L. We find in late New York Tribune
Ian srticis from Dr. HAEkls, Registrar Of
vitsl statissics. prepared for the Board
Of Health ofthatc cisys which seontains
valuable suggestions, relative 70 the
use of disenfectants as a prevention Of
epidemic diseases. De. HARRis is Of
opinion that epidemic cholera may
never again rsvage our American cities
-sn opinion based upon the fact that
both in Europe and our own country,
the people ss well as the physicisns
have an abiding faith in sanitary cleans
ing and disinfsction. Popslsrsinfor-
mation, on the best methods of disin-'
fecticn is therefore to be desired. His
yis1s are given in plain terms, and we
mention only she simplest cheapest and
most efectual means which experience
and very careful study havo proved:
Expsrisnes has proved that il is possible,
| By csrtain chemical agencies, wholly to de-
strot or prevent tbe operation Of the specifc
injection o. coaisgion Of any disease, bat 70

| ta6ts; and, "a regards cholsrz ard Typhoid
isvsr, n q issspecially important that the IN
ftctivs discharges from The sick should be
disihsscted ~ soon q voided from the body
sad thss whatever clothing or surfaces may
have been seiled by such discharges should
be disinfecsed IS soon AZ practicable. Ths
fses should also be borne in mind by all per
soas who have charge ofinfecied things that
the ssfsesuse property or visas q some dis
sssss, and efchoiefa especially, IL capable Of
rapid increase In althy places and In G foul,
damp atmosphere. Therefore. The cleansing
and disinsection; Of such places should, 10
possible. preeedo the arrival or outbreak of
| any such psstileniisi infection. Every uss
clean and damp place about dwelling houses,
Warehouses; factories places of sssemblsgs,
passenger vessels, railway dspots, and hotels,
skould be nsde and Kept perfectly clean and
Idry. Aildraius privies, and watsr-eloscts
should be, kept as clean as possible, and
should be thoroughly purified before cholera
cones into the neirhborhood. Such eleasipe
and .disinsscsing give tbe sursst protestion
