would seem to demand that 1t should be
entitled to the cognomcn OF the
GREAT AMERICAN sANTTARIuM.
We know that the word swamp is omi-
nous and suggestive OF disease, and when
the word dismal IL added the idea Is inten-
sified. Hence the prevailing opinion
throughout the United States that the "Dis-
nal swamp" Is an ovcrhowing reservoir OF
malarial poison. No greater untruth could
pass unchallenged, and it is time that the
reading world should be informed to the
contrary; and we now desire to call the at
tention Of the press OF the United States to
our statement with the hope that those who
seek exact truth will help to promulSatc
our statement.
