The wells are mostly bored or otherwise protected from the surface water. Since the toAvn has been drained in the last twelve or fifteen years I su]ipose that we have as little malarial trouble as any section of North Carolina; and I attribute its exemption from malarial disease to cistern water, bored wells, and wells protected from the surface water."

I)i\ Tliomoi^ M, White, Belvidere, Perquimans county: "I am interested in the subject of which you write. The inhabitants of this little village abandoned their wells as the principal source of drinking water about ten years ago. The health of the inhabitants has materially improved since they liave been using cistern water. If there was no other source from which they could get water the results would be more perfect, and I am sure better." Dr. George N.

Staton, Tarhoro, Edgecombe county: " ]My attention has for years been in the direction of the supply of drinking water. A few years ago I came in possession of a farm with a mill-pond on it, and with the reputation usual to such localities of being very unhealthy. After owning it for a year I found that malaria abounded. I had all the open wells filled, and, there being several good s])rings on the place, the filling of the wells necessitated the use of the spring water. The malarial diseases were very much lessened, and continued to grow less from year to year, until the miller re-opened a well for his own convenience, but against orders, and but a short time after his very large family was sick from malaria. Upon refilling the well the malaria soon disappeared. "In building a cotton oil mill on the place, so much impressed were the proprietors with the danger of malaria from open wells that a cistern was built. It has been my universal advice in practice to suggest a cistern, and next to that a driven pipe; and in all cases where the cistern has been built and kept in proper condition the malarial troubles have been greatly reduced, and, in some instances, entirely disappeared.
