Influence Of the Soil on Health.

The influence Of the soil upon the
health OF those living upon it, is brought
ou, very plainly during the prevalence
Of epiiemic diseases. That mala,ial
diseases like Intermittent fevtrs orig :
nate from the soil, is already accepted ;
aud recent Investigations show pretty
conclusively that the gems Of Cholera,
Abdominal Typhus, yellow Fever, and
the plague are in some way connected
With the soil, which |. daily corrobora,ed
by letters from all parts Of the country,
stating the marvellous effect PerHna has
on those diseases. AMI in their conval.

Local Eanciss,

In all parts of the world sick peo-
pie have fashions in their fan,ie and
imaginary causes of ailmen, which
differ rs much as do the fashions Of
clothes. In England when gentlemen
hase been little too jovial over night,
and feel the reaction the next day, it
Is customary 10 ascrihe the sickness
to having been in the sun too much.
Frequent repetitisn OF the same little
white lie carries conviction Of its
truth to the mind OF the teller. In
the Eastern States, when statesmen
aud professional men suffer from the
same cause, they have fashion Of
making believe that over.werk the
day before made them sick Many
places have many fancies. and Haw.
thornc, possibly owing to its peculiar
facilities, has one entirely unknown
to the dipsomaniacs of other locali.
ties. Here, when the night has been
passed in revelry, the misery of tho
next day is supposed TO be the conse.
quenco Of having swallowed fly.
This Authorization, which Mt present
is epidemit, may have its origin in
the well.known form OF statement
frequently made to bar.keeper,, rela.
tive 10 fly In the lemonade.
