Tea Drinking and Typhoid.

1t is said on the high authority
of an American medical journal
that, although the Chinese people
live in a germ-saturated soil, they
are singularly free from typhoid
fever and other diseases of which
water is the medium of communi-
cation. This condition is attribu-
ted to the universal custom of
copious tea drinking. The tea it.
self is not held to be the safeguard
against disease but the boiling of
the drink has a germicidal effect
which produces sanitary advanta-
gee. Aud if tea produces any i'll
results they are not to be consider
ed besides these advantages. The
tea leaf is described as being one
of the most innocent and attractive
tlavorings possible for hot drinks,
and the boiled drink is the foe of
the deadly germ.-Ex.
