' Joiwr Obb A Co., The portable Swing "Water Barrow. Prevention is Better Than Cure fpHE few cases of Typhoid m Ashbnrton Borough and Suburbs afford no JL ground for a " scare," but it is only by using rewontble precautions that the dreßd scourge can be kept within bounds. In view of the subject . being referred to m tbejrablic journals, it may be of service to reprint an extract from an issue of the " Nineteenth Century " of list year, m which special reference is made to Diphtheria, but which applies with equal force to Typhoid. The writer remarks, that the latest epidemics m Russia swept away nearly fill the children m some villages ; and m Prussia, no less than one-sixth to one-fourth part of all children dying m the age of from one to five 3 ears suc- cumbed to Diphtheria, and. the same proportion prevailed m Western Europe \ as well. Keen inter, st is being taken m the experiments of the French i Doctor?, Roux and Tersen ; but Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria, and other kindred complaints is due to »n infection of the body by ppecial bacteria, caused by ttie^ effluvia rfeing from drains, back yards and premises generally, into and u|)on which dairy and kitchen 6lops have been thrown. Without an infection by bacteria or vhe poisons which they secrete, there is no diphtheria. The Portable Wash Barrow is just the one , thing indispensable m the direction of perfect sanitary arrangements. By its use, a two-fold benefit is derived. The fever ard diphtheria breeding agencies are removed, and what is otherwise a source of terror becomes *n absolute 1 gainj by conveying the wash to pig trough or to the garden. The Portable Barrows can be put to various kir.ds of use, and they are so admirably con- structed that, with them, a child can. do work which otherwise requires the • strength of mature years. The cost is comparatively small. Possession of 1 one becomes an absolute means of sweetness, comfort and profit, ' — (0) — Improved Copper Boilers. 1 have just received direct from the manufacturers a fresh supply of Portable Ccpper Boilers, with patent smoke stack joint, and Semi-double sheeted frame — galvanised.
