Those of Yarions Cities. * he « quantity of the water used in]. cities depends upon the character of theiindustries : principally, engaged in, and varies. from 25 to 200 gallons per day-to the individual. In manufacturing towns, and where water is used for fountains and elevators, the amount of water used is.greatest. Alleghany, Pa,-oses 200 gallons per day, Buffalo 998,’ while Fall River does. well with only 29 gallons per day te the man. The question of greatest importance is the quality. There was once a time}. wher good taste and appearance were deemed ample guides in selecting pure ater, but that time has passed. An‘alysis has shown water, which to all . Appearances was pure and wholesome, to contain poisonous bacteria in greater or less quantities. It often happens that water polluted with sewerage, organic or mineral matter, tastes and . looks as well in that condition as when it is sterilized. Asa result of this, many methods of purifying have been devised, ‘several of which are successfally used,’ The death rate from typhoid fever hes been greatly reduved.iu Berlin and London since the filteration of their water supplies. In Zurich the typhoid fever mortality was reduced to onetenth of what it was before the introduction of filters for purifying the water supply. The water used in Lawrence, Mass., contains the sewage ‘of Lowell, ten miles above. Records of many years ‘show that a short time after a typhoid epidemic bad. started at. Lowell one would also start at Lawrence, as’ the @eums of the disease were carried down the river. In 1898 system of purifying the water by filteration was intreduced at Lawrence. Since that time ‘auother plague of typhoid has conie’ upon Lowell, but for the first time in the history of the two cities it was followed.by one at. Lawrence, Thefeare ‘several. ways in which a city’s water supply may be made wholesome for all purposes, Spomge or metallic iron is used with good results in the cities of Holland and Germany. It has been found that impure water may be rendered almost sterile by continued agitation with coke and charcoal, even when these materials are not in a fine state of division. Allowing the water to stand in a reservoir permits many impurities to settle tothe bottom, and thus improves it providing there is sufficient. motion to prevent stagnation. However, if the water in the reservoir is not. deep this method is not good. Scientists have found that river water running into deep reservoirs contains from five to ten times as many bacteria as that running out of thesame, Addition of certain salts of i iron to the water has a salutary effect, but this entails a greater expense than by the use of the 8 nd filter bed. An.important question for city officials to consider is whether the city or a private corporation shall own the water works. Over one half of the wa'er works in the’ Union are owned by private companies, as Nevada City’s ‘was for many years until 1897 when the people voted bonds and bought out . Mrs,,Huntington—an investment that has proved advantageous in every way. Mos€ larger. cities own their works, whilé in the smaller we find’ more pri_ Vate water companies. It often occurs that, for financial reasons, or -because of danger attendant om the incurrence of a greater debt, objections are urged against. municipal ownership. Pedple do ‘uet seem to realize that by the franchise system taxpayers often carry a heavier burden than by public ownerships. : New Goods Daily.

[THE GRIP AND -ITS CURE. A Writer Describes It and Tell How to Treat It. Since the epidemic of recent ‘years influenza (or grip as it is more often called) seems to have taken deep root almost. everywhere. Jt visits-us_ periodieally, raging arith : ‘more. Gr less intensity, and does not Spateeven those those whom it attacked before. For it may be noticed that, far from conferring immunity, a previous attack of this disease predisposes the patient to another, as happens in the case of paludism. g Influenza is displaying @ recrudesthis reasen, and also because it appears in a particularly malignant form, it will be of interest to indicate the general lines of ‘the treatmént to be adopted. This varies according to whether it is intended to prevent the’ disease or to cure it once it has broken out. As influenza is an infections disease, due to action of a known gern, it is necessary to take précautions against ‘contagivn. The first measure of defense consists in the isolation ‘of patients and prompt closing of establishments in which the disease has. declared itself with any intensity. : The air, and more particularly the damp air, breathed, on denuded: river banks and iu low lying districts seems to be specially adapted to the transmission of the germs, But minute antiseptie care of the nose and ‘mouth thay insure against infection through this channel, Numerous observations have ‘shown’ that people escaped the disease even when livitg ina center of contagion by using carefully sterilized water. Hence the absolute necessity of drinking only filtered or boiled water date an. epidemic. There is another question complemen-. tary to the prophyigctic and hygienic meastires inténded to prevent an invasion of influenza: Are there any means for arresting infeciion and rendering it abortive? Avery general “practice in. Russia is to take a warm bath on the; first symptome of the disease being felt. And not infrequently it is found to answer the purpose. ' Another method has been ‘prescribed by Oliver of Paris as & preservative against influenza. It]. is codliver oil. This substa should be taken in doses of one to two tablespoonsfulsin the middle of b +80 as to give least trouble to the stomach. It .is said to have kept all who took it influenza free. There seems to be no specific action :in eodliver oil—only the powerful tonic action for which it is cence: at thé ‘present . moment; for. ’ B-§ sof quimine may be men preventiv tment, but “large quantities, say, about otk every* twenty hours in two separate doses. ° If sulphate of quinine does not always act as a preventive; it may serve . to cure.

It isadministered in quantities’ of two to three grams during the twenty-four hours in ‘doses of fifty centigrams every two hours, and is. intended to ward off pleuro-pulmonary congestion. . Amtifebrine and phenacetine are said to act like sulphate of quinine and anfipyrine, but with less marked effectSalicylate of soda-may have good excessive, Salipyrine in doses of half a gramme ‘to “a gram exercises ‘its soothing, hy pnotic properties when: ‘headache is ‘very. great. Hyposulphite “of soda, when taken “in tablespoomfulsevery two hours from a potion made up of . four grams, is likely to diminish all the. morbid symptoms by the endof the day.
