Infectious Diseases Among the Rich and
rssr. -
Scienoe lSaasiaTy Nsmosrl.

Science tSaasiavy Nsmeerl.
The second point studied Vas the rela
ton existing between epidemic infectious
diseases and the pecuniAry status Of
the different grades Of the community.
Upon this point Koroski finds that poverty
does not exercise Q uniform influence upon
the occurrence of these diseases; indeed,
viewing them Is whole, the wellendowed
excepting the very richest are more serious
ly afflicted than the poor.
Viewing the infectious diseases seps,
rately, Koroski finds that cholera, small pox,
measles and typhus are more prevalent
among the poor. while diphtheria, Group,
whoopiDg. cough and scarlet-tever are more
prevalent among the rich Consumption
and pneumonia claim the poor. and brain
troubles attack the rich.
BE found that the intensity of the infec.
tious disease was notably increased in the
crowded tenements. This increase amount
ed to 364 per cent for measles in houses In
babiied by more than Ave persons Der room.
Whooping cough is likewise greatly intensi
fed by crowdipg On the other hand 1t
does not appear that scarlet fever and diph-
liberia are similarly favored by the increased
number of people in the house. These are
rather surprising conclusions, and may ind
their explanation when We discover the
manner in which these various diseases are
transmitted from person to person.

The White Mountain Hammock Chair
differs from all other stationary or reclining
chairs in that it is better, stronger and simp-
Ter, is adapted to the house, lawn, porch or
comp, and is just chuck full of quiet COM
fort and blessed rest. Is far superior to the
hammock in every way, and can be put up
60 as to be always in the shade.
By its peculiar construction it is balanced
in all positions, requiring no fastenings to
keep it in place. The foct-rest can be
quickly and easily adjusted to suit the short.
est or tallest persons. The seat is made Of
strong canvas, fitting perfectly the entire
length, without drawing the clothing tightly
around the body, thus making it much
cooler than hammock; while the annoy
snce of catching buttons, tearing down the
ladies' hair, or in any way displaying the
limbs is avoided.

Neither mental nor physical labor
can be accomplished satisfactorily
unless the system is in order. When
you feel tired, lapguid, wearied
without exertion, the mind slow to
act, and requiring great mental
effort, you can rest assured that
your Liver is not acting properly,
and that nature requires assistance
to help throw off impurities. There
is no remedy that will accomplish
this so mildly and yet eAectually as
