The pretty little village of Malvern,
twenty-one miles out on the Penn
sylvania Railroad, has a population
of 400, fully $50 of whom are suffer
ing with dysentery. There have
been two deaths so far and more
may be expected, as in many cases
entire families are Frustrated. The
epidemic or endemic, as some of the
Malvern physicians call it, broke out
about two weeks ago in the eastern
or older portion of the place and
with few exceptions has confined
itself there. The source Of the dis
ease is not known. The physicians
are all at sea and are divided in
their opinions. The place is a cross
between village and a township
and has no chief magistrate.
There are no provisions for drain
age whatever. The people by a
large majority, throw the garbage
ON the ground in the rear of Their
houses, where the water sinks into
ground. In some cases the kitchens
are connected with the cutters by
wooden pipes, through which the
waste is allowed to run into the
street. To this accu mutation of de
cayed vegetable matter in the ground
above and below the surface many
have attrib uted the existence of tn,
epidemic. The doctors say different
with one exception, DIR. Rickerbaugh
who is the oldest physician in thu
neighborhood. While he does no
directly coincide with the theory a
to the decayed vegetable matter, h,
thinks that to it is largely due the
existing sickness. Malvern is on (
high ridge overlooking the beautiful
Chester Valley and in every othe
respect is the hcalthiest of places.
