When I first came to Che State the proper
ton OF children was very small compared
with the rest of the population. About 3S
per cent. of children die before they arrive at
the age of years. Thirty per cent. Of
the population die before they reach is years.
When l first came here very small proper
ton of the population was composed of
men over 90 years of age. The proportion Of
deaths from diphtheria has been larger in this

FAULTY SEWAGE
Is one of the principal causes of typhoid
fever. For the year 1880 there were twenty
two deaths in Sacramento from typhoid fever,
one case in Los Angeles and two cases in
Stockton. The population of Los Angeles
is II, 1856; that of Stockton 10, 1885, that of
Sacramento q 500. The climate at these
points Is about the same. | think that this
difference in mortality is owing to the imper-
feet sewerage and the amount of sipage in Sac
ramento caused by the filing up of the rivers
bed and channel. the Board of Health has
used every endeavor to promote the health
fitness of this city.
Recross-examination (by ". c. Bsleher)-
Typhoid diseases prevail more some years
than others in the same locality. During
the year 1850 there were cases Of typhoid
fever in Placerville, Downieville, Grass Val
ley, Nevada and other mountain towns.
There were four deaths from that disease in
Piacerville during the year 1880. The same
year there were 100 deaths from the same
cause IN San Francisco. Typhoid fever is not
contagious.
DR. G. G. TYRRELl
S~orn-l have been practicing physician
and surgeon for the past % years. l have
been President of the State Medical Society.
The debris, as brought down the rivers, con-
tam elements of malaria. The filing in of
lots and streets with this sediment causes
malarial diseases. The filling up of the
rlver has obstTucted the drainage of the city.
This has had the effect to produce typhoid
levers within the city and nalarious diseases
outside. The drainage from the city is so
slow that filth and poisonous matter becomes
accumulated, and the warm weather and
moisture form gases that are poisonous and
disease breeding. This imperfect drainage is
owing to the rivers filing up to such an ex-
tent as not to afford sufficient fall for our
drainage canal. This condition of affairs in
creases each year. By comparing the NOR
tality reports of this State, / find that more
deaths occur from diseases tracsable TO these
effects in Sacramento than in any other city
of California. Malaria impairs the coastitu-
ton and renders person more liable to dis
ease. 1t generally impairs tie liver and
spleen.

Cross-examination. (by W. C. Belcher)-In
early days the population was composed
principally of young and vigorous men. At
the present time perhaps one.ffth of the
population is composed of children under Is
years of age. About one-half of the balance
OF the population are women. About
80 pr cent. of children in the world
die before they arrive at the age of 5
years. A very considerable element of
the diseases Low treated are those of women
and children. The question of sex or age /
did not considerin the estimates of my previ-
GUS testimony. There were but few women
and children here in early days. About one

about eight feet. Most of these cesspools
ara made with open brick work, which ad-
rnits of the contents being largely absorbed
by the subsoil. If other conditions had not
been present to bring those foul elements so
near the surface, these cesspools would have
produced no malarial effects. The sewage of
