Money Saved by Sanitation.

Medical men have long been familiar
with the fact that sanitation has been a
saving to the community at large in
doctors bills, in nursing and even in
days Of labor to the industrial classes.
But it has been difficult q put results
'hto figures, so as to impress the public
mind. MIR. Brudenell Carter attempted
this In his inaugural address TO the Col
lege of State Medicine. Every case Of
fever, he calculated, cost the community
$40. The reduction in the annual death
ate from fever to 4s4 per million from
the 1851 60 rate of 90S per million rep
resented a total saving of 81. 900, 900.
''but Of this no one seemed conscious;"
while the annual cost Of scarlet fever at
the present time was s., 1000. 900 a year.
IL, therefore, we could trace scarlet fever
10 a definite cause, as a bovine disease
communicable by milk, we could adopt
precautions which would save the coun-
try every year somewhere about half as
much money as the recent conversion of
stocks, besides much misery" Here is
new light upon disease. Il Is increas-
ingly ~preventable, and as we reduce its
virulence and range we save money
