APPENDIX. 95 demanding quinine. For several years we have had less of malarial disease and more of typhoid, though the typhoid fever of the east does not seem to prevail so extensively as it does in the west, and is of a milder and less fatal form. It deserves to be remembered that in our eastern counties and towns we sometimes have, in the same case of sickness, two different poisons and causes of disease operating at the same time. In all such cases this coexistence seems to modify the action of each, produces a milder type of fever and a variety of treatment to correspond with the periodicity and other characteristics of each particular case. And now let us briefly apply tlie statements, views and reasoning of this paper to the great practical and important question of the health and resources of health of eastern North Carolina. Looking, in the first place, at the malarious localities of the east, w^e find that malaria has been steadily but surely giving up its intrenchrnents and strongholds for a number of years under the influence of drainage and other sanitary measures. With this disappearance of malaria and of the causes of typhoid fever as well, under the operation of preventable and removable means antagonistic and destructive, too, of typhoid poison, there has been gradually going on in the east less and less of malarial and typhoid fever. So that, in relation to these diseases alone, the public health in eastern North Carolina has greatly improved and is steadily improving With the system of sanitation now at work in all our eastern towns, counties and cities, there is every reason to believe that the whole family of malarious and typhoid fevers will steadily decrease and will be eventually unknown. But be it remembered that a very large portion of the east abounds in pine trees and is covered by the piney belts, that are remarkably exempt from disease. The piney sections embrace a large portion of the east from the coast to near Raleigh and Fayetteville, and higher up, and from Virginia to South Carolina. Within this vast area of piney land it is
