'hoiera rayages a city the doctors go TO
york and find out the cause OF 1t, and
guard against 1t In the future. Commun-
ties could not get rich In the middle ages.
Epidemics and scourges continually swept
over the people and reduced the popula-
Jon and kept the world poor all through
those ages. We could not prosper to day
under those circumstances. Thus we see
what richness in communities may amount

The two diseases. however, that are at
tracing the most attention today from
diseases which are spread by the use of in
footed milk are tuberculosis and typhoid
fever. It has been thoroughly shown that
many children who have died have been
fed on the milk of tuberculosis COWS. That
consumption ia an infectious disease have
not the least doubt. In the town where
was reared it ia entirely farming COM
munity with a population of about 200.
Here there has not been case of consump-
ton for forty years, except 1t had been an
imported one, and then great care was ex.
ercised in disinfeetinp everything which
might spread the disease.
In regard to typhoid fever. Cows do
not have typhoid fever; but the milk may
become infected and thus become a oar
rier. Forty years ago, at little town in
western New York, where the stage coach
nsssed throuoh. one day a man got ont of
rha coach tie oct drink Of water and
staved all nioht. In the morning he was
too sick with typhoid fever to 20 on and
the disease broke out in every home IN IN
thai town sava one cot its water from one
we'll. One man was a strong temperance
man and was not On speaking terms with
the landlord OF the tavern ana SO ne olo
not get his water at his we'll and was
obliged to get 1t elsewhere, and his family
was the only one that escaped. An !nves-
| tigation followed and 1t was found that 2
| dung neap was near tne well so tnat IL mao
become lnfected.
| thirty ODD years ago was studene a.
| 600 on high rising ground. The houses
are built thick and close together in thu
style Of the middle ages. When I wal
there it was before they had drainage OF
sewerage system. Every one used thu
water from their own wells, that iss VIVA
water they used. One professor OF mine
said he had not tasted water for over four
teen years. Most of the people dranl
beer instead. In the beer the water wa
boiled and the microbes were destroyed
But even in this state of affairs the dealt
rate from typhoid fever reached 334 befor'
the Introduction of the sewerage system
Since the sewers nave oeen nuiI1 tne rat
has been reduced to seventy. Inc inter
ence is too apparent.
