Mk. riNGHA.M : If the follow in?;' idea> are considered worihy of attctition, you at«* at lilx rty to insert them in your Jou'- nal. Althou^di they are hastily thrown lo,y;ether, they have beet) maturely cot'-j siderel for years p.ist. Much tnort j mit'ht be said on the subject and perha;.'s , may, at some convcnierit season? but at present, my heultli will not admit a leng'hy consideration. Forty years aijo our country was uni- '-rs;iIly henlthv. Physicians v\ere scat tei-ed from 20 to 50 miles apart, and y« t. wiihout much difl'u.ulty, attended all tf.cj siek. But how are llu limes changed ! —l’'evcrs have become our annual visi- irrs, and we look for siektn'ss as we look j fof eijnnge ('f seasons. Why is it stj r j W'hat causes mi'y be assigned fortliis: unhappy change f My present design is to point out some cf the most prominent, and sugi., st to the public such methods td' relief, which, if atteniied to, niay, I humbly think, render our h ippy coun try as heahhy as it__ever has been, 'i'he first cause 1 shall mention, is old !(;ghoi.i-i ses in a state of decay. For a tiutnberl of y eors I have observed, that l^ost who| dwell in such f.ouses seldoni escape the fever: and the reason is-/b\ious,—ilte decaying wood generates miasm abun- daiitly. to which they are exposed by lught and by day ; and the most of those old houses being badly ventilated, ren ders il so much tiie worse, as the air thus impregnated is the mure cot'lined imme diately about them. Another cause is old fence rows. Every one knows what vast (juantities (d' trash are collected a* | bout them by winds, rains, th«- growth of vegetable mattei'. &t. 8tc. Every far- • cer who would consult his health or Ids interest, would do well to re-set his fen ces every twoor thret years, and eolleci all the rotten vegetable matter and .sprt-aci it for manure, and thereby prevetU that continual decomposition in open air, whieb fills the atmosphere with noxious miasms. Or, if the manure is not tbouglu worth colU'ciing, it would consume but little time to rea»ove the rails and biirii the row, and then re-set. Another cause is large piles of wood hauled into yards and convenient places, for culinary pur poses. This may be economy, but it is bad policy. Dead carcases left unburied about our farms, filthy hogsties, kc. See. may justly be ranked among tlie causes of the disease. But the most prominent and os’ensi!)le of all causes is to be found iti the state of our wHS^er courses and for ests. The time has been, when our branches and creeks met no obstructi..n and the air had free ciicuialion ever all the country. Xot so now. la conse- (juence of our forests not being atniually liurnt as formerly, tiiey have btcome per fect thickets ; the air is obstiu jted in its r.lh.l Ihc hn »,l, ,„.l only i;' I. . . , . , ’ . . ! earth is covered with leaves and ctl.ei becMuse It is ajit i which, throughout the 'J HE CIlHIS riAN HEI.KJIOX.
