Editor The Washington Herald:
Why. In view OF the most approved
medical dicta touching the causes and
cure of all disease, will intelligent people
go on asserting that snow. yes. or slush
or water, is, or ever was at any time, a
cause OF the dread disease pneumonia
Since the stormy 4th this is constantly
being harped on and urged as an excuse
for changing inaugural day. The prince
OF idiots could not assign more hlog-
ical cause for that disease. Pure air is
the most effective antidote to all bac-
teria.
A snow or water covered earth is al
most a perfect concomitant of pure air.
Germs are quiescent in snow covered
or water soaked street; they are rampant
in dry and wind-swept street sur
charged with flying dust, chariot OF bac-
terra. permeating nosrils, eyes. and ears
When will people learn that Jack Frost
is the kindest providence that pulmonary
troubles can have. and that the irri-
tating disease unfortunately named IA

caused by changes Of meteorological tenn
