Why do Children Die /,

In answer to this question, the Medicai
Recorder holds the following language /:
" The reason why children die is because
they are not taken care Of From the
day of birth they are stuffed with water,
sllttocated III hot rooms and steamed in
bed clothes. So much for indoor. When
permitted to breathe breath of pure air
once a week III summer, and once or
twice during the colder months, only the
nose is permitted to peer into daylight.
A little later they are sent out with no
clothes at all on the parts of the body
which most need protection. Bare legs,
bare arms, bare necks, girted middles,
with an inverted umbrella to collect the
air and chill the other parts of the body.
stout strong man goes out in a cold
day with gloves and overcoat, wooden
stockings, and thick double-soled boots,
with cork between and rubbers over. The
same day, child of three years old, an
infant of flesh and blood, bone and con-
stltution, goes out with hose as thin as
paper, cotton socks, legs uncovered to
the knees, neck bare, an exposure which
would disable the nurse, kill the mother
outright and make the father an invalid
for weeks. And why? To harden them
to a mode of dress which they are never
expected to practice. To accustom them
to exposure which dozen years later
would be considered downright foolery.
70 rear children thus for the slaughter
pen, and then lay it to the Lord, is too
bad. We don't think the Almighty had
any hand Ill it.

Robert Brown, pilot, met with like
fate. David Thomas, of South Amboy,
the engineer, from his position near the
engine and boilers, was of course killed,
and his body was hurled to the deck of
one of the canal boats III tow, horribly
mangled and torn to pieces. The fire
man, - Strong, was instantly killed
by "a fragment. -Four Of the crew were
either killed 10y the explosion, or were
so scalded by the escaping steam gas to
be incapable of escaping from the wreck,
and doubtless went down to a watery
grave. The captains wife miraculously
escaped, and was rescued in an almost
frenzied state when taken from the
wreck. She was, it is said, the sole sur
vivor. Two canal boats were sunk by
the explosion, or by the sinking propei-
ler, but all on board were saved The
Red Jacket was only year old. She
was valued at about $50, 900, and is par
TALLY insured.
The cause of the explosion was filling
the boiler when nearly empty, with cold
water.
