(TO THE EDITOR 01' THB DUKSTAN TIMES.) Sir, —Now that typhoid fever is an annual recurrent in our next township, do you not think that both the Council and the inhabitants of Clydo'might do a little more to prevent its permanent abodo here. Soma of the dunghills havo been removed lately, and that is all that has been dono. la it absolutely necessary that pigs should be kept in the Town ? I kuow one instance at least in which the beast is si stied in a corner that it is absolutely concealed, and this eloae to dwellings. These pigs must be got rid of. Why do not our housewives bum their refuse? Bones, old \ boots, and such like make a fierce heat, and should never be allowed to lio about.
Lctlovery person sprinkle a little chloride of lime or one of the other disinfectants fairly over the contents of their closets every second or third day. By the way, it would be a ’curious inquiry, what becomes of the contents of the closets. They are never carted away—there is no vehicle known to exist ’for that purpose, and no place to cart it to. Seeing that typhoid fever is also called cesspool fever, would it be too much to expect the Council at the least to provide a night-cart for use by the inhabitants under proper regulations.asjtojcarc. &o.
