that portion of the bill conveying these powers
was purposely made very technical in order
that only legal mind could interpret its full
meaning it being believed that the ordinary
legislator would not favor the measure If he
understood its entire import. 1t is inter-
esting fact that the first case under the law
brought into court was effort to prove the
up onstitutionality of this feature: but it was
carried to the Court of Appeals and its con-
sttutionality was sustained by ma jority of

The agitation in New York rapidly extended
over the entire country. and other cities Sc
cured the necessary legislation, the Metropoli-
tan Law being the basis of construction of the
health organizations Within decade nearly
every municipality in the land had its health
laws and sanitary ordinances and compe-
tent authority to enforce them
The enormous influence which this reform
has had upon the health and domestic life of
the people can never be estimated refer
ence to the former and present sickness and
death rates of New York enables us to approx
mate the vast saving of life and consequent
prevention of sickness and human misery. that
has resulted from health laws founded on the
Metropolitan Law, and ntelligently but rightly
enforced Before the passage OF that law the
annual death rate often upward of thirty
five in thousand population since that
law went into effect it has steadily fallen until
it has reached the low figure of eighteen to the
thousand, and occasionally even fifteen. or
saving of more than fifteen thousand lives an
nually when the population of New York was
only about one million If we extend this esti-
mate to the whole country of eighty-seven
million people We may gain faint conception
of the inestimable benefits which the applica
ton of sanitary knowledge to the daily life of
people can accomplish
The Great Lesson Leaned
IN the retrospect from the vantage ground of
half a century of sanitary progress we recog-
nize that during the third quarter of the last
century the people of England were wagng
successful war on domestic uncleanlness
contributory. if not the sole cause of epidemic
diseases The Health Officer of England in
sisted that domestic filth was the actual cause
of many of the low forms of disease. and named
them accordingly This official act of the high
est health authority of that country led to the
practice of cleanliness in the home and its
roundings Filth in every form was removed
as the necessary remedial measure against
these diseases with the result that not only
were foreign pestilences prevented. but the
whole brood of domestic diseases was greatly
reduced in number and the severity of cases
that did occur was greatly diminished in Writ
lence
But during the fourth quarter of the last
century the question arose among scientists.
why is filth-that is. decomposing matter
the prolific cause of disease?" The answer
came from the famous Pasteur of Paris, and
Lister of Edin burgh, Filth is dangerous be-

cause it is filled with germ life. The mere re-
moval of filth from one locality to another
does not render it harmless except to those
who are no longer in personal contact with IT.
So called filth was indeed harmless if the germs
1t cOntalneC. were killed.
The mole scheme of sanitation at once
changed: agents that would kill germs were
eagerly sought by many scientists, and germl
cides were found in abundance Cremation
was most effectual, and was available in the
destruction of masses of filth: but there was
phase of the question that required other
methods
Lister announced that these disease produc-
ing germs entered wounds and prevented heal
ing, and that germcide was required which
would kill the germ in the wound and would
not in iure the living healthy tissue. Further
Investigations showed that these dangerous
germs were not confined to dust heaps but
existed in the unclean recesSes OF the human
BODY
Sternberg startled the world with the an
nouncement that an unclean human mouth
cont aimed germs of the most poisonous char
acter
An eminent German surgeon declared that
germs of a dangerous character existed in the
folds of the skin of the palm of the hand which
amount of washing with soap and water
could remove and could be destroyed only by
some agent directly applied
Sanitation of the body as well as OF the dust
heap now became the paramount question
and especially did this apply to the practice of
surgery
The Value of Germicides
TT would be impossible even to summarize ex-
1 cept in volume the vast number of SO
called germicides that have been brought to
the attention of the public for use but in the
practice of surgery the chief reliance is placed
upon those agents which simply oxidize organic
matter and thus destroy the germ without in
turing living tissue as do all forms of caustic
preparations The saving of life by these new
measures far exceeds that effected by simply
removing the material that contains the germ,
without destroying the germ itself
Personal sanitation as well as the sanitation
of the home and its belongings. is destined to
be the salvation of the human race,
1t is impossible to estimate the resources of
science in its efforts to discover the ultimate
conditions that govern the origin and spread
of all the pestilential diseases but its revela-
tions during the last quarter of a century are
a prophecy and promise that the whole brood
of domestic contagious and infectious diseases
will disappear during the present century from
the homes of English speaking people largely
because the lessons of cleanliness being
learned not only the lessons of cleanliness of
the home. but also personal Cleanliness
form of cleanliness that is more than washing
with soap and water,-that kind of cleanliness
which kills germs, removes the substances IN
which they live and disinfects and makes
aseptic and healthy the surrounding tissues
