C. Dkau Doctou: Somo weeks ago a let- tor was received trout you asking me lor tacts, or my ideas or experience in regard to malaria in connection with drinking water. OI.ll T1IKOKIHS no not no LP. In the outset I will rtiy: Four years i. go my lailii in the old theory ol im am ine; malaria into the system was terribly shaken and subsecii'.eiH exiiencnce lias taught mo that nm through the aimo'- here alono am iinrins tnk'ii into Hie milium economy, but through other chan nels do they enter i in systems and do their deadly w.u-k. LOCATION Ol.' TRENTON. To fully appreciate, wliall shall say in this conno.-ttiiii it will 1-e necessary for me to give vou au idea ol the location ol our village. Tivnton is situated on the south bank of Trent Rivtr, which stream, in it e cneiiil course, runs trom west to oast. Just south of tint villain: is Crook id Run. which flows into the river a half mile be bw IheTown mid is parallel with the river lorn lnito nbovo. tins latter stream is situated a mill far enough down to throw the pond, which is a largo one. covering over two hundred acres ot laud, directly south of us. So you sec our vil lage is stirrouiulo.l on all sides with wa'er except to tlio wesr, and at this point the pond and river approach within three hundred yards ol each other. II OOP WAT mi. This peninsula or narrow uock ofland on which our village is located is a ridge, and our water is as gojd, if not belter than most of the walor in this eastern (-ec- tiou. When tho river and pond are low tho drninnge of our town is almost perfect and no sin face water ever contaminates our wells. All of our wells are from 18 to 30 feet deep, and the water iu them is ol ami good Willi one exception, in midsummer if a thermometer is placed in the water whoi. first drawn it will drop to 00 degrees, nnd iu some of the walls the water is sooler than tins temperature. ONE EXCEPTION AND THE RESULT. I said with ono exception all of our water was good. This exception is a well which in on the public street ut the loot ol a hill leading to a bridge across the river. The water iu this well is cool, but surface water enters it, especially during rainy spells. In this neighborhood persons us ing wider from this well have chills more or leis every year and at all seasons of the year. With this exception the rett nf the citiieus . ( thin village are exempt from malarial troubles, unless during a pro longed rainy season wheu the other wells are to a certain extent contaminated with surface water, or they contract malaria while hunting: or fishing by drinking spring, brunch or river ivuter. So much lor the situation ot our villugo and our water. FACTS AGA INST BAD AIK THEORY. Now for the teory of breathing iu ma larial poison and why my faith iu said theory has been almost destroyed. Four years ago Inst March this mill which has been mentioned was washed out, the water ran out of the pond, leaving staguant pools all over it, ami tho stencil from the exposed mud and decayed vegetation was uwlul. To make mutters worse the south winds (for the pond is diicctly South pi us and souio of the people live right on the edge of the pond) "brought this foul odor into our village, and sumo nights wnni tho winds were from the south tho slonch wns hardly bearable. Tho pond remained in this condition all summer till lull, when llio mill was replaced und the water again covered this foul mud nnd decaying veuetablo mat tor a uot-bed lor malaria, so to speak. Kcahziiig tue situation, i predicted tnai overyb dy would lie sick, and I thought 1 could prophesy with absolute certainty in this instance, but strange to say wo nan no more chills thnu usual; in lact, we were almost exempt from malarial troubles. This sot mo to thinking and gave the theo ries laid down in our text-books ns tohow the malarial poison is contracted a terrible shaking. Ijist August all the water was allowed to i uu out of this pond in order that some repairs might be made to the datn. Again through tlio latter part of August and the month of September we had the same con ditions ns describod above, only intensi fied, for in tlio former instance tho pond was emptied early in tho spring and to a great extent had dried beforo the hot weather bad set in, but in this case it hap pened in llio midst of the hotlist season and during thm mths we have the great est amount of htulnrial troubles. Our poo nlo were tndignnnt nt the owner of this property for doing as he did, but if it in creased sickness nt nil I was ntvor able to detect il. . The truth of the matter is wo had fewer cases of malaria than usual. This spring we have suffered Irom a prolougod nud severe drought, and this same pond is oow almost dry with the exception of tho pools of stagnant water and tho main channel of the stream that supplies water to the pond, yet wo hare FINANCIAL COMBAT. OPENS. The Horr-IIarvey Contest on the Money Question. Ex-CougriwiiiiHu llorr nnd W. II. Har vey Bt-glu Their Eight Days' Itcbntc on tho Free Colnuge : Iimuc Coin Financial School Attacked -The Ovbnte Very Spirited. The announced debate between W. H. Harvey, of Chicago, author of "Coin's Financial School" and W. II. Ilorr, Imgan on the llilh In Chicago. Mr. Ilorr, tho single standard gold champion is an addi tional writer for llio Now York Tribune. Ho was once u member of Congress Irom Michigan. Only a few uro given the privilege of beiug present. There were seals for only about iwo hundred in the Assembly hull w here the debate is being Held and only about half of them were occupied, the first lay. -vlr. Harvey fortified himself for the en counter by a gro it pile, of authorities for statements made in his book, llo refers to them frequently. I he debate is on the afternoon ol eight consecutive days except that Sunday will hj skipped. Three hours each day will be do voted to it. Each speaker has leu minutes, and no more ut a time. The lapping of a bell ivos warning when tho speaker has come to w ithin two minutes ol the end of his tini". The whole dobale will be copy righted and published in book'lorm. I lie nrgumont was spirited anil both p.iakeis had hard work at limes to pro- serve their temper. .VI r. Ilorr s.udot (Join s Financial school that he had never read a book containing o many misstatements and referred to the uithor with some seve'uly. Mr. Harvey, in his opening romaiks. simply presented his plan of campaign and told w hat he would prove. JUr. Horr wanted to know why the names of prominent citizens hail liocn used in Mr. Harvey's book, and words put into their mouths that they had never used, to which Hi. Harvey replied that his book was simply an allegory, and tho fact that a little boy was put in as teacher ought to be enough to prove to any sensible person thai, this was so. Then the speakers plunged at once into the thick of the liuht. larial nature except in the locality ol the well referred to above and these casos were early in tho spring before drought sot iu. Since receiving your letter I have made it a point to fish ia this pond during all hours of the day (aud the stench liotn the mud and decaying vegetation wui very offensive) to see if breathing in these nox ious vapors woukl produce malaria in my system. No trouble at all was experienced from thus exposing myself. Others who exposed thomsolves as mik:h it not more than I did, and refrained from drinkiug the branch nnd spring wider along the streams also escaped malaria; but iu m al ly every instance wlieio they drank from tho creek and springs along 'his creek that supplied the pourt they had malaria in some form. PRIME CAUSE OF TROP11I.B I will give you oue more striking in stance where the water was the prime cause of malarial trouble. Two miles belovy this place on the rivor is a large saw-mill. One of the hands who acted as natehniiuiwusrequiredto.be on the rounds all the time, aud a liouso was built for his tinnily near tho mill.' This family and the hands oftlie mill used wa ter from a spring that came from the earth m a low, marshy place, a euro was sunk iu the mud around this spring, which held about two barrels of water all the time, ind au ovi rllow of the curb was the only way for the water to escape. As long as this water was usod by this man's family and the rest of the hands at tho mill some of thcni were down with malarial fever all the time. I pointed out tlio troublo to them and had them to use water from anotlierspriug which had no basin to it, but the water was tukeu 'nto the vessels as ii flowed out of the hill. Tho result was the malarial troubles wore greatly dimin ished und my visits to theso people wore cut down over half. In conclusion, I will say thcro is no doubt in my mind that drinking water plays un impoitant part in causing mala rial iroublos, and that if wo can got ia this eastern section good, pure water, free Irom surface water, we will have litllo to lour from malaria. I an., very truly yours, R. A. WlIITAKEW. M. D. The above is a very convincing lotlor of the noed to use none nut pure water.
