curious and interesting chapter In sanitary
science is furnished In the recent history OF
| Munich, Bavaria. For many years that city SUI
| fered from typhus fever, frequent epidemics oc-
curing ana the death-rate from that cause beng
always high. At first the water-supply was sus-
| pected Of contamination, but carefaa tests aus
proved that theory. Then some one called at
tention TO the porous character OF the SOIL ON
which che city stood, and suggested that IT might
be the medium of infection. As an experimental
measure it was ordered that all cesspoos and drains
should be made water-aght, SO that no Leakage
into the soft could occur The effect Of this was
quickly noticed in an abatement OF the disease
An improved system Of water-hght sewers was
then ordered, and further gains for health were
noted Finally, the eight hundred or more private
sIaughter-houses were abolished, and their work
| transferred to q single central building under
ofilcas control thus preventing further pollution
Of the soil from that source. Tho grand result Of
these reforms is that the fever has become almost
| a thing az the past and Munich Is now-in that
respect, az least--as healthful as any European
city. The incident may conjoin o valuable suJ-
Qestion for other fever-strcken places. There Is
sometimes death in the soil
