Health °Meer's Report
The following report of the Medico.
Health Officer was submitted to thl
Town Council on Monday evening t-
GENTLEarm.-I beg to submit the
following report of the Board of Health
for the year 1900. This has been an
eventful year from a sanitary stand-
point, owing to the long-aclyocated. '
roduction of the dry earth System of
closets, and I am pleased to report that
almost all have cheerfully conformed
to the by-law, with the result that the
new system has given splendid satis-
faction, and 1 feel assured that next
year there will be not a single pit in
the town. Ali has been done without
one case of•litigation. 1Ve ask all the
citizens to co-operate in making the I
change a decided success. We ask all
to use more dry dust or coal ashes, and
thus get the full benefits of the system.
There has been more typhoid fever this
year than for the •last ten years cow- !
bined, but just what might be expected
when we consider the season and water
supply. I haye made about 128 exam-
inations of water, and not a single one,
including the artesian wells, passed '
good, safe drinking water. There is a
decree of immunity from a long and
constant use of water, which is not
possessed by those imbibing for till
first time, accounting for fewer cases I
than there might have been. Other ;
sources were blocked drains, had sinks,
UDC eatied cisterns, and one plaice
where four cases resulted from a, dirty
closet in the house. I am sorry to re-
port that tuberculosis is still on the in-
crease. If the citizens would practice
and advocate preventative measures
more that curative ones, much more /
would be accomplished, such as pure
1air day and night, asleep or awake ;
, plenty of sunlight, proper clothing,
proper food well cooked, pure milk
and the essentials first and last build
up the health of those exposed to in-
fectiqn or having a tendency. This
year's ice supply was the worst for .
years. The butchers, confectioners
and hotels do not exeids& the precau-
tions necessary in placing their sup-
plies, They do not pay enough atten-
tion to the source. There have been a
great number of complaints about the
disposal of the night soil and garbage. •
all having good foundation. I would
again recommend the purchase of suf-
ficient land, in a suitable locality, for a
dumping ground. Cases of typhoid
fever, 20 ; cases of scarlet fever, 3 ;
deaths. 3i -or 14 per 1000 ; 'births, 47-
19 per 1000. All of which is respect-
fully submitted. • Truly yours,

.A,mong. the Lepers
•
Mrs. Watt, Of Guelph, delivered an
address in Willis church on Wednes-
day evening, on •Leper Wagons, and
the folio ving is a short summary of
her address.:
The leper missions are undenomintv
tional. 31r, Anderson, who left G uelPh
to twig the lepers, is a practical, tal-
ented business man. Some time ago
he sent word to the headoffice saying
they badly needed a hspital' and dis-
pensary, which would' cost t 200. In
this work prayer is thekeystone-it is
steeped .and cradled in prayer -and
Mr. Anderson's • letter • was made the
object of earnest, intelligent prayer.
On the very same day. came it letter
from the lady. who had started that
very asylum, offering the Money nec-
essary for the work, which she had
thought was necessary, Vcitliontknow-s
fog of Mr. Anderson's letter. "13efore
they call 1 will snswer." Mr. Ander-
was a chartered aremintant, and a,
thorough business inan, tholigh only
thirty years of age, and entered the
• work -contrary to the Wishes of his
friends. A year ago on Nov. 9 he ar-
rived in Bombay, with no knowledge
ofthe language. Now he shas charge
of the whole hospital of 500 lepers. and I
irtati COIld it Shit ICe Ili their language,
which is very diffieult. 'There is nOta
white person, . or me who can streak
English, . for hundreds of miles. The,
lepers, if there isam room for them,
• are never turned away erripty; but if.
nothing can be clone for thew, are
given rice, . etc.. • Nobody in India,

(From the Sun)
Hoos.-Peactically no change is re-
ported inhogprices this week,although
packers all say that the market is ex-
cited. and almost anything may hap-
pen. One faot that has been demon-
stratedby the high prices prevailing
is that hogs- are not so scarce in the
country, as the short shipments of a
week. or two ago indicated The Wm.
Davies Co., quote hogs this week at
average shipping points in Oritario at
$0,15 to $6 40 fed and watered in Tor
onto, and $6.65 off cars in Toronto.
Honsrc MARKET. -Burns and Shep
pard at theRepository reported a very
good sale of horses on Friday, but
horses are cheap in Toronto. Dealers
state they can buy cheaper in the city
than in the country. It is considered
that horses have dropped $20 per head
in price during the last naonth.
SHEEP -There were 1,325 sheep and
lambs offered at the Toronto market
to -day. Prices were from $4.00 to
04.15 for sheep, a few bringing $4.90.
Latnbs were worth from $5 to $0,
Pottrauv. - M. P. Mallon expects
there will be plenty of poultry of all
kinds for Christmastracle exceptgeese,
which may be scarce. There are, he
says, plenty of turkeys in the country,
as the crop has been good, and the ex-
ports this year not so great Re other
years. Gunns also report the supply
of turkeys sufficient,in the absence of
export trade, for home needs. Mallon
quotes live fowl at 50, chickens 80,
ducks, 8, geese 13c, turkeys lie Drss,
ed fowl be quotes at 70, chickens 10c,
ducks 10c, geese 9e, turkeys 13e.
CA•rmg.-The cold snap seems to
have put an edge on the cattre market.
It is a Net that while prices
show bo materiel advance, business in
tattle is brisker in Toronto than it hes
been for some time. At Toronto to-
day choice exporters brought $4.50
$4.66, medium $4.25 $ 40, heavy ex-
port bulls $3,54 to $3 76 and light VI 25
to $3,50. Good butchers' cattle were
worth $4,25 to $4410, and medium $3,75
