SANITARY CODE Of MOSES.

Extract From . Lecture by DIR. j. H. Kcl-
logg, OF tho Battle Crock Sanltarlum.
We sometimes hear about the mis-.
takes of Moses but no one has ever
shown that Moses made any mistakes
in his sanitary code. It has been ac-
cepted as correct from his time to ours,
and no very important improvements
have been made on it. It is now better
understood than it was half a century
ago, even. The wisdom of the princi-
pies laid down is simply marvellous; no
law-giver ever formulated code Of
health SO far-seeing and so correct It
was the first employment Of the quar-
antine. The reason therefor was doubt
less not understood then, nor was it a
hundred years ago, or even twenty
years ago. We now know that leprosy
is q germ disease. You will remember
the good Catholic, Father Damien, who
labored in leprous colony on, one of
the islands of the Pacific He took
great pains to protect himself from in
lection, and mingled with the lepers for
many years without contracting the
disease; but by and by, happening to
have little erosion on a bald spot on
his scalp, fly which had just visited a
leper perched on this spot and infected
it with the dread disease. The fly is q
dangerous scavenger, and should be
kept out of our houses. ;@ is e.
In the, time of Moses, if house was
infected, it was treated in the most
radical manner. When an outbrea ak OF
leprosy appeared on the wall, the peo'
pie had to move ont, the plaster
ing was torn off, the house was
shut up and the rubbish all taken
way. And what was done with the rub
bish? 1t was not put into neighbor'
back yard nor emptied into the street
nor hauled off and dumped on vacant
lot It was taken clear out of the city
so that it would not affect any othel
house. They did not whitewash the in
fected spot over and then move back
nor did they newly paper the walls a.
! people treat such houses nowadays
The house was cleansed and shut up
and, it after a week, the leprosy molt
was found breaking out again, showing
evidence that the leprosy was deep il
| walls, then the whole house was destroy
ed and the bricks were all carried off, B,
this means houses were kept free from
mold and germs. A house in the con
dition that germs will readily develop
init is not fit to live in. Moses did no,
understand all about the nature o
germs, but he understood cleanliness
and quarantine and these are the bes
possible means of disinfection. Re
