ARE THE MAIN DRAINS AND
SEWERS OF OUR CITY
FLUSHED AS OF EN-
AS THEY SHOULD
BE?

We recently had the opportunity OF
conversing with Sanitary Plumber OF
one of our largest cities, regarding city
drains and sewers, and knowing that
gentleman to be Thoroughly posted on
the subject, asked him the question,
"Are the main drains and sewers OF oar
large ciUies flushed as often as they
should be?"
"Well, sir, that is most important
question, and very few OF our citizens
ever give the matter a thought, replied
the sanitarian.
''ThiS ought to be a question OF great
import to all good citizens who are in
terested in the public health we ven
tured to say.
Yes" said the sanitarian, ''the
health of all large cities and towns de-
ponds in a great measure upon the good
working of sewers and drains, and must
add. our authorities are not Suilciently
alive to the great necessity of frequent
flushings and disinfection. 1t IS Owing
to this criminal negligence that so much
disease prevails III large centerS of pop
uIation. We hear Our doctors speaking
of Fevers, Diphtheria, Blood Poisoning
and sickness generally-well, sir, 1t Is
the result of not only filthy and poison
Gus sewers and drains. but OF lll-coh-
structed and improper traps. The san
itary regulations of our city are fairly
good, but the laws are not enforced rig
idly enough"
Here is state of things that must
surprise the most careless and indiifer-
ent, and lead to serious contemplation
and thought. The inhabitants of our
large cities and towns. being thus as
sured that sanitary laws and regulations
are not properly enforced, should with
great care look to the safety OF them
selves and families. Great care should
be taken of those who are not strong
and robust, and of those who are pre-
disposed to disease.
The loving wife and mother, on whom
SO many cares devolye III the manage
ment of home and children, may be
weak. languid, morose, and sleepless;
her brain power has been strained to
such degree that she has become Il
victim of melancholia. 1t may be that
the bread winner of the family has been
overworked, and that nervousness has
laid hold of him. His step is feeble and
unsteady; his hand is trembling. and
his whole system out of gear. Some
loved son OF daughter, or brother or sis
ter. may suffer from some of these Ills,
or it may be from Dyspepsia, lndigeS-
ton, Neuralgia or rheumatism.
Reader, if any suffer from the ailments
just mentioned. their poison is a ter
ribly dangerous one in view Of the UNI
sanitary condition of our large cities
and towns They are tit subjects for
any prevailing fever and disease. as
they do not possess the vitality TO resist
them.
YOU can ensure their safety and health
in one way-simply by making use OF
