Clear:running water is an -invaluable purifier, and a frequent flooding of sewers and drains will do much to prevent disease. The use of any of the disinfectants named,. will go far to assist in making the sanitary condi- tion of the town or city perfeetDs' The refuse of gas -works where gas is made from coal, can, I think, be utilized, with peeper washing, and form a cheap 114 invalua.bledisinfec- tant. In it we find carbolic acid in sufficient quantity for ordinary use, and time only is -necessary to turn this waste to good account. .Attention is called to the following summary of results in careful experi- mentation in regard to four of these, disinfectants, as quoted by Dr. Bax- ter's paper ,in the report of Mr. Simon; M. D., F. R. C. S:: \Evidence has been added to show that carbolic acid, sul- phur dioxide, potassic permanganate, and chlorium, are all of them endow- ed with tree disinfecting properties, though in very various degrees. It is essential to bear in mind that antiseptic is not synonymous with disinfecting power, though, as regards the four agente eanmerated above ; the nee M, in a tiertaile rmited sense, commensurate with the other. The (ffectital disinfectant operation of chlorine and potaseic permanganate, appears ti) depend far more on the nature of the medium through which the particles of . infective matter 'are distributed, than on- the specific char- acter of the particles i themèelvea When either of these., agents is used to disinfect a virulent liquid containing much organic matter, or any compounds capable of uniting with chlorine, or of . decomposing the permanganate, there is no security for the effectual fulfihnent• of disin- fection short of the presence of free chlorine or andecosnposed perman- ganate in has had t: A virulen ¡quid IC to sub id after all action not be re- garded as certainly and completely disinfected by sulphur dioxide unless it has been rendered permanently and strongly acid. , The greater solu- bility of this agent \enders it prefer- able, coeterie partbue, to chlorine and carbolic acid, for the disinfection of liquid media. No virulent liquid can be considered disinfected by carbolic acid . unless it contain at least two percent of the pure acid. When disinfectants are mixed' with liquid, it is important to be sure that they are thoroughly incorporated with it, and that no solid matters capable of shielding contagium front_ imme- diate contact with its destroyer be overlod!ked. Aerial disinfection, al - commonly practiced in. the sick room, is either useless or positively objectionable, owing to the -false sense of security it is calculated to produce. To make the air `Õt• the room smell strongly of carbolic acid by scattering carbolic powder about the floor, or of chlorine, by placing a tray of chloride of lime in a' corner, is, KO far as the destruc- tion of 'specific contagia is concerned, utterly futile. When aerial disinfec- tion is resorted to t the probability that the virulent particles are shield- ed by an envelope of dried albumin- ous matter should always be held before the mind. Chlorine and sul- phur dioxide, are, both of them, suitable agents' for the purpose; the I latter seems decidedly to be the more ! eflectua1 of the two. -The use of Car, ' bolic mg t he certainty of its action. Whether chlorine or sulphur dioxide be chosen., it is desirable that the space to be dis- infected should be kept -saturated with the gas for a certain time, nol less than an houtl. and this in tue absence of such gaseotia compouuds as might j combine ,or decompose the disinfec- tant -,r its energy. ' h a ei nd the f t a h r o i r ul ough disinfection of - .my i-a mass ' of solid -or liquid matter iihrough which a contagion is (Weems ; Mated, is impracticable, we should I guard against giVing a false security j by the inadequate employment' of iir- tilicial means. It is probable that all j contagia disappear sooner or later tin- -der the influence of air and misture, ; and that the absence of these influ- ences may act as a preservative. When, therefore, we can not advan- tageously or effectively supersede the natural process of decay, we must be sure that we do not hamper it by the injudicious use of antiseptics. I Dry hest, when, it can be applied, i» ! prObably the most efficient of all dis- infectants. But, in the first place, we must be sure that the desired temper- ature is actually reseed by every particle of 'matter included in the ' heated space; secondly, length of ex- posure and degree of heat should be , regarded as 'mutually compensatory ; factors, within certain Buena. i The above cases are not so discour- i teems tie they martioblipaliawitt Arst • glance to our reliance upon artificial I disinfectants. If we believe that all i ¡ contagia are generated, like those • of small -pox and scarlet-fever, in the in- fected organism, and there only, the outlook is a hopeful one.- We . might even anticipate an approach to: the perfect fulfilment of the work of dis- infection, by subjecting all matters, immediately after their removal _from the affected person and before any di- lution or admixture, to the full influ- ence of one or 'other among the . de- structive agencies at our command. On the other hand, if the contagi of any disease is capable of being gener- ated de novo outside the body (pytho- genic origin of enteric fever, typhus created by overcharging) such coo - 1 taginin can hardly be eradicated by 'any method of artificial disinfection. For cises of the latter kind, it is to cleanliness, ventilation, and drainage, and the use of perfectly pure drinking . water, that populations ought mainly to look for safety against nuisance and infection. Artificial disinfectants can naut ponds -require perfect drainage, and doubtless the subsequent . tilling with soil to prevent the return of the nuisance.

Frequent whitewashing 01 o:itlious ee, cellars, ceilings, and fences is of great benefit as a purifier. - For the effieient and conscientious discharge of thee duties, it is evident that a Medical Officer di' Health must make himself thoroughly acquainted with the fundament d principles of public and *practical hygiene, with the general and local circumstances which may affect the health of the popula- tion in his' district, and with the var- ious clauses of the public -health and other acts (if there be any) which more immediately concern his office. So much is left to his discretionary pow& in advising and in certifying as to what is or is not injurious to the public health, that he can not but feel the gravo responsibility which will devolve upon him if through ignoranee or neglect on the one hand or mistaken zeal and want of tact on the other, he fails to carry out his duties honestly, judiciously, and efficiently.

It is a subject to be continually studied, es- pecially at such seasons of the year When the most good can be alumni- plished, and that, too, in the safest manlier. The sewerage system should be frequently and 'carefully examined and dieinfietants freely used, together with efull supply of pure water; this to be . done daily, during the heated terni if there is the least tendency to- ward the accumulation of noxious gases and effluvia. The streets and glitters mumenot be overlooked, for here we find abundant cause for com- plaint. It should be impressed firmly on our minds that \Cleanliness is next to godliness.\ The authorities slniuld 'see to, it that hackmen, expressmen, and those of like . callings keep their stands free from filth and offal.

COUNT of the vote in Twelfth District for Delegates to tile Constitutional Convention, seats Hon. W. C. Gillette, Republidan, instead of S. F. Raletcin, Independent.. In com- menting on this filet last Saturday, the Helena Independent said: \NVbat- ever may have been the previous party affiliations of Mr. Ralston, he has of late been too much addicted to the Henry 'George distemper tp make him a desirable man in the convention.\ That is the way the progenitors of the Independent talked about the abo- litionists forty years ago. That is the way the Scribes and Pharisees talked about the followers of Jesus ‚Christ eighteen hundred years ago. That is the way the selfish always talk about new 'ideas. Why should Mr. Ralston not be a desirable mad in the Conven- tion? There is no question but that dust rious, law-abiding citizen. Why is he not a desirable member? Is it because he may have some ideas to present new perhaps to most of the members and liable to create discus- sion? Well, if he is willing to submit his ideas to the fiery crucible of public discussion, what ham? can he do, even if his ideas are erroneous? And would not a member with new ideas be more desirable than a member with no ideas who goes to the Convention nini - ply to be kept \in line\ for one or the other of the old parties? THE AGE is not in favor of woman -suffrage, 'but it would never presume to say that an advocate of woman -suffrage otherwise qualified would be undesirable as a member of the Convention.. TEE Asia is not in favor of prohibition, but it would never say that 'it was not de- sirable to present that question for dis-' Mission before the Convention, The Independent should be ashamed of its un-Ainerioan and ungenerone remark.
