FROM STABLES
Source when Typhoid Fever starts mo {
Often

To the Editor of the New DOMINION:
SIR:-I notice in the papers OF yes
terday an account of discussion be-
fore the city council In regard TO the
dangers of typhoid fever and other
preyentable diseases from the neglect
Of open cesspools near dwelling houses
and elsewhere. Our people cannot
have too much information upon that
subject.
The conclusions reached by the
Army Typhoid Commission in regard
to the spread of fever from open sinks
and trenches are extremely valuable.
1t was found that over so percent Of
the death among our soldiers In the
camps in the summer of 1893 were
from typhoid fever alone.
In the epidemic of fever which
spread among the Sth Cavalry there
were $50 cases in that regiment alone.
But why more fever in cavalry regi-
ment than in other regiments? The
commission reported that it was
transferred from the infected stools &c
the food by means Of flies. But what
kind of flies? That was a question
the physicians could not determine.
So it was referred to DR.. Howard the
Entomologist of the Department of
Agriculture. He reported that over
90 per cent of the flies submitted to
him as fever carriers were common
house flies. Where do they come
from? They breed in horse manure.
DR.. Howard was unable TO raise the
common house fly in any other medi-
um than horse manure.
More than that he found that when
he disinfected the horse manure of
nearby stables that the swarms OF
house flies in the neighboring dwell
ings disappeared. Horse manure then
is the breeding place Of the principal
typhoid fever carrier.
1t is evident that stables that stand
at the rear door OF a dwelling are a
menace to the public health. 1t is
also plain that cases Of fever that oc-
cur in the dead OF winter must be at
tributed to some other agency than
flies.
See proceedings Washington Acad-
envy of Sciences. Yours very truly,
VIGILANTE.

DR.. REYNOLDS was interrupted a
number of times by great applause.

WEST VIRGINIA is not very large
sugar producing State, but she prom
ises to vie with Vermont, which is the
largest sugar producing State in the
near future. This State produces an
nually about 5000, 900 lbs. of sugar.
Vermont produced last year nearly
10000, 600 lbs. but is rapidly decreas-
ing in her output, which will not be
more-than ten million lbs. this year.
Ohio is another big sugar producing
State: her annual output being some
thing close 10000, 900 lbs.

these times

THE city election tomorrow will
arouse great deal Of interest. There
does not seem to be very much at stake
but the desire on the part of every
one to have the best man put into Of
fee. This is commendable desire
and it is to be hoped that none but
the very best will be named. 1t is a
very grave matter to have the new
city start right.

Stevenson, Ala. June 6. 1e0L Dear Sir: have been 8 great sufferer from bladder trouble for two years and my case was of a very serious nature compelling me to have several painful and dangerous operations. I have also taken many different remedies; I taken Swamp Root three years. Warmers Sale cure two years, and they only gave temporary relief.
 After having two operations and pre- partng for the third, I saw your Texas Wonder advertised. and purchased bot tie. And I got almost immediate relief. and have continued to improve every since.
 My doctors said my bladder had grow Cd together in three places, and I was suffering almost death. No man living can say more than I can say for your Texas Wonder. And I call 1t a Worlds Wonder and I hope all who suffers will give a trial
 Wishing you success. am.
