,derstand that when they do occur IN
most instances the cases can be directly
traced TO contact with people afflicted.
There NAV be nothing IN It,
Int the localities in which the disease
thrives best being those not reached by
the waterworks system, the inference
&c that bad water has much to do with
breeding diphtheria. Itwould be worth
the while of the health authorities-m-
.deed # would seem 70 betheir duty, to
inou1re infinitely into every case OF
dinhlheria that arises, with the view to
learning if there be anything IN this
suggestion, and if it should turn out
that there is a greater number of vic
TINS in proportion to population among
peopIe who use well or running water
than among those who obtain water
from the mains. the city will know how
to lessen the affection which has be-
come 60 terrible. If the ravages OF
diphtheria and the filth fevers can be
more prevalent and more malignant in
stopped or materially lessened by ex-
tending the water mains ell over the city,
there will be but one opinion as to the
propriety Of such extension, whatever
NAV be the cost, and whatever may be
the condition OF the public finances;
the money can be obtained and the
Improvement made; and this being
true, the dread of debt must
not be permitted to stand in
the way of saving the lives OF the little
innocents who are SO fast succumblng
to the terrible contagion.
It viii be a brief and easy task to
ascertain the exact truth in this matter,
and learn whether or not there is any
thing in the suggestion. The number
of people using water from the mains
can be readily ascertained, and also the
percentage OF them that has been OF
are afflicted by diphtheria; and it viii
not be much more difficult to learn the
percentage OF others that are attacked
The disease has grown almost to thu
proportions Of a scourge, and tn
authorities viii not be held blameless
they neglect anything that will tend t
check It.
