The Importance Of AttentlO TO the Details
Of Life,
Early last spring the elegant mansion
of one OF New NOTk's wealLhest capt.
~talists, situated on a beautiful hill in
New Jersey, VAS turned into a house Oh
mourning. 1t had been constructed on
the most approved sauitaryaEd scientific
principles. Thousands OF dollars had
been expended in the drainage, plumb
ing and ventilation. The surroundings
were healthful, the air was pure, and
yet an epidemic of diphtherIa swept
away a family Of young beautiful child
rem. 1t was the theory Of the physicians
that the house was filed with malaria,
which always invites diphtherIa, and,
skeptical as the father WIS, he iustitut-
ed a rigid examination. Every closet,
pipe and dram was found to be perfect,
and they were about TO give up, batiied,
when by accident they examined the
furnace fresh air box, u a few feet
from its opening, in a neighbours lot,
they discovered a mass OF putretylng
garDageI The mystery was explained.
The malaria had found IN entrance
through the fresh" air fiue, and three
loved ones persisted because somebody
had blundeTednn The same result was
seen ut Princeton college, seven students
losing their lives by the faulty drainage
of the college grounds. These occur
rences were neutrality-suspicious. Of PrUvI-
dence," they were the result of plain
CaTelessneS5.
Life is a constant struggle for exist
ence, and as the lJtest always survives,
II is the duty of every man to acquaint
himself with tie methods Of prevention
and cure of influences which would
hurry him to the grave. There is much
doubt nowadays as to what, for in
stance, causes malaria, but there is no
doubt chat it Is the basis of the most
obstinate chronic disorders. Not many
years ago a celebrated physician of Lon
don discovered what Is known as
Bright's disease Of the kidneys. While
most of the characteristics of this
dreadful maludy have been known, yet
one Of its most peculiar features Is of
recent discovery, /. e., that it PRODUCES
general arrangement of the tissues, and
involves otherOTgaus Ofthe body long be-
fore the kidneys themselves seem to be
affected. There is no pain in the kid
neys nor IN their vicinity. The water
