DISEASE FROM MILK.--Ssnitary inves-
. LEGATIONS in England have led to the
discovery that large proportion of the
typhoid in English cities is sown by
milkmen. DIR. Bateson, Medical In
spector of Leeds, has lately added some
important facts TO those already bearing
on the subject. Toward the close of
1872 fever appeared in isolated places
in Leeds, and in districts where the
sanitary conditions were unexceptiona-
BILE. As solution of the puzzling cir
cumstance, it was found that certain
milk-dealer, who got his milk from q
distant farmhouse, supplied every
family in which the fever was present.
On visiting the farmhouse, six persons
were found suffering with the disease,
living in a room adjoining that in which
the milk-cans were kept, and nursed by
the woman who managed the dairy. A
dairyman in Glasgow, having fever in
his house, supplied seventy-three fami-
lies, in five different streets, and in
these families sixty-three cases of fever
occurred.
A series OF experiments, conducted
by German and French Psychologist,
demonstrated that the milk from COW
suffering from tubercular disease may
transmit the disease to the systems of
persons drinking it. Commenting on
these researches, an English journal
remarks:
If the facts are not overstated, the
conclusions to be drawn from them are
most startling. The precise article of
diet of universal use In all nations and
climes, the natural food of the infant,
and the most nourishing form In which
the invalid can take sustenance, instead
strengthening the patient in consump-
ton, may be the very means of propo-
eating that too-prevaient disease.
An immediate practical result of these
Investigations will be, not only to
strengthen the hands of authorities in
their en6eavor to secure to the public
unadulterated milk, but to direct more
particularly their attention to the
sources from which milk is liable to be
contaminated. The general law that
applies to manufactures, that the value
OF the product is immensely affected by
the care used IN the mode of the pro-
cess, 1t appears is equally applicable to
the manufacture and management of the
animal-product, milk. 1t can be the
source of strength or disease means
of life or death,-as we make it. As
the machine must be In order to weave
the web, so the animal must be in
health to produce good milk. And, to
maintain that supply, every essential
of proper food, pure water, and fresh
air, must be continued while the pro-
duct must be treated equally carefully,
and kept, until it reaches the consumer,
under the conditions necessary to free
it from all Impurities, or from contact

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST TRIcHISA. The
medical Society of Kalamazoo urge =
Eat no uncooked or half-cooked hogs
flesh. The raw flesh Of the hog. whatever
its shape or condition, whether ham,
bacon, or pork, salt or fresh, smoked
or unsmoked, is liable to contain this
parasite, full of life and activity that
may work remediless mischief in the
human body. Bologna sausage, if pork
be in it uncooked, is as dangerous as any
form of this meat. The heat that cooks
meat utterly destroys the life and mis-
chievous power of these vermin, and no
one need fesr any harm if this fact is
observed.

AN OBsTREPERoUs CHURCH.

The Congregational religious persuasion
has got into middle. One of the cardinal
doctrines of the religionists of that particular
belief is that every church, like every tub,
must stand on its own bottom, and that no
one church has any right to interfere with
the internal affairs of the other, save in the
way of fraternal advice. Nevertheless, there
have been for the last year or more many
scandaous stories IN circulation in reference
to the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher's church
in Brooklyn, the stories going to the extent
Of charging the pastor with criminal intimacy
with the wives of his Pensioners and of
standing in certain very equivocal relations
to the notorious Mrs. Woodruff Yet the
church not only refuses TO institute any in
quiry into these charges itself, but stands on
its dignity, allowing no other church to poke
its nose into the matter, and to such of its
own membrs as seemed to be instrumental
in originating and propagating the ISLANDERS
instead Of bringing them to a rigid accounta.
