LETTER ADDRESSED TO SUPERINTENDENTS
HEALTH OFFICER BURSoN CALLS ATTENTION TO POSSIBLE Ex- IsTENCE OF STAGNANT POOLS OF WATER ALONG RAILROADS.

Chief Sanitory Inspector W. c. Burson has addressed a letter to the superintend- ents of the several railroads entering Birmingham calling attention to the pos sible existence of stagnant pools of water along their right of ways. The health officer asks in case such a nuisance ex- ists that the same be abated before the warm weather commences.
 The letter follows:
 "As the summer season is near ap- preaching it is very necessary that we take every precaution in regard to drain age, etc, as the stagnation of water dur ing the warmer season of the year causes same to become thoroughly con- tamnated with wiggle-tails and microbes of many different varieties, and causing the immediate vicinity to be very much less sanitary than it would otherwise be- without the stagnant water existing.
 Tn all probability there are some low places on your right of way upon which water stands and stagnates, and which by a little filling or draining would dis pose of same.
 Any places in condition as above men, toned within the city limits, at which place you may abate this nuisance, will be greatly appreciated by the public and this department"

A DIFFERENCE
 IN LUNGS.

In the Edinburgh Uni versity three human lungs lie side by side. One is of an Eskimo and is snow white. In life, this would be ruddy with rich blood. Another is that of a coal-miner and is black. The other is of town dweller and is a dirty slate gray, as are the lungs of most city residents. That's why consumption thrives in cities.
 One reason why Scott's Emulsion does so much to keep down consumption is because it helps to keep the lungs clean and supplies them with rich, red blood. It makes the lungs germ-re- sisting. If the body is run down and health is at a low ebb Scott's Emulsion will build it up quickly and per. manently.
