in three of the largest hospitals very few
eases of any kind exist. over 30 per cent
of these individuals are suffering from in
juries incurred during and after the
flood. Cases of pneumonia are very few
The report that measles TO a large extent is

ond hand clothing We saw distributed from
the relief train we feel sure that a lack of
care may result in the production Of large
amount of contagious diseases
The danger of malarial poisoning be
lieve not present The conditions favorable
to the production of miasma are absent The
water sVeeping through the valley with great
force carried of in the ma jlrity of eases the
soft mud of the river banks to the distant
and low living bottom, and has covered the
entire site of lOhnstown with layer of pure
sand and gravel varying in depth from a few
inches to foot. All the cesspoos have
