tins Ferry and all reported 1t very good.
There Is very little II any typhoid fever,
no ~diphthcriaor scarlet fever. Colds arc
numerous. Tho death ratio has been
small during tho year and We have not
had any Gpidcmics ~ In some Of tho
Ohio river towns, Tho drinking water
is all right and has been ever since tho
water water works were built, with tho
exception OF n short time during the re-
cent low stage OF tho river when tho
water had m unpleasant taste. This
was caused by the oil from the Me-
Donald and other fields up the river.
Tho river Is fairly high now and the
supply being drawn from tho bottom
does not yet any OF the oil. Martins
Ferry people should congratulate them
selves on the general health OF tho city.
