-Diphtheria and kindred diseases are
threatening greater havoc this season than the
corresponding season last year. There are
numerous remedies and curatives all of which
may have virtue but the best preventive Of
all is cleanliness. Lice breed in an unclean
scalp and the child that carries them is in an
unhealthy condition. In this case the health
is left unwashed and covered from day to day
with uncleansed clothing will, under magni-
flying glass show thousands of infinitesimal
monsters that are constantly interfering with
its healthy action, and disease must follow.
But perhaps the greatest conducting cause of
throat diseases is unclean mouths. Dead
meat kept in warm place will always pro-
duce maggots. Particles of dead meat allow
in their cavities are no exception. Whoever
goes for two days with an unpicked and un,
washed mouth carries maggots in it. These
insects may as well be called by this name as
by one that some readers will not understand.
Children may have constitutional strength TO
swallow them aud live, but the chances are
that they will burrow themselves in the back
part of the mouth, the throat or the stomach
and loathsome disease ensues Cleanliness in
sleeping apartments and care in ventilation
are equally necessary. Health destroying in
sects freight every breath of impure air and
they readily lodge in the passages to the
ungs and at once begin their offensive work.
The best health maxim may be deduced from
the plain facts here stated.
