appexdix. 181) roundings, we should prove it. With these facts established, as I am thoroughly' convinced they will be established, a movement could be put on foot to bring into Berkeley county in the next two years twenty thousand good, thrifty, intelligent, industrious farmers, who would produce vegetables enough to run a hundred canning factories; potatoes enough to run as many more starch factories. I have traveled the United States all over, have made an investigation of the matter, and believe there is no better soil and no better climate than we have here; and no better country' provided we can keep ghosts from appearing to us at every turn. Are we to continue to travel the road we are now on, which is a deplorable one indeed, or will we seek to leave it and take the road to prosperity and success? I for one have not the time or disposition to linger longer in the old one, but am determined to seek and find the new one. Who will go with me? A. S. EMERSON. chari.estox, January 29, 1895. [From Dr. Wilson.] Jordan, Clarendon County, February 11, 1895. To the Editor of the News and Courier:—I have read with a good deal of interest the discussion on Malaria or Malaqua," and will give you the benefit of my experience the past summer and fall. My work is on the Sautee, and I had a great deal of intermittents. I found that when I required my patients to boil the water they drank I relieved them promptly- of chills ; otherwise the cases were extremely obstinate. The excessive rains caused large quantities of water to lie on the low places. I drank water from a well and continued to have the chills in spite of the most powerful anti-malarial remedies known to materia medica. I drove a pump and stopped all medicines and had no more chills. This naturally makes me a strong advocate of the water theory. Yours respectfull}', H. L. WILSON, M. D. No comment (says the editor) that we could make w^ould add to the force of this testimony. Dr. Wilson, it is seen, goes farther than an}- one else who has testified on the subject, in that he testifies that he has aired chills in his own case by simply substituting good water for bad. He drank surface water, and took the most powerful anti-malarial remedies known, and " continued to have chills." He drove a pump,'* '^stopped all medicine," and "had uo more chills." It would be hard to put evidence and argument in any stronger form than that.
