M. Kibler, at a meeting of the pic association on the 19th of this pnth and is published because it con* ,iiia ma.ay tilings tnat all of us should kow and act upon. Especial attenpn of tie city authorities is called to une things to whic. Dr. Kibler rers, and which they could easily rem fH&y. It is a practical paper ana is xpressed in plain terms, so that the pyman as well as the technical man Btnay be able to understand. 9 I Lave been asked to speak to you on the health of our community and its most imperative needs. A community is a collection of peo BSp pie in a given territory or in a speciK fied locality, bound togethe- for the W common interest of all and the mutual V welfare and protection of each one. H Self-preservation or self-protection is the first law of nature, and what is I true of an individual is equally true of W a community, or a collection of indif| viduals. S In order to enjoy the blessings of 1 self-preservation, one can not wait unV til his safety is in peril; but rather in tfte time of apparent security iv it ? - - 1-Viq ovilc that wise lO piepa.it? o^oiuui tut w?. I may unexpectedly befall him. In the affairs of state the wise leader will advise against war by preparing for it in time of peace. This is equally true in all social and economic questions; and is pre-eminently true in the question of public health. ? - * - X _ u ~ Xo one deliberately cnooses 10 ue sick any more tban he would choose to receive a personal injury. If there were danger of bodily harm to an individual or community threatened by some enemy, self-protection would be the first instinct of nature to assert itself, and resistance, or at least an effort at self-preservation, and selfprotection against a known and visible foe, would be immediately manifest. Men would be willing to offer their lives in the defense of their homes, and spend largely of their material wealth in the checking of an invasion. When it can be successfully shown to the mind of the average citizen that ' ? v ?

Come! r ivr L lf& of all human suffering is caused preventable diseases. These diseases are caused by th respective germs, and scientific me cine has studied fc:eir cause, nati and prevention, and nothing rema: to be done but the public execution this knowledge. Pasteur has said, is in the power of man to cause germ disease to disappear from i world." Disease is a common foe to man, a tho inriiviriiialc nf verv community ? equally susceptible to its influenc and only tie physically strong can any way resist and the weak read succum'b to it. Public health and how to protect a preserve it should be the watchwc of every one. Those things tfoat cause or tend produce impaired health in a commu ty are derived from one or more the following sources: Impure drii ing water or ice, impure milk, fre meats or vegetables and fruits, impi fish; improper and unsanitary se erage and plumbing; impure surfs closets or Drivies; lack of precauti in contagious and infectious disease the improper disposition of garbage premises and the public streets; t ignorance or indifference of the pub in preventing the development a multiplication of flies, mosquitoes a ! ot:er insects that act as common c; riers of disease; the neglect of scree ing homes, markets and green g: ceries against such insects, and la but by no means toe least, is the s need of public play grounds for t children and a park or parks for \ ' outdoor recreation and exercise a amusement of all, and the medical spection of school children and bui ; ings. j The sanitary ordinances of our to , should be revised. The commissior I of health should be a physician w gives his whole time to the duties his office. We should have a cent: sanitary abattoir, to which place animals intended to be sold at 1 ! markets should be carried for inspi | tion and slaughter, and sanitary har I ling of the meat. The dairies should be regularly spected and the milk as sold to 1 citizens examined when deemed adv able. All markets and green grocer should be screened against flies a dust. None but a licensed plumber sfcoi i be allowed to do plumbing in < i town. NEW ARRIV. I 16 f"lv f A1 : us in the front as the me less. Look hack a few years at ; of MimnaugKs business.

It is due to gross Wi LI fcg 1 tJCl CLll u ct ujuunuuc \/i he Contagion is not a necessary evil, but!
