The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1874-08-13
Exchange
SANITARY,

Some time since ! wrote short ar
ticle in reference TO the health of Mi.
Ian, at the time hoping that some one
of our "god-like" profession would
give US an article on the sanitary con-
dition of the city of Milan. After
waiting q long time. and seeing 50
much danger around US, and knowing
as / do the danger we are in, | must
say a few words about it.
Every physician and every intelli-
gent person recognizes the fact that
to take care Of their own health, they
must take care of whole classes, too
ignorant or too weak to take care of
themselves. The pestilence generated
by the 9Th of ill-ventilated and i'll
framed slums and sinks Will poison
the atmosphere of whole communi-
ty and infect quarters at a considera-
bic distance, whose inhabitants may
be properly observant OF all the con-
ditions of health. To this extent, at
least, we "are our neighbor's keeper"
And as Carlisle's story goes Of the
poor women whom rich men refused
to recognize as members of the human
family and to succor, and who finally
proved their sisterhood by injecting
seven of them with Typhus fever.
This has sanitary as well as a moral
lesson for US. From these facts we
see the vital importance of strict sar
itary regulations in towns, cities and
communities-regulating those things
which are of vital importance to abe
health and well-being of all the inhab-
itants.
Now, good folks of the city Of Mi
Ian, let US look TO our sanitary affairs.
1t is sickening to observe great many
things about our city, and to think of
the bad sewerage and reeking soil
through which the water percolates
to its foul bed; and it is high time
that q vigorous crusade should be
brought to bear upon them. The
earth, it is true, is q good filter and
and disinfectant, and will protect from
contamination long while, but it be-
comes saturated with decaying animal
aud vegetable matter and is no longer
suited t. perform this Office, and the
water in mary wells may become i'm
pure and dangerous to health. 1t has
been said by an eminent chemist that
''for one article of impure and dan
gerous food, q thousand samples of
impure water may be obtained in any
part Of the country" Mere anon.

The Way TO Build I'd Milan

The way to build up Milan is to
run down and browbeat and drive
away its citizens, and drive off all the
money you can to other towns and
communities.
To those who pronounce me a
"humbug" in the eye business, l say
it is very amcalled,tor and mgenerous,
and it is not only wronging me, who
never interfered in your business in
any way, but it is driving away mon
ey from your own town that would
be spent here in your business houses.
1t has been nearly three years since
l came to this community, and | can
say, without fear of successful contra
dictiJn, that | have cured every case
of sore eyes that proposed to cure,
and many cases of ears. You are not
only damaging me and your o,Cn town,
but you are inpeaching the veracity of
many OF the best citizens of West
Tennessee and Western Kentucky, as
the following testimonials will show;
of which can produce hundreds of
the same sort:
MAYFIELD, KY, Nov. q. 1878.
We, the undersigned. hereby certify that DR.
A. A. Davidson has had greater success, and
operations on eyes and ears than any man that
has ever been in Western Kentucky.

We hereby certify that the above named gen.

to great credit.
CT WE,TNoRE, Clerk of Graves County.
J AUSTIN Clerk of Circuit Court.
We, the undersigned. are acquainted with DR.
Davidson as an 0culist and Opthalmic Surgeon
and know that he has won high and justly
deserved reputation in that line of practice,
and confidently and cheerfully recommend him
TO the afflicted.

DR. A. A. Davidson, Dear SIR: My daughter S
eyes are very much better. and almost entirely
restored, which entities you to my gratitude
and fullest confidence; for had entirely des-
paired Of her sight ever being restored, mas
much rs the case bad bafied the skill Ct some
Of the most ski.lful physicians in this country.
There never Eas the slightest improvement
in the case, but, on the contrary, ii grew worse
until yeu took it. If this was the only case

would not be so strong in you. but on the con-
trery, you have been remarkably successful il

MILAN College.

The regular fall term of this insti-
tuition commenced last Monday, all
the faculty and one hundred and
eleven pupils being present. This is
a splendid showing for opening day
and very encouraging. We have no
doubt but a larger number will be en-
tered this collegiate year than ever
before. People at distance will do
well to send their children here, as
the course of study is thorough, the
teachers competent, and tuition and
board very low.

In another column q card is pub

which he announces himself a candi-

would represent us with honor and
honesty if elected. We hope his claims
viii not be overlooked.

Mtlan's Increase.

The census of 1870 shows the pop
ulatien of Milan civil district TO be
1913. Last Thursday 497 votes
were polled here, and there were at
least Fifty not polled. There are now
about $50 voters in this district. Es-
innate the population at six to each
voter and we have $500 inhabitants,
an increase of 1852 in four years.
In 1870 the town of Milan had about
500 population. Nearly all the in
crease of the district is in the town.
Allowing only 1900 of the increase to
Milan, it gives us a population Of
$500 to-day, and many of our citizens
claim $500. What town in Tennessee
can make as good a showing as this
a gain Of nearly t,cO hundred per cent.
in Joar yeurS' This is indeed encour-
aging. Now, If our landowners will
reduce the prices of lots to something
near the figures of other towns around
us, we know of no reason why we can
not double the population during the
next year. Many mechanics and la
boring men wish to locate here, but
cannot, on account of high rents and
high prices of dots. Times are hard
now; trade viii probably not be so
good next winter because Of the short
crops, and We must make trade, by
bringing in more people Let US en-
courage everything in the shape OF
manufactures, from making an axe
helve to the manufacture of a looomo-
tive. We iced .a,rkzser now.

err ment in every department. The
machinery Of State must run and
must have our support in preference
to all other expenditures. / would
willingly do something FIR the bond
holder if l could, but in our present
condition, with the drouth that is on
us-our crops ruined-it looks to me
as though the bondholder must rest
on his sofa and smoke cheaper cigars
and drink cheaper whisky, while we
poor farmers must follow the pillow
and smoke cob pipes filled with oak
leaves; otherwise our children must
cry for bread.
