SANITARY CLEANING. - As the
Spring and Summer months approach, it is
we'll for US to consider the local conditions
that chiefly promote the outbreaks and
propagation of epidemic diseases. Expe-
rience has proved that the best way to pre-
vent both pestilence and panic is to know
and prepare for danger. The security Of
personal health requires pure drinking
water. fresh and substantial food, temper
ance, and the needed rest and bathing Of
the body. We will soon be able, probably,
to give our readers the plans and pro-
gramme of the State Board of Health, but
in the absence Of such report we will state
the principal causes which lead to diseases
incidental to the Spring and Summer time,
to-wit:
l. Neglected water closets.
2. Filth sodden grounds.
3. Foul cellars and filthy or badly
drained surroundings Of dwellings.
4. Foul and obstructed house-drains.
s.: Decaying and putrescent materials,
animal or vegetable.
6. Unventilated, damp and uncleaned
dwellings and apartments.
