INFECTED PIECE OF NATURE, | { Little Talks on Henith & Hygiene by Samo- el OG, Dixon, MD, LL.D, Uommissioner of Henlth, Our streams once undefiled by man ran from the mountains to the sea In all of Nature's purity. They ran through our valleys and meadows in all their pristine beauty and offered to all animate nature that which would innocently quench the thirst of man and beast and help them live, To-day it is not so, Man relentlessly, regard- less of bis brother down stream, now throws his waste and that of domestic apimals into the waters flowing pear- est his home, In that with which Nature has en- dowed much of our territory morerich- ly than many other countries, we now find lurking polson has been hidden, in some cases only to be seen by the aid of the microscope. Now is the season when we travel the country to be happy and lay up energy and strength for the toil of the coming winter, Alas! The want of intelligence and care makes us deaf to the teaching of preventive medicine and we quench our thirst at the stream we run across regardless of its purity, and often the sparkling tum- bler of water is only to be compared with the draught of the deadly hem- lock, The parched lips have been moistened and the thirst satisfied but the day of judgement too often comes bringing the development of typhoid fever which in years past we could only compare with some of the plagues that ravaged our ancient cities, Those of us who collect, tabulate, and have ever before us the statistics that show the suflering and sorrow that &till continue from typhoid fever, beg you to awaken to that which causes 830 much distress.
