In conclusion it Is declared that there is doubt
Whatever concerning the damaging effect of the
waste upon the river. With regard to the effect of
the waste on Lake Ciamplain it is stated that:
Having determined that suphite waste is appre-
ciable for considerable distances into the lake. 1t
becomes necessary consider what effect this waste
may have As above stated. the waste is composed
largely of organic matter and the effects which il
would have must be interpreted according to or
ganic standards. Primarily the character OF
the organic matter is not harmful 10 health
1t contains no organisms of specific disease
and therefore cannot be regarded in-tially
as menace to the public health. Undouet-
edly. however this organic matter forms
ricus for the development bacters IN large num-
ners. Although there opportunity to make
experiments with reference to the persistence OF
Intestinal bacteria it is probable. judging from
analogous experiments made elsewhere. that such
germs would thrive better in water containing this
organic matter than in the normal water OF the
river and lake. Undoubtedly, far as a SPECIFIC
disease is concerned. this waste does not DO as
much Initial damage to Ausabie River rs the
sewage which Issues from several private sewers
in the village of McKeesvile. Nevertheless, this
does not by any means relieve the pulp company
from responsibility. The measure of damage TO

damage to the stream, as has been stated IN pre-
vous pages is unQuestioned
I'm connection with the question OF algae, ii has
been asserted that this waste is the ceUse OF
greater profusion of growth than would normally
occur along the shores Undoubtedly certain algfe

SEWAGE FROM BURLINGTON.

Taking up sewage pollution by the city of Bur
lngtOn and the Winooski River the report shows
that the city having population of 1850 accord
ing to the last census emptes its entire sewage
into the lake and that the conditions seem to be
well adapted for combining the impurities coming
from the Burlington sewers and from Ninooski
River in that immediate region. the trend OF the
impurities varying with the immediate local condi-
tons. Normally without winds the sewage from
Burlington takes southery turn along the shore
OF the Lake and swings outward, taking north
erly by Apple Tree Point. a little further
to the west. The water OF WinoOski River APP
parently flows south and then swrls into the broad
lake in the same manner; thus the impurities are
concentrated first at place and then at
other. the ultimate mixture giving TO the water i'll

north. south and west character which By no
means warrants its consumption for domestic pur
poses in the state. The impurities issuing
from Burlington and the Winooski are almost en-

pollution problem in any important degree The

conditions general increase in the amount of
chorides in the water, slight rise of the amount

The conclusion reached is that the sewage from
Burlington and that from the Winooskj River
poutes practically the entire shore from Colchester
Point to Shelburne Bay. and includes within the
contaminated area the water intake o. the Burlng

unQuestionable that the sewage OF Burlington and

CONSUMPTION
Manly Caused by Chronic Colds and
and Hang-on Coughs.

Mr.. Geo. w. Putnam has given a good
deal of time to the study of cousump-
tion, and finds that comparatively few
cases are hereditary.
Mostly all are eaused by neglected
coughs and colds, which gradually
weaken the whole pulmonary system
.and before people realize it there is a
diseased spot in one lung; splitting blood
soon follows and eventually collapse.
Such an unnecessary end, such pity
for all could have been so different.
We know Of hundreds of cases where
our wonderful cod liver oil preparation.
Ninol, has saved young and valuable
life, which without il would have been
sacrificed. We have letters from people
who were given up to die, and who
positively state that Vinol. and Vinol
alone saved their lives when all else
had failed to held them.
Vinol is able TO cure hanging-on colds
and stubborn coughs, because il is the
most perfect preparation of cod liver
oil ever compounded; il contains no oil
or grease to upset the delicate stomach.
yet il does contain every one Of the
hfty odd medicinal curative elements
actually taken from fresh cod livers,
and we freely and publicly state that
We will supply all the VinOl we think
necessary to cure any case Of chronic
