212 ap1>endix. year, and but little of this expense accrued from malarial influence. I feel confident my pump—the use of its water—has saved me $150 in the last four years. All the doctors heartily recommend them." Mr, Henry S\ Bann, Doehead, Edgecombe county: " 1 have lived at my present home about twenty years, drinking water from a connnon well curbed with cypress gum to the depth of eighteen or twenty feet. This being a malarial country, chills were no strangers to us; but last winter and spring they came with unusual frequency and severity. I became suspicious of my well, and on June 8th last I put down a common iron pump, and since that time don't think we have had a regular malarial chill. Certain it is that there has been not to exceed forty grains of quinine taken by us from June 8th to date (August 26th), but for five months prior to that time we used one ounce of quinine a week. I think the change entirely due to the healthfulness of the water. The pump is invaluable in this section." Mr. S\ E, Thrower, Melrose, Robeson county : ''I have been here about twelve years, and had a well that I thought was good water, and my doctor's bill ranged from $10 to $25 every year. Our family doctor said the water was not good. I thought he was mistaken, but he told me to get a pump. I got one and drove it down thirteen years ago, and have not had a doctor since for malarial poison. I think a pump is the greatest thing on earth. Dr. W. J. Gilbert is the man that recommended the pump." Mr. C\ Holland, Maxton^ llkhmond County: Your circular-letter of August 1st received. I have been in the pump business here for eight years. Before the people began using pumps there was a great deal of chill and fever, but now since their introduction we rarely ever have a case of chill and fever. Dr. McXatt told me some time ago that in a section of country between here and Lumberton,, where they had so much malaria several years ago, he rarely ever has a case, and he says he has no doubt it is the use of pumps that has caused the improvement in the health of this section. The doctors in this section all recommend pumps in preference to open wells." FROM PHYSICIANS—UNFAVORABLE. Dr. J. E. Miller, Superintendent Eastern Hospital, Goldsboro, X. C.: in common with many physicians, have held to your theory on the water question; but recently some experiences have upset or rather disagreed with my theory. For a year we have had a great deal of malarial fever, mostly of intermittent and remittent types, and I find those who use cistern water suffer about as much as those who drink well water. Our wells are, however, driven wells and not dug-out wells. Our well water
