CONCERNING THE GRANGER MILK.

To THE EDITOR OF THE RECORD:
In an article published in last week s
issue OF The Record by Mrs. Granger,
she claims TO have been subjected TO
persecution by the health officer, for the
reason that her milk license has been
revoked.
| wish 10 say that she is mistaken, as
any action | have taken In regard TO the
Granger dairy, has been after "A careful
investigation, submitting of the condi-
tions existing TO the State Board of
Health, and Local Board respectively,
and acted according TO their instruc-
tions for the benefit Of the public health.
one reason for revoking Mrs. Grang-
er's license Is easily explained. In the
first place, the stables and yards have
never been in clearly condition when
investigated. AS the epidemic pro-
crossed, we found that the cases almost
without exception, were supplied from
Granger dairy. Water from their we'll
was sent to State Laboratory for ex-
animation, and reported as containing
typhoid like germ, and unfit for use. A
sample Of milk taken from wagon was
examined by DIR. Brooks at her private
laboratory in Saginaw, and pronounced
hlthy ana unit FOR use, containing a
typhoid like germ.
Every death from typhoid fever dur
ing the last twelve months, with the
exception of perhaps one, had been drink
ing Granger milk.
In January and February, 1904, elev.
en- new cases developed. all on Granger
route. For about ten day after license
was revoked, few new cases developed
but since that time the town has been
practically free from typhoid fever.
Mrs. Granger had typhoid fever in
her own household during the year, the
only case reported in Arcadia township
These are the reasons that led US &c
believe the Granger milk TO be the
source Of the disease, and the revoking
of license. which we propose TO enforce
until satisfied that their place is IL
good sanitary condition. and safe
place for the public to secure the milh
supply. +. Z. LAME, Health Officer.

Microbes in Our
Drinking Water,

Secondly, the sample of water taken
for analysis is so small in comparison
with the amount OF water contaminated
that there may be no bacteria In the
sample taken.
Thirdly, usually samples of water are
not sent foe analysis until several have
become sick with the disease and at the
time the examination IL made there may
be no bacteria in the water.
Fourthly, the bacteria, bacillus coli
communis, closely resembles the bacil-
lus typhosus and it is easy 20 mistake
the one for the other.
The best way TO kill bacteria in water
is TO boil il and il should be boiled for at
least ten minutes for the germ In certain
stages (endospore) is covered with a
tough membrane which makes IL quite
resistant to chemicals and heat. Freez-
ing will not kill the plants but anti
septics will prevent their growth.
There are several good antiseptlcs, cor
rosive sublimate (HgCl2) is one Of the
best inorganic salts and "a three or four
per cent solution Of carbolic acid
(C6H5OH) makes a good antiseptic but
requires a little longer time for disinfec-
ton. The sprinkling of "a little carbolic
acid here and there is absurd for the dis
lnfectant must be applied directly to the
bacteria.
No city or village should expect TO be
free from disease that does not supply
its citizens with pure drinking water
and provide for the removal OF waste by
good system Of sewerage. Stops at the
back door and rotting material in the al
ley are fields upon which many OF these
harmful plants are grown. Pure water
within, and soap and water without. to-
gether with good food and plenty OF eX'
ercise form the basis of good health. In
recent bulletin issued by the board OF
health Of Chicago il is stated that the
average duration Of human life In that
city has doubled since 1872 and also
states that the increase is due largely TO
increased sanitary conditions. especially,
to the removal of the germ laden waters
Of the Chicago river by the new drain
age canal and the supplying o. purer
water in its place. FRANCIS h. WEST,

DO NOT DOSE THE STOMACH.
Hyomel, the Only Guaranteed Cure fol
Catarrh.

No one should confound Hyomei with
the patent medicines that are advertised
to cure catarrh. 1t is as far superior to
them all as the diamond is more valuable
than cheap glass. Their composition is
secret, but Hyomei gives its formula to
all reputable physicians aud is prescribed
by them generally.
Its base is the valuable eucalyptus oil
famous for its antiseptic qualities. This
is combined with aromatic and healing
gums aud balsams, making a pure liquid
which, when used in the Hyomei pocket
inhaler, fills the air you breathe with
germ-killing, disease destroying and
healing powers that restore health to
every part of the nose, throat and lungs.
The only way to cure catarrh and all
other diseases of the respiratory organs
is TO breathe Hyomei.
This treatment has been so successful
lib curing 80 per cent. of all who have
used it, that Hyomei is now sold by c..
"A. Sexton under an absolute guarantee
to refund the money in case it does not
benefit. You run no risk whatever in
buying Hyomei. III it did not possess
nnsual powers to cure, it could not be
sold upon this plan, 4
The complete Hyomei outfit costs 81
and comprises an inhaler, a bottle of
Hyomei and a dropper. The inhaler will
last a lifetime; and additional bottles of
Hyomei can be obtained for 50c.
