hla his remarks a vein of roguish mischief that was plainly apparent during hia his speech he wriggled and danced around the centre tadie taule and persisted in keeping a marble or some bome other object in hia mouth rolling it around as he warmed with his hid subject we thought once we would bak ask him to take it outs out as curiosity must have been aroused to bee see what it was we concluded however that he was coming uhe the old demosthenes dodge of the pebble pebbie and aud though thought I 1 we would let it roll A gentleman present took exception ti on to the position of the doctor that such buch a malady as diphtheria was not created by dad bad odors he cited an alleged instance ol of disease being experimentally pro deuced by foul oui gaa gas from a sewer the doctor did not believe it but said bald if that la is the cas ca gethen erthen dont let us have any sewers but said the citizen that was a defective clive cilva sewer I 1 could make one that would be free from such contingencies doctor yeb yes yee exactly I 1 thought there was a job L in this affair other man repudiated the insinuation doctor ohi ohl cobl it if the cap dont fit you put it on but theres a job in this thing sure s councilor watson wished to khow if the doctor was really serious about the dirtiest people being the most healthy and was a answered in t he the affirmative then ithen said baid the would advise people to jivu lira la in dirt in order to be healthy this appeared to be a stumper stamper but the doctor crept out of the situation adroitly and baad said he would explain that more fully another time dr benedict laid it down as a direct proposition he ha was waa prepared to sustain that the cause of the spread of epidemics in this locality was by contagion and infection the result of carelessness the main necessity was a strict system of quarantine to illustrate he cited an experience of dr pike who directly traced 22 cases of diphtheria as having sprung from one the disease being communicated feromone from one family to another by visiting vialta i g after dr benedict resumed his beat seat dr pike gave some very intelligent views on the subject on hand he stated that while he was not prepared par d to go as far as aa dr benedict on the d dirt 1 rt part of the quest question lon ion ho he was wab sure that filth uld oid not create the germs of poisonous diseases yet he most hold that i it formed a favorable condition for disease to flourish in dr douglas entered catered the meeting and after atter explaining the cause of his hib detention eald eaid he presumed that i the gentlemen who had addressed the audience had bad said all the he would have expressed had bad he been there mr raleigh said bald he apprehended the tha reverse as the opposite of his views had been said the meeting adjourned till next saturday evening when there will probably be an animated discussion |
