FERRTMAP The Portable Water Barrow., The latest number of the Nineteenth Century has an interesting article upon the dread scourge of DIPHTHERIA, and, in introducing the subject, the writer remarks, that the latest epidemics in Kusiia swept away nearly all the children in some villages; and, in Prussia, no less than one sixth to one-fourth part of all children dying in the age of from one to five years succumbed to Diphtheria, and the same proportion prevailed in Western Europe as well. Keen interest is being taken in the experiments of the French Doctors, ROUX and Tebsen ; but Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Cholera,Typhoid,Malaria and other kindred complaints is due to an infection of the body by special bacteria, caused by the effluvia rising from drains, back yards and premises generally into and upon which dairy and kitchen slopshave been thrown. Without an infection by Bacteria or the poison* which they secrete, there is nodiphtheria. The Portablb Wash Barrow is just the one thing indispensable in the direction of perfect sanitary, arrangements. By its use, a two-fold benefit is derived. The fever and diphtheria breeding agencies are removed, and what ia otherwise • source of terror becomes an absolute gain, by conveying the wash to the pig trough or to the garden. The Portable Barrows can be put to various kindi of use, and they are so admirably constructed that, with them, a child can do work which otherwise requires the strength of mature years. The cost is comparatively small. Possession of one becomes an absolute means of sweetness, comfort and profit. IMPROVED COPPER BOILERS. I have just received direct from the manufacturers a supply of Portable Copper Eoilbrs, with Patent Brooke Sack Joint, and Semi double Bheeted Frame—Galvanised.
