to be anything but beneficial
to their health. Travellers in
the extreme southern countries,
such as India, carry as a COM
panion a medicine case with
such preparations as will ward
off sudden attacks of chills, or
malarial fevers.
All this is very nice to have
in the house to use in an
emergency, but if the above
rules, and especially the ap.

adhered to there will be less
occasion to resort to the medi.

Six months ago Honolulu
as well as the islands were in
an intense state of excitement
by the announcement in the
daily papers that cholera had
appeared.
The Board of Health was in
a peculiar position as they had
to cope with a plague that they
were not familiar with, and by
the people not having sufficient
confidence in them to listen to
their DEGREES. They realized
their position and the Difficult
ties that would have to be
surmounted, namely; people
who would not pay attention
to their instructions, -delibe-
rately broke the tabus and last
and the most important of all
the inadequate sewerage.

strated that persons contracted
the disease, if you can call ii
such, by coming in direct con-
tact with those affected-that
the germs we're in certain
vegetable and animal foods
that you ate and in the water
you drank.
In countries where frost is
unknown malarial fever germs
are constantly being generated
and it behooves people to be
exceptionally cautious of their
method of living, and Of the
water that they drink as the
malarial .tever germs are IN the
mater.
The heavy rains that we
have experienced in the last
few weeks have played havoc
with the water by making il
muddy and impure. The
physicians of the Board o.
Health recommend that al
drinking water be boiled, but
we recommend you to boil ane
filter it by using an IMPRovEI
STONE FILTER.
You can boil it if you wish, bu
the mere fact of boiling it doe'
not do away with the germs
If the water is insufhciently
boiled the germs are not kille'
