The theory that malaria is usually
due to bad drinking water instead Of
bad air is supported in a pamphlet is
sued by the North Carolina state
board of health for general distribu-
ton. 1t contains replies from the
coast counties, in which it is clearly
shown that the use of shallow wells
is connected with nearly all the cases
of malaria, and that communities sup
piled with rain water in cisterns or
from artesian wells are almost free
from this form Of disease. Many au-
thorities in South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida are cited supporting this
view Of the case, and instances are
named in which outbreaks of malarial
fever have been ended by avoiding
the use Of water from wells or small
streams. A more general scientific in
vestigation Of this subject would prob
ably prove important.
