TyphOid.Infected Milk.

There has recently broken out in the
west end of London quite an alarming cpl
demic OF typhoid fever, which some of the
physicians ascribe to the milk supply. An
English scientific paper endeavors to con-
meet the outbreak of the disease in Lon don
with its appearance in some of the rural
environs which supply the metropolis with
milk and butter, and its reasoning is very
conclusive.
The source of most of our epidemics lies
in the unwholesome food or polluted water
consumed in towns and villages, and espe-
cially can many of the most fatal diseases
be traced directly to the sparkling but sew
age-poisoned water of shallow wells.
Typhoid fever is well known to have its
habitat in the focal matters which frequent
ly leak from the best sewers and percolate
the SOIL defiing the subterranean waters.
Scientific investigation has not yet been
able to determine how small and how N in
ute quantity of this infection will suffice
to poison whole neighborhood, whether
liberated in the most sumptuous and ele.
giant quarters of London where the int.
rior of the houses is connected with the
sewer-pipes) or in the vicinity of the un-
drained and unscavengered villages.
The present epidemic Of typhoid fever in
London commenced in July, in houses
where every precaution of cleanliness had

that most Of the persons attacked obtained
their milk from particular dairy; and
upon further examination he became con-
WINGED that the milk was somehow or other
contaminated with typhoid poison and was
spreading the disease. Inquiry proved that
in June the owner of the dairy farm had
died of typhoid fever; that this enteric NAL
ady had prevailed in his family with other
fatal effects, and had also been rife in the
villages near his farm and in daily COM
munication with it. The fact was also dis
closed that the well, from which water was
drawn to wash the dairy utensils, was itself
the real drain Of the dwelling and farm yard
premises, which fully accounts for the intec-
ton disseminated in the milk
The Herald has before suggested the sani-
tarv dangers of using the subterranean
springs and wells in every locality near
human habitatiOns. We have no doubt that
the polluted underground water of the
small towns and rural settlements in all
parts of the country, and especially in the
limestone regions OF the West. is chargeable
with the rapid and fearful ravages OF such
epidemics as cholera, typhoid and other
diseases. Many suggestions have been made
to put these natural water supplies and all
wells under legal sanitary provisions, bur,
while this may be done in cities and towns,
in suburban districts the only reliance is in
the good sense and public spirit OF the resi-
dents.-Neo York Herald, September j..

there are lawyers who, the more they learn
OF crimes, the more highly appreciate hon

blunted sort, was recently intrusted with
financial matter for settlement, a we'll

settlement with debtor. The debtor gave
a promissory note, and a few days after
ward the creditor called on the attorney
to learn what progress had been
made. The client was told that the
debtor had given ninety day
