per cent. of the houses of the Western
States. The families occupying these
houses complain frequently of sickness.
Some member is always ailing, but the
idea seldom occurs to anybody that the
doctors bill could be saved by some atten-
ton to the construction and surroundings Of
the house
OF the diseases found to exist in these
dwellings rheumatism was, upon the
whole, the most prevalent.
Next after rheumatism, came diseases Of
the lungs, then diphtheria, typhoid fever
and bowel troubles.
Lung troubles, typhoid fever and dlph-
liberia are specially abundant in New Eng
land, as was to be expected from the facts
recited above.
1t is in the Middle and Western States
that rheumatism most abounds. But, be-
sides diseases, there are frequent cases of
kidney trouble, nervous debility, melan-
chola, throat affections, &c.
The remedy is to build country houses
with large and sunny rooms, with shade
trees at due distance; to have the we'll
safe from the drainage of water closets and
stables; to put all outbuildings at proper
intervals; to use only the rooms on the
second floor as bedrooms; to cement the
cellar and extend it under the entire
house, and to use temporary awnings III
stead of permanent projecting porches.
The average woman has mania to keep
out the sunlight. She is to be withstood,
and windows are to be used for the pur-
pose for which they were originally con
/ struc;ed.
Above all, if it is desired to improve
existing country dwellings, it Is necessary
to demolish contagious barns, pig sites
memories, and other like offensive out
buildings.
To advance such Improvements, accord
ing to DIR. Hall, is the duty, if not the in
terest, of the country doctor, who, wher
properly educated, cannot but be aware o
the uusanitary condition of his patients
homes.
1t was suggested by a sagacious anthro
pologist. at the conclusion Of the lecture
that the duty Of educating the country
people in sanitation rests on the pulpit an'
the press as much as on the doctors.
This is, no doubt, the fact.
Every one who understands the ruinou;
results Of living, or trying to live, with un
sanitary surroundings should join in tn
work of reform.

A HORSES AGE.

To tell the age of any horse,
Inspect the lower jaw, of course;
The sixth front tooth the tale will tell,
And every doubt and fear dispel.
Two middle 'nippers you behold
Before the colt is two weeks old.
Before eight weeks two more will come;
Eight months the corners" cut the gum
The outside groves will disappear
From middle two in just one year.
In two years from the second pair
In three the corners, too, are bare.
At two the middle "nipper'' drop;
At three the second pair can't stop;
When four years old the third pair goes;
Attiye a full new set he shows
The deep black spots will pass from view
Ask years from the middle two.
The second pair at seven years;
At eight the spot corner clears.
From middle clipper" UPPER jaw,
Anime the black spots win withdraw.
The second pair at ten are white;
Eleven finds the corners light.
As time goes on, the horsemen know,
The oval teeth three-sided grow,
They longer get. project before
Till twenty. when We know no more
