The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1896-04-06


The secret Of health and long
life" but had he been in Hawaii
when he wrote these rules he
would have included a seventh |
one to the effect: Do not drink
water that has not beenhltered
Tourists and others who are
constantly travelling make it
point to carry lemon tablets to
be dissolved in the water before
drinking, inasmuch as the fire.
quent change of water is found
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.
pended seventh, are strictly
adhered to there will be less
occasion to resort to the medi.
cine case.
Six months ago Honolulu
as well as the islands we're 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 plague that they
we're not familiar with, and by
he people not having sufficient
confidence in them to listen tc
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 las
and the most importan! OF al
the inadequate sewerage.

strated that persons contracted
the disease, if you can call i
such, by coming in direct con
tact with those affected-tha
the germs we're in certain

/ that you ate and in the waite
you drank
In countries where frost i
unknown malarial fever germ
are constantly being generated
and it behooves people to t.
exceptionally cautious OF thei
method of living, and of tn
water that they drink as tn
,, malarial tever germs are IN til
Ddter.
The heavy rains that W
have experienced in the las
few weeks have played havo
with the water by making
muddy and impure. TIL
), physicians of the Board c
= Health recommend that a
drinking water be boiled, bu
we recommend you to boil an
filter it by using an IMPROVE
i STONE FILTER.
You can boil it if you wish, bu
i, the mere fact of boiling it doe
not do away with the germs
} If the water is insufficient
boiled the germs are not kitte
they remain in the water an
pass into the body. The re
t suits OF drinking insufficient
boiled, or even thorough
boiled water are too plain
