DrUNICIPAL WATER FEDERATION.

MUNICIPAL WATER tlLEEkAIlON.
DR.. George Strawbridge, Of Philadel-
phia. who has just returned from Eu-
rope. where he made a personal inspec-
ton Of all the large filter plants in Eng
land and on the continent, states in an
interview that in Berlin, where sand
filtration is employed: typhoid fever has
practically ceased TO exist, and that the
same city was absolutely free from
cholera while the scourge was ravaging
Hamburg. only four hours distant by
rail
In London. as we are further told by
the same observer. the entire water
supply is likewise filtered through sand,
with equally manifest profit to the pub
lie health. Summing up the results Of
sand filtration on the health Of Euro
pean communities, Dr.. Strawbridge
saws that the diseases which are prop
agated by water have been practically
obliterated; that typhoid fever has been
diminished at least IS per cent, and
that in some cities it is hard to find
enough cases TO demonstrate the dis
ease to medical students. DR.. Straw
bridge adds that natural sand filtra-
ton is in use in all the principal cities
and towns Of the Continent, the few
exceptions being those where the water
is derived from outside pure springs,
such as in Vienna and Rome
