from which the following is quoted
"You will tigd enclosed with this tabua-
ton of the result obtained from the exam

you will lind that The chemical character
of the water has been very Uniform, exclud.
ing the frs, sample in 1888, while the
spring freshet was prevailing. Excluding
that tirst sample, you will find, by max
ing comparison. that there has been
no variations which has any practical sig-

from the top makes little better shor ing
than the average of water supplies in the

There is no pollution which can be.
shown by chemical methods. As to the
probabilities or possibilities OF the infection
