How FEVER AND AGUE MAY ORIGINATE
DIR. w. c. VanBibber, of Baltimore, on the
18th of April, read an able and interesting pa
per before the Medical and Chirurgical Fac
ulty of Baltimore, on "The Drinking Waters
of Maryland" We are indebted to him for q
copy. 1t contains valuable statistics and
furnishes food for thought to those who have
to do with the sanitary affairs of our cities
and towns. He says that Mr.. Blower, OF
Bedford, England, suggested that the real
source of fever and ague might be found in
the drinking water and not in the air, and
adds that "it is by no means improbable to
suppose that drinking-water, percolating
through alluvial soils, may be as likely as any
atmospheric poison to convey disease like
ague and fever into the system.
Both air and water are the common support
ers of life, the one as much as the other
Both form combinations within the body
which renew the blood But If either one of
them alone conveys this disease into the
body, it is done by different route and in
dissimilar way. If ever this question is def
nitely solved, and drinking water is demon
strated to be the conveyer of the poison, then
fever and ague will be prevented and cured
by different means from that which is now
used"

gives the following amusing account of the sit
uation:

laid, when we entered the building we found
our County Commissioners, for the want of
chairs, squatting near one of the windows, at
another window we found the Orphans Court
in session around an improvised table made of
some loose and short pieces of plank. We
afterwards started In search of the School
Board, and at last found II in session in room
over an ice-house. They were close to the ice,
but we found neither mint nor water. Lawyers
held interviews with clients under trees or
wherever they could find shade. Every one
seemed good-natured and did their best, but 1t
was pursuit of business under difficulties"
