the river became narrow and deep.
Its sourcc--the beliefs in disease
had not grown less, but the chan

flowed was narrowed down SO that
it covered less ground, because the
many and varied beliefs regarding
the cause of disease had in most
instances given way tot he belief
in germs. The dam still obstructs
