Prior to 1883 my family used water from an open well in my yard, which was carefully looked after, and was certainly equal to any other in the community. In 1883 I built a cistern, and we have constantly used water from it since, and I am satisfied that sickness in my family has been reduced one-half. There is no other cause for it known to me except the change in water. Malarial sickness with us now is rare. My neighbors who have used cistern water have, I believe, had a like experience. Cisterns have largely increased in our town, and the health of our people correspondingly improved. ]Many of our people use driven wells, which are also beneficial, though not as much ho, I think, as cisterns. The pipe is small and largely excludes surface water." Mr. L J/.
