The Germs of Fever.
Dr. Foote's Health Monthly.
Although we shall doubtless see
many snowflakes to remind us of win
ter , the date of this paper carries us to
the second month in spring. In one
month more we shall have summer.
On several occasions we have spoken to
our readers through the Health Month
ly of the dangers arising from neglect
ed cess-pools. . These cess-pools are
especially dangerous in warm weather ,
as warmth is favorable to the germina
tion of unwholesome bacteria when
there are any impurities about to pro
mote its multiplication. We are again
reminded of the importance of this
matter by an article in the Nineteenth
Century by Dr. B. "W. Carpenter. He
speaks of a house wherein last year
four members of the family were at
tacked with typhoid fever , one nar
rowly escaping death. The house wa
well situated , standing by itself in a
most salubrious situation. The most
thorough examination disclosed no de
fect in its drainage or water supply ,
nor was there any typhoid fever in the
neighborhood , it was found , however ,
that an offensive odor emanated from
a partially uncovered cess-pool in an
adjoining garden connected with prem
ises which had been occupied for school
purposes. Circumstances were such as
to admit of no reasonable question but
that the germs of the fever had arisen
from this cess-pool. Dr. Carpenter
concludes that while the breeding
ground of ordinary malarious germs is
111 he earth alone , and the germs of
some other diseases may be in the wa
ter alone , that there is an intermediate
class producing cholera , typhoid fever ,
yellow fever and perhaps some other
forms of fever which may thrive in the
human body , or in the earth , or in
water having the necessary impurities
to invite their visitation and fructifica
tion.
tion.These
These disclosures made from time
to time by scientific men who are giv
ing much time to sanitary science nat
urally lead one to inquire how long
the privy vaults of farm houses ana
those sometimes in closely packed vil
lages may go without attention " and
at the same time without" filling the
neighborhood with the germs of dis
ease. "Where the soil is leachy and
there is a quick absorption of the im
purities of the excrementitious matter
there may , perhaps , be no danger
whatever arising from neglected privy
vaults. But where the soil is hard and
clay-like , or where it is rocky , or
where , as in some cases the vaults are
\ made water-tight by cement .of some
kind , it seems evident that there should
be a frequent clearing out of such
places or else the substitution of some
such invention as the earth closet. It
is a question in our mind w-hether the
earth closet is not the proper thing to
be used where it is impossible to have
connection with public sewers , as in
large cities. By the use of the earth
closet the discharges are at once cov
ered and at once intermingled with a
dry absorptive earth -which practically
disinfects at once. This earth can be
removed as often as necessary and
new dry earth substituted ! That
which is borne away is perhaps as
valuable for compost purposes as many
of those compounds which are furnished
for this purpose , shipped great dis
tances and carried by vehicles to the
garden or farm. Would it not , then ,
be well for those who are fully abreast
with sanitary progress to look into
this matter and see if some of the
many earth closets now made may
not furnish a way out of what seems
like a troublesome difficulty ?

The agent of a New York grocery
house happened into a small establish
ment in a village in New Hampshire
the other day , and , noticing that the
grocer had a thumping big stock of
codfish on hand , he asked : "How did
you come to invest so much in codfish ? "
"Well , I lander figgured for a corner ,
you see. " "How ? " "Why , I bought
up every pound of it in town , and the
roads are so bad , that no more can be
got in here for a month. " "And how
have you succeeded ? " "Busted all to
smash , " was the sorrowful reply.
"Just as I got the corner fixed , the
only three families in town , who eat
codfish went off to Florida to spend the
whiter ! "

'I find that In addition to the pure spir
its contained In their composition , they
contain the extracts of hops and other well
known and highly approved medicinal
roots , leaves and tinctures in quantities
sufficient to rerrler the article what the
makers claim it to bo , to-wlt , a medicinal
preparation and not a beverage unfit an <
unsafe to bo used except as a medicine.
"From a careful analysis of their formu
la which was attested under oath I find
that in every wine glassfull of Hop Bitters ,
the active medicinal properties aside from
the distilled spirits are equal to a full dose
for an adult , which fact In my opinion ,
subjects it to an Internal revenue tax as a.

Hardened Liver.
Five years ago I broke dowu with kidney
and liver complaint and rheumatism. Since
then I have been unable to be about at all.
My liver became hard like wood ; my limbs
were puffed up and filled with water. All
the best pyhsiclans agreed that nothing
could cure me. I resolved to try Hop Bit
ters ; I have used seven bottles ; the hard
ness has all gone from my liver , the swell
ing from my limbs , and it has worked a
miracle in my case ; otherwise I would have
