the. 1t may not be generally known that the
editor of THE Sanitarian was formly a Sur
geon in the Navy; that he is familiar with the
Perils of the Sea, and places and climates
dangerous TO health
1t appears to be feature of The SANTA
rian, in addition to the many valuable contri-
buttons from the most distinguished
sanitarians throughout the country, to con-
tain timely editorials on subjects pertaining
to the safety of human life, and the promotion
of health The editorial on the Perils of The
Sea-in this present number, is no less singu-
lar for It's clearness and cOgency in regard to
their causes, than for its significance in
avoiding them. The more of powerful rea-
soning we have, the sooner we shall be rid Of
the reckless carelessness of human life which
factory dams than of those who build steam
ships. The other subjects ofgeneral interest
discussed in the present number are: The
Disposal Of the Dead Prospect Park, Brook
Ign ; Bermudas as a Winter Resort Defec-
tive Drainage and a number of shorter papers,
of much practical utility. The SanHarian is
conducted by A. n. Bell, NJ. d., 234 Broad
