A CEssPOoL OF DISEASE.

Under the very nostrils OF our high
school and in close proximity TO many
residences and largely travelled streets
and main thoroughfares leading into
the country is IA cesspool which should
be abated by the city without delay.
1t is a veritable breeder of disease
germs and there is not bit of doubt
that from one-third to one-half the
sickness Of the city comes directly from
that source. On hot days the stencil
is awful Pollywogs, toads, dead frogs,
winklewads, scortles, spadgerwicks,
and iumblewhacks are there in count
less numbers. Every school boy and
school girl must sniff the deadly
miasma that arises and who can tell
how soon some loved one will be
stricken down. Is it any wonder that
scarlet fever, measles, diphtheria and
typhoid fever run riot through the city
occasionally? Who knows but from
this sink hole of foul pollution, there
may be underground streams supplying
many wells in this city? Every phys
ician in the city will give his opinion
that it is a nuisance. 1t should be
abated at once. GOOD HEALTH.
