of certainty, or for any length of time.

eases of a miasmatic type are, howevr,
ascertained possibilities. Long exper-
fence has shown that there is infinitely
more preventive efficacy in the fine bo-

and poisons which were formerly the
only recognized means of removing and
anticipating attacks of fever and ague
