THE DEADLY MALARIA.
Which in the Shape of Sewer Gas In
vades Our Homes-HoW This
Evil May Be Overcome.
What Mr.. William II. Dee's Recent
Scientific System Of Ventilation
Has Accomplished.
Mistaken Economy.

The man who would feed his family on poi
soned food or who would knowingly introduce
the germs OF pestilence into his household
would speedily find himself delivered up to the
hands OF outraged justice, and the horri6ed
public would allow no tedious legal delays to
interpose or prevent q swift and summary pun
ishnent. And yet how many men through
criminal carelessness or terribly mis-
taken economy permit their homes to
be poisoned BY the insidous exhnlations
of sewer gas! The dangers arising
from this source have been so often pointed out
that ignorance can no longer be pleaded as an
excuse. Every water closet and every station
ary wash-stand if not properly protected invites
the entrance Of those deadly malarial poisons
which swell the mortality lists in all large cities,
The many thousands who are thus sent to un-
timely graves is something appalling to think
OF, to say nothing Of the long list Of headaches,
bowel com plants, lung diseases, and fcyers due
to the same cause. Househo}ders are lulled
into tancied security by the absence Of un-
pleasant odors and are led to believe that be-
cause there is no ssbad SMELL in the house that
it is therefore free from poisonous gases. Theft
is that the most dangerous Of these gases cannot
be detected by the odor, and SO long as people
who boast OF their education and refinement
and the costly elegance OF their dwellings are SO
careless about the construction OF the sewerage
connections, so long will dlsease continue its
ravageS.
Chicago ought to be one of the most healthy
cities on the continent, enjoying as it does the
fresh lake breezes aud the unlimited supply Of
pure water, and it only remains to adopt per-
feet sewerage system. The press has from time to
time called the public attention to this subject,
and it is unnecessary at present to go into de-
tails. It has been fully demonstrated hereto
fore that the escape Of this gas can be effect
