appexdix. 181) have bad no malaria or chills in our family. I think the driven pump excellent for health in this malarial section." Mr. Timothy Morgan^ Hertford, Perquimans county: ''"When driven pumps were first introduced into this section they proved a perfect failure, because no one thought of driving more than ten feet, and seldom that far. ()f course that gave us the same water that our wells afforded, and, l)esides, the excavation made at the bottom of the pipe was constantly caving in and keeping water always muddy. I had always used well or spring water up to that time, and while I was very anxious to have a pump I saw no improvement save convenience. I therefore continued to use well water. I do not remember the exact time when I had my pump driven, nor could I give you any definite figure as to doctors' bills up to purchase of pump, but this I do know, that since I have been using it we have had little or no malarial sickness, and we prefer the water to any attainable here. I think I have been using pump about eight years. It is forty-seven feet deep. I would not be without it for ten times its cost." Mr. M. H. Wldtey Ilertfordy Perquimans county: ''In my opinion the driven wells have done more to benefit the health of this community than anything I have ever known." Mr. George D. Xewhy^ Hertford, Perquimans connty: " We have been using the driven wells about eight years, and think they have improved the Ihealth of this place (Hertford) at least 50 per cent. Before that time we used wells about eight or ten feet deep." Mr. L. W. McMuUan, Hertford, Perquimans county: " From 1865 to 1884 I used water from surface wells from nine to twelve feet deep. My doctor's bill for that period averaged $100 per annum, mostly for malarial diseases. Since 1884 I have been using water from driven pump—forty-five feet deep—and during the ten years my doctor's bill has been less than 820 average per annum, and very little of that amount has been on account of sickness from malarial causes. It is exceedingly rare that any of my family (wife and four children) have had chills and fever since 1884. Before that time every member of the family had chills and fever often. I believe our improved health is due entirely to purer water." Mr. Joseph White, Winfall, Perquimans county: "We have used the driven well or pump in our town for five years, and since its use have realized a great improvement in the health of our town. I remember the year before I began the use of water from the pump, which is seventy-three feet deep, my doctor's bill was $100; since then, for four years, my medical bills have averaged from $15 to $20 per
