A civilization and enlightenment adj
yances fresh scientific discoveries are
made that enables science to prevent
and successfully battle with scourages
Of disease before which millions sue
eumbed in earlier periods of history
through ignorance and prejudice. The
chemists Of the Department of Agrieul-
ture, after numerous experiments, have
made the announcement that new pre-
.paration has been compounded which
viii destroy the germs of typhoid fever.
This remedy can be applied to water
reservoirs in towns and cities and great
confidence is expressed that 1t will kill
all typnoid fever germs and thus pre-
vent typhoid fever epimedics. II this
thing proves to be fact it will be more
than god-send to humanity. The
value Of these experiments on the ty-
phoid fever germ alone is inestimaf5le.
Some may boot and jeer at what seems
TO them to be extravagant appropria-
tions and expenditures for so-called
useless and insignificant experimental
station for scientific discoveries, but
these discoveries have proved, are prov
ing and will prove That such moneys
are more than well spent for the bene-
fit of humanity and for the further en-
lightenment OF the country If any
thing let these experimental facilities
be enlarged and increased.
