This is equivalent to saying that Mac is

--Thero is no doubt that much of tho
sickness which sillic,s tho people Of cities
proceeds from filthy cellars, yards, out
houses. styes, o.c. These things are neg
leoted by many, as are other duties, from
pure thoughtlcssnoss, while others never
dream Of paying any attention TO them.
There are several remedies for this most
unhealthy condition Of things that can be
easily applied The first ia to put ono pint
Of the liquor Of chloride OF zinc in ono
bucke,full of water, and ono pound Of
chloride of ,lime in smother buckotrul Of
wator, add aud sprinkle il ovor decayod
vara,ahla ",.,,a-- For this purpose moth
ing surpassos II; tndood II is perfect de-
ordorizcr. The second ia Is to tsko four
pounds of sulphate Of iron or copporas
and dissolve II in a bucketful Of water
This will in most case prove sure RENEE
dy in destroying all offensive odors. Tho
third is to take a simple chloride of lime
and sprinkle in damp cellars, over
heaps OF filthy, dirty yards, etc. The
labor in cleansing ones promises by either
ono of these remedies is triIiing, and the
expense is not worth mentioning. If it
were ten times greater, both the labor and
expense should be willingly incurred
