LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
The Sewage Wells Question.
Srrk,— Your leader in Friday's ExaMiInek headed *‘ Sanatory,” could not fail to meet the approval of your numereus readers in the city. That those blind wells to which you referred are being used to carry off the fouled water from various households in the city, is only too true, and the pernicious practice calls loudly for prompt attention on the part of the Board ef Health aad sanitary officer. A few weeks ago, through the medium of your columns, | briefly referred to the same subject, and pointed out the danger to which were exposed the citizens who still derive their supply of drinking water from the pumps. The Water Com- missioners should, therefore, prosecute the work of supplying services with all the ex: pedition possible, and provide every citizen with the pure and safe water from the pumping station. Still, it must be borne in mind that supplying such pure water, great as is the boon vn the score of health, is unly a partial remedy, whilethe ground air and ground water are being cunstantly
“ Avyer’s ea 7-9 ag and Ayer’s Pills are the best selling medicines in my store. I can recommend them conscien- tiously.’”—C, Bickhaus, Pharmacist, Roseland, Il.
“We have sold Ayer’s Sarsaparilla here f6r over thirty years and always recommend it when asked to name the best blood-purifier.”— W. T. McLean, Druggist, Augusta, Ohio.
**T have sold your medicines for the last: seventeen years, and always keep them in stock, as they are staples. ‘ There is nothing so g for the youth- ful blood’ as Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.’”’?— R. L. Parker, Fox Lake, Wis.
“Ayer’s Sarsaparilla gives the best satisfaction of any medicine I have ix stock. I recommend it, or, as the Doctors say, ‘I prescribe it over the counter.’ It never fails to meet the cases for which I recommend it, even where the doctors’ prescriptions have been of no avail.””—C. F. Calhoun, Moumouth, Kansas.

|poliuted with the products of such blind | wells and sinks. In orderto the maintain- | ing the health of the city fa any safe de- | gree, the surface must. be keptunbevken, and the ground air and ground water kept free from every possible source of contamina- tion. How, it may be asked, can those two factors, at considerable depths from the surface, though polluted, possibly affect the public health ?
Briefly and plainly thus : Owing to the slowness of the movements of ‘the ground water towards the lowest levels it does not carry off sufficiently rapid, the additional supplies received from sinks and wells and its level rises and falls according as the season is wet or dry, being regulated, gen- erally, by the amount of the ram fall, As soon, therefore, as this rising takes place | the poliuted waters are carried upwards | into the superincumbent strata, and with | it the ground air, which always follows the water movement, and this air, saturated with noxious gasses, finds its way into cel- lars, and from thence to the upper flats of dwellings—hence the great care that should be exercised to keep both the air and water of the soil free from pollution. Those who may not be disposed to credit these state- ments should ask themselves the question : If deep sinks and blind wells or surface drainage are safe conduits to carry off be- fouled water and other waste, why do cor- ' purations the world over, find it necessary to ‘expefid thousands and millions of dollars in ithe construction of various systems of sew-
erage / The answer is obvivus. The pol- ‘lution, by the former methods of soil and | water is recognized as the principal cause
of the excessive mortality wherever and iso long as it continues to exist. In your | well timed article already referred to, you called the attention of the health authori- ties tothe alarming prevalence of scarlet ‘fever in our midst. A few days agotwo : citizens happening to meet on the street, {one asked the other whose child had cen- pees the disease, to what cause so wide- ispread an epidemic could be attributed ¢ |The answer was at once as true as it was i laconic, viz: ** Filth.” | The Board of Health should take a note | of it and ask themselves whether they are {not largely responsible for this state of
things, and whether their culpable neglect | has not brought sorrow and death to many ‘a household. Have they, as the guardians ,of the public health, enforced the city ‘urdinances in the removal of every cause ‘which gives rise to proventable diseases ? Have they suspended the bye-law regulat- ing the keeping of swine in the city? Let their Sanitary Officer answer whether pigs are not now kept reeking in pestilential ‘filth within a radius of a few hundred yards \of the principal business parts of the city. Such a state of things is simply disgrace- ful, and the whole body of the citizens shou'd rise in arms tu prevent its cortinu- ance. For the health of the whole city depends upon the conditions of all its parts.
In looking over the Health Officer’s re- port I notive that the largest percentage of deaths is among children under five years, from diarrhoeal affections. These affections,
‘according to Dr. Ballard, who, for eight | years has been studying for the Govern- the city, on the St. Peter’s Road, and consist-| ment of Great Britain the causes of in- ing of Uwelling House, Farm Buildinzs and) 144 Acres of Land, nearly all clear, well! watered, and under a high state of cultivation. |
testinal diseases, and in the British Medical Journal he declares: ** The essential cause of diarrhoea resides, ordinarily, in the superficial layers of the earth, etc.” And again, upon the results of this inquiry, he suygests that the chief aim in prophylaxis is: ** To prevent fouling of the soil with matters out of which the material of diarrhoea can be produced ; to secure do- mestic cleanliness, dryness and cleanliness of soil, lowering of ground water, preven- tion of rise of ground air, the free move- ment of air, protection of food from infee- tion, due regulation of sewers, etc.”
The conclusions arrived at by so emin- ent an authority should incite our Board of Health to action and induce them to inves- tigate and correct (as you have already suggested) the many dangerous methods adupted by too many citizens in the dis- posal of sewage and other filth from their premises.
Should such an investigation be proceed- ed with, and the proper remedies applied, they would have, I venture to say, in many instances, to introduce, as into savage life, the rudiments of sanitary civilization.

Testing the Elixir of Life.
Dr. B. D. Harrison and Dr. William Richardsen, two’ leading physicians of Sault Ste. Marie, and Dr. J: er, leeturer on chemistry at the Kansas City medical school,
have been conducting mee tomes | ing and ap- parently valuable experiments with Doctor Browne-Sequard’s elixir. ‘Great care was taken in the selection of Manrbs ‘from which the glands are taken, and bivood of sperm..t.c veins was also used, and the whole was macerated in filtrated water,after which pancroblin a digestive fluid,was added. The addition of pancroblia to the so-called elixir has never before been “and was used to render assimilation of the elixir easier. Tests of fluid were made on Uncle Solomon Hay, aged 91, an inmate of the county-poor house, and on Thomas Moffatt, aged 76. Improvement in Moffatt’s lame- ness was marked. -He was stone blind, but after ky ic injection, claimed that he could distinguish light and darkness. Nei- ther of the men kuew anything of the elixir er why the injections were made. Uncle Solomon was entirely blind of one eye, and could distinguish only light and darkness with the other eye. He wad walked with crutches with extreme difficulty for years. Fifteen minutes after a hypodermic injec- tion of 30 drops of elixir, he declared t he could see, arose and walked to the win- dow without crutches, distinguished objects ut eoiaie Gietatel ae Pere? ugh his half - load of years isappeared. His pulse grew from 61 to 72, and grew much stronger. This was done one week ago. Both men are now as well as_ immediately after injection of the elixir, The insprove- ment on Uncle Solomon's condition is so marked that all who know him at first re- fused to credit the evidence of their eyes. The physicians who made the tests are well known in thecity and their standing . is above suspicion. Hundreds of inent residents of the Soo have investigated the case thoroughly, and are forced to admit that Dr. Brown-Sequard’s discovery has ap- parently wrought a miracle before their own eyes.
Baptist Convention.
Frepericron, Aug. 25.—The report of the committee on obituaries was read by Rev. F. H. Foshay, of Windsor, N.S.
The committee on nominations recom- mended the following officers, whose aom- inations were confirmed by the conference : E. D, King, M. A., Halifax, president; J. W. Spurden, Fredericton, vice-president; J. A. Gordon, A. M., Charlottetown, 2d vice-president; Prof. E. M. Keiratead, Acadia, secretary; Rev. G. R. White, Yar- mouth, assistrnt secretary; W. G. Clarke, Fredericton, treasurer.
Prof. H, C. Creed, the retiring presi- dent, then read his address, reviewing and criticising the work and duties of the Bap- tist church generally.
Rev. Dr. Sawyer submitted a report of the board of ministerial education. It showed that twenty-three young men hold- ing licenses had received assistance, and that more money is needed. Adopted.
[t was decided that Rev. F. D. Crawley preach the convention sermon next year, with Rev. J. A. Gordon alternate.
Rev. Dr. Higgins read the report of the governors of Acadia College. It spoke of the splendid work done, bat urged the need of more funds and further provisions to keep pace with the demands of the age.
The financial statement was submitted by the Rev. Dr. Day. It was laid on the table.
In the evening an educational meeting was held in the church.
The services on Sunday were largely at- tended. Baptist clergymen occupied most of the pulpits in the city and vicinity.

Careful Cullings.
Great men of action have been often marked by their silent ways. ‘‘The super- ior man,” says Confucius, ‘‘blushes for fear lest his words should exceed his deeds.”
The divinest tribute in the heart of man is love, and the mightiest, because the most human, principle in the heart of man is faith. Love is heaven; faith is that which appropriates heaven.
How to live in the world, pressed with its duties, burdened with its responsibili- ties, in daily contact with its people, and swept by its tides of feeling, without im- bibing its spirit and taking on its character, is at once difficult and important. The solution of this problem solves nearly all others in the practical Christian life.
It is no great matter to associate with the good and gentle; for this is naturally pleasing to all, aud everyoue willingly en- joys peace and loves those best who agree with him. But to be able to live peaceably with hard and perverse persons, or with the disorderly, or with sich as go contrary to us, is @ great grace and a most com- mendab'e and manly thing.
