ed waters there was entire immu-
nifty from malarial trouble was APP
parently 30 incontestible that / de-
termined upon q critical examine
ton of all waters known to pro-
duce malaria and those that in ma
larial districts were proof against
it; this examination is not only
chemical, but biological and path
illogical.
In the present state of our
knowledge we do not expect to be
able to draw sharp line between
waters that produce malaria and
those proof against it by purely
chemical analysis, nor, on the 9TH
er hand, can we hope to identify
by biological examination the pro-
tozoa producing that trouble; but
we may by the former succeed in
isolating certain toxic products Pc
culiar to those waters only, and by
the latter certain line of testimo-
ny that, in conjunction with the
chemical investigation, will yield
very valuable results. The work
thus far has proven satisfactory be-
yond expectation, and, from the
work already done and the charac-
ter and amount of evidence before
me, I am justified in stating that
the long-current belief that the
source of malaria is in the air is
an error.
The germ, which is of soil-origin,
is strictly q protocol, and reaches
its highest development in low,
moist grounds with favorable tenn
peratures. Surrounded by the
proper soil-conditions, this proto-
zoa passes from one stage of life
into another with considerable ra-
pidity; SO that in the present state
of our experimental knowledge it
is impossible 10 identify it, nor is
it probable that by culture we shall
be able to produce the accepted
Layeran germ outside of the hu-
man system.
As a rule, the potable water from
the malarial districts is derived
from driven wells not over twenty
two feet deep, in soil with clay or
some other impervious substrata,
which water is generally cool and
palatable, often sparkling clear,
but moro frequently q little turbid.
This water is filed with an meal
cu1able number of these germs in
all stages of development, and, if
used as a potable water they natu-
rally find their way into the system
through the alimentary channel.
This protozoa passes through SO
many forms or stages of life that

*Kentucky is doubtful, aud it is posi-
BILE that its Ii votes are for Mckinley.
In the Lower House of Congress
the Republicans have elected q
large and unwieldly majority, and
they also claim a majority in the
Senate. This last claim is howev-
er doubtful, as they can only hope
to control the Senate by the aid of
sound money Democrats, and they
cannot look for their support ex-
cept in an extreme case of legisla-
ton on finances.
The only rift in the clouds for
the Democrats of this State is that
Louisiana has elected six Demo-
cratic congressman. We are not
able to give the entire vote for Con-
gresham in this district, but there

round majority over Bailey.

in some stages it is light enoug',
to float and be transported by tn |,
moist air of low grounds, but i'll
this state it is comparatively harm
less except under most extraordi-
nary conditions; it is not until the
surface water is used that the real
mischief begins, when, by reason
of higher development it has be-
come much more virulent than that
floating in the air. A very short
period of incubation is sufficient
to develop a severe case of malarial
fever in the newcomer who uses
the surface-water.
From personal observation /
know that the exclusive use OF
pure, deep-seated v ter affords en-
tire immunity against malaria in
sections of country where no whit,
man dared live using the surface
water. Nor must it be understood
that the exclusive use of pure wa
ter simply fortifies and strengthens
the system against the attack of
the germ. The water is the pri-
mary cause of infection, which acts
as the direct carrier of the germ
into the system through the intes-
final tract.
The impression that malaria IS
caused by purely atmospheric In
fuences has become SO fixed in our
minds that, unless we come in ac-
tual contact with the evidence pro-
duced in the use of pure water as
against that heretofore used, the
physician will in all probability, be
very slow to allow himself to bs
convinced that the word malarit
(mal, bad; aria, air is q misnom-
er, and that malaqua mal, bad:
aqua, water) is the word that
should be used to convey the per-
nicious effects known under tn,
name of malarial fever.

The True Source Of Malaria.


RI. H. Rachman Phi. d. Med. Journal
The investigation of the source
of malaria has had the writer's at
tention for over two years, and in
that time large amount of clint
cal testimony has been collected
from all known malarial districts
in North America The final re-
port, however, will hardly be ready
for publication before next year,
but from the work already COM
pleted certain facts have been OBJ
tanned which will be embodied in
this short notice.
The introduction of Artesian
wells. first by the railroad compa-
MES who desired larger supply
of water than had hitherto been
available, and the accidental use
of that water by the people in the
immediate vicinity, soon produced
marked diminution of malarial
trouble in those localities. The ar
tesian supplies were, on the whole,
so satisfactory to the railroads that
their introduction and use became
very general, and in few years
most of the South Atlantic lines
depended upon this source of wa
ter supply. The evidence that in
the exclusive use OF the deep-seat-

The great Times Democrat con-
graduates itself, and says, ''the
Democratic party is most resplend-
emit in defeat" Bah! the T. d.
has contributed its full quota of
strength and influence to disrupt
the party by committing it to u
foolish financial heresy, and in the
hour of defeat it takes comfort in
this sort of twaddle. The people
of these United States have put
their seal of unqualified disapprov-
al upon the policy to which the T.
d. aud its friends mistakenly COM
mitted the Democratic party, and
that is all there is of it. There are
some old traditions left to the party,
but just now we imagine the best
thing for the I'D. to do is to re-
nounce the error of its ways, dis
cald its new tangled heresy, repent
in sackcloth and ashes. and try to
pull itself together in time to help
save the party from defeat four
years hence. In such case we i'm
agine the party would be even
more Respondent in victory than
it is now in defeat.

HAD SWALLOWED A LIZARD
THE ENORMOUS APPRIIIE OF A
LABORER EXPLAINED.
Ale Every thing In Sight Until In
geniousIy Rid OF n Nine-
Inch Reptile.

James Densmore, in Sullivan
county, n. Y, has recently as
founded that section of country
by his marvellous feats in the eat.
ing and swallowing line. All
Sullivan county people, and par
ticularly those who are laborers,
to which class Densmore belongs,
are remarkable for their enormous
appetites. He thought nothing
OF eating sixteen pounds Of beef
with "pertaters and fxin's," as he
called them, and washing it down
with five or six huge bowls Of
coffee.
"Why don't you cook some
thing?" he would say to his wife
after eating everything in sight.
At last Densmore, who had felt
moving" in his stomach, con-
suited doctor. After sundry
taps, pokes in the ribs and ques-
tioning. the doctor said: MY good
man, it is my belief that you have
4 lizard in your stomach. Now,
lizards can't stand salt, so eat
nothing but salt meat and drink
as little water as possible, and
then come to me, when I'll see
what is best to be done"
At the end of a week Densmore,
still suffering, returned to the
doctor, who now told him to lie
down somewhere by a gurgling
stream with his mouth wide open.
He did 80, and presently nine
inch lizard ran out. The sight
was too much for the weakened
man, and, with his mouth still
open, he tainted dead away.
The lizard, having satisfied its
thirst and bathed in the cool, run
ming waters, started mp the bank
again. Seeing the mans mouth
open, it started to return to its un-
natural home. Alas for its hopes
The water it had taken had made
il 80 much bigger that it was una
bic to get in again, and in its
struggles soon brought the uncon-
scious man to his senses. With a
yell he leaped to his feet, seized
tae reptile by the tail and beat its
head against tree till life was
extinct How the lizard got into
Densmore's stomach is the mys-
terry. AS be worked in the pump
ing station, it might have seen his
mouth open while he was asleep
after dinner time, and, attracted
by the smell Of the food just eat
en-, crawled down. At any rate,
the lizard is now stuffed and can
be seen in Densmore's parlor.
This story is vouched for by the
family physician. - New York
