APPENDIX. 99 under which we have rested so long, lie was not prepared to indorse what the doctor said in regard to diphtheria. He does not fully understand the nature of the disease nor what causes it. He does know that in certain regions where there was no manner of filth, where everything was as clean as possible, and the water })erfectly ))ure, and the air was filled with the peri'unie of the pine, he has seen eome of the worst cases of diphtheria he ever encountered He has never been able to sati^fv himself that it is a filth disease; as other diseases, it is possibly intensified by the surroundings as found in large cities. Dr. Potter thought he ct»uld give some practical demonstrations of thehcallhfulness of the pine forest. Anterior to the late war the farmers living near the watercourses were in the habit of moving up inio the higher pine regions on the approach of summer, and they rarely suffered from malaria. He cited the case of a man who thought he might do just as well if he remained in his winter home in the lowlands. He tried it for two summers, and during those two years lost three of his family. He thought we seldom have a genuine case of typhoid fever. He has seen diphtheria in the highest pine regions where he could see no cause for it, but where the disease seemed almost to originate de liovo. He mentioned an epidemic that started in the barracks in a small town where he was in charge as surgeon. On searching for the cause he found under one of the platforms connected with the building a reeking cess-pool. As soon as this was cleaned there were no more cases of the disease. Tnis outbreak seemed to have a cause in this cesspool.
