A HEAlTHFUl REGION.

A treatise upon the medical geography OF this

some facts Of peculiar interest TO the medical
statstician, the sanitarian and the man Of affairs
For present purposes brief statement will suffice
The Burnley District lies In the very heart Of a
region that Il invariably attractive to an enlight-
ened civilization-upon or near the parallel OF
so, on high, well-dralned healthful plateau.
and in a fine, temperate climate where all the
products OF nature attain their greatest perfection
One might easily show by carefully prepared
tables OF statistics that the physical conditions OF
the region are favorable not only to the growth OF
plant life, but to the highest development Of man
himself More than century OF careful observa-
ton has shown that the human product in this
region has all the characteristics OF an active,
hardy, enduring race The native stock seems to
draw vigor from the soil itself The cultivators OF
the fertile tobacco lands Of this District have
always been men Of fine physical type-hard
workers, good feeders. bold fighters, and, rule,

of 80 or 30 years OF age, and many have almost
touched the century mark, The city OF Mays
VILE, the solid, compact, well-built entrepot OF
this hourshing region, is one of the most health
full places on the continent Its situation is not
only beautiful and attractive in high degree but
in sanitary point of view its advantages are
unsurpassed. The thorough system OF drainage
provided by nature has been greatly improved by
a system Of sewerage which has borne the test of
sixty or seventy years continued use. 1t only
needs the construction Of one additional sewer
and the reconstruction of another TO it equal
TO the best In the United States. The place has
suffered from no serious visitatons of epidemic
disease for nearly fifty years. The local sanitary
authorities are vigilant active and intelligent and
have always been remarkably successful in pre-
venting the development or extension Of every
sort of contagious disease. The health conditions
of the public schools are guarded with peculiar
vigilance; under a system of sanitary administra.
ton that is Just beginning to be introduced else
Nhere-even in cities of greater size. Every SAINT
tary precaution and device is used for the proven
ton OF disease, that has been recommended as
practical and effective by the advanced science of
the day. The pupils themselves are thus Incl
dentaly instructed in the advantages Of we'll
maintained system of personal, domestic and pub
lie hygiene. The late annual report OF IA is Honor,
the Mayor, makes special reference to the
ul efforts OF our city and county authorities in
matters Of sanitary administration and reform.
Indeed IL may be not too much to say that Mays
vile with its fine, healthful location upon beau
ttul river, with its breezy hills, its splendid
drives, its thorough drainage, its admirable santa.
ton and abundant supplies Of wholesome food,
ought to be one of the finest health resorts in the
south or West. To complete this list OF sautary
attractions, IL is not improper to add perennial
flow Of Bourbon and "Bluelick," which medici-
nally employed will reconstruct shattered con-
sttution, or convvially abused will float it gently
into haven Of eternal rest.
