EDITOR GAZETTE For some time past
we have had quite an able newspaper dis
cussion, upon the causes Of various dan
gerOns diseases Low prevalent in his cit ,.
a. well as In other numerous localities.
There has BEN number of different
theories advtnccd as to the causes or
origin OF this outb ek OF that terrible
malay, typhoid fever Some of our
knowing men atribu e il to lie overflow
Ing Of the marshes; some to the impuri-
ties of the Brandywine waters others to
an impr per sewera of our city. There
Is no doubt that Ill Of this combined may
TO great extent be rdetr menta to good
health. According 10 the natural law
everything that exists physically must
have physical orilin. Just as the small
ipsigni6c mt seed hid beneath the surface
OF the soil, win in time terminate and
| expand itse + into towering tree, able
TO stand he angly tempests from decade
to century. Comparatively, lie small
poisonous germs Of diseases becomes in
| seated in our systems and feed upon our
| vitality untifftassnmes disease II some
dangerous type; ending in a deadly
epidemic vii eli defies al the talent and
skill of our medical faculty. According
to the old al ,ge ''an ounce of prevent =
tive is worth pound of ,ure.' If so let
us be profiting by the advice this pro-
verb by baiisbing some Of the dang T.
o,ls nuisancrs that we can reach without
/ difficulty. The one most dangerous ard
least thought Of is the hse of -four Or
| meal that have been packed in Old and
| filthy barrels, that have been used for all
manner of purpos without even a pre-
teuce at renovating before re-packing.
if every careful housekeeper would
commence at home to use precalition
against sickness, lie them buy their -four
from those tina Use nothing but clean,
sweet barre's, new from the shops. As
we have often said this practice Of bring
| ing barrels from hospitals and other
| places where contiguous and hlthy dis
eases have existed is most dangerous
lpractice. The majority of fa'al cases of
fevers have had heir origin from such
mistakes as saving h few pennies by buy-
ing an old and filthy barrel. How can
we expect to escape sickness and death
| when our very bread is poisonous with
| the naIseolis germs OF disease Let the
honorable body of representatives at their
coming session at Dover, use an able eff
fort to abolish this use of old dsbarrels by
epacting law to for bid the repacking of
barrels that have been used for any pur-
pose except flour and meal. We trust
while our careful Board of Health is
busy in exploring sewers, analyzing the
creeks, probing the cess-pools and scent
ing the bu cher shops for deaths hidden
agents, our friends at Dover will grant
us this favor that will be blessing to all
mankind as we believe it does not re-
| quire whole acres of marsh or rivers OF
water to bring sickness to our doors.

to listen to DIR. d. Banks Mckenzie. The
exercises opened with the singing of temper
ance hymns and fervent prayer by Rev. j.

a large number of ladies and gentlemen
mounted the stage and signed the total absti

during the remainder of the week and devote
his whole time to the furtherance of the cause
