Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1877-07-07
The season approaches when the prudent

mind consoles itself with the less agreeable
subjects of general consideration-the com
plainings of the solstice-time-such as gooze-
berries, and cranberries and like fruitish irrl-
tants and calculations. Also the persplrlng
intellect gets ef1usive, as it were and lets it
self reach out, in mild, efflorescent way, to-
ward the ologies and the scientifoals. And
so, being that way minded, one fetches up
against some such preachments, anent the
subject matter of Village Sanitary Drainage
and the cognate hygenics, as are herewith re-
lated We quote from the current number
of Scribner, as follows " 1t is recently
recognized, but an old and universal, truth
that human life involves the production Of
refuse matters which, unless proper safeguards
are taken, are sure 10 become source of dis
ease and death. The danger is not confined
alone nor chieay, to that element of house
hold waste which is most manifestly offensive,
but in almost equal degree to all manner Of
organic refuse 1t is true that fecal matters
are often accompanied by the melting agent
of the propagation of infectious diseases. For
convenience, and as indicating the more prob
able means for disseminating infection, we
may call this agent germs. It has not yet
been demonstrated with scientific complete
ness that disease is spread by living germs
whose growth in a new body produces a cor
responding disorder; but all that is known Of
the circumstances of infection, and of the
means for preventing it, may be fully ex-

era, epidemic diarrhea, and some other prev
alent diseases, are presumed to be chiefly, if
not entirely, propagated by germs thrown off
by diseased body So far as these ailments
are concerned there is, therefore, very Sc
rious element of danger added in the case of
feces to the other evil effects which are pro-
duced by an improper disposal Of any refuse
organic matter. That any one or all of these
diseases can originate from the decomposition,
under certain circumstances, of fecal matters
is not clearly determined There is, however,
good reason for believing that one common |
effect of the gases arising from improperly |
treated matters of this kind, is to debilitate |
the human system, and so to create DISPOSE
ton to receive cOntagiOn, or to sucCumb to |
minor diseases which are not contagious. The |
same facilitating effect and the same injuri
Gus influences, often result from the neglect
of other organic wastes. The refuse of the
kitchen sink is free from fecal matter, but it
contains, in a greater or less degree, precisely
the kind of organic material which has gone
to make up the more offensive substance. II
its final disposition is such as to contamnate
the water that we drink or the air that we
breathe with the products of their decay, the
danger to life is hardly less than that from
the decomposition of fecal accnmulations.
Now this is only another among the many re
minders of the wisdom of the theory advanced
by the present very efficient Board of City
Trustees of a system of sewerage which
should drain our little city and carry away, :
beyond any possibilities Of contagion, its njur- !
Gus, mephitc gases and their relative poisOns. c
