- Sewer Gas Poison
Sewer Gas Poison. — it had obviously absorbed sewer gas, which it ascended through the overflow pipe, and that this had been the real cause of the disease was indicated by the fact that the diarrhea disappeared almost as rapidly as it had broken out, when the cistern was emptied and the pipe efficiently trapped.
Diarrhea in Country Districts. — Dr. Wilson declares that, according to his experience, much of the diarrhea which prevails in country districts during the summer and autumn amongst children is due to polluted water, drunk either as it is drawn from the well or when mixed with milk, fraudulently or by accident.
I combined these two sections as they are both relatively short and again lend to my hypothesis that the author was paid for not only word count, but important (and unnecessary ) ‘important’ section count. Now , that said, I find this interesting also from the perspective that I myself in doing home improvement projects from installing PVC pipe, toilets and bathroom faucets and systems, I have worked through problems and with plumbing systems that benefited from this knowledge. Although when I was taught how to install pipes and instructed in things about sewer gases and vents I was led to believe that these things were done primarily to help with the pressure and dynamics of making things flush and the possibility of what the gas might do in and of itself didn’t really come up, and was treated almost like something that was obvious.
- THE PUBLIC TOWEL.
THE PUBLIC TOWEL.
The towels in toilets, bedrooms of hotels and boarding houses can spread disease unless they are thoroughly boiled and laundered after use, Most hotels, railroad stations, Pullman cars, etc., have done away with the public towels in toilets and use a heavy tissue paper, either as a single towel or in rolls and torn off as needed, which is not expensive and is thrown away after use.
In Pennsylvania the State Board of Health has urged saloonkeepers, etc., to do away with the forks and spoons which are placed in a tumbler of water and are used by all comers at the free lunch counter and then replaced in the tumbler of dirty water for the next victim to use.
Disease can be controlled better when our proprietors of saloons, restaurants, hotels, soda fountains, etc., employ only healthy employees, free from disease and take pains to boil or scald every public glass and chinaware used by not only dirty, but disease-spreading persons. The barroom towel which hangs in front of the bar in the cheaper saloons for customers to wipe their mouth and hands upon, must not be permitted.
Maybe in a few years, we will even have our own personal lighting systems or lasik eye procedures that install night vision and public outdoor lighting will become a thing of the past.
- Plastic Surgery 101
A
I am positive that people were concerned about their looks a hundred years ago. There were all sorts of different products designed to captivate people’s attention and change their parents for the better, from her tonics beauty cream’s and many other concoctions.
Back then people don’t have the benefit of a strong FDA. In fact truth in advertising laws were just in their infancy and starting to take hold.
Today we have the ability to change our appearance dramatically and drastically. Modern medicine has evolved to the point that we have the ability to completely change and improve our parents.
To give you a good example you can take a look at plastic surgery 101, a website that provides a great deal of information about plastic surgery options and separates out some of the myths about plastic surgery from the reality. In that regard medicine hasn’t changed great deal from a cultural perspective. Your everyday person still has a number of misconceptions about medicine and how it can be utilized, and medical professionals are still trying to help people sift through the differences between fact and fantasy.
The same website also offers a number of details on rhinoplasty, a procedure commonly referred to as a “nose job.” The site breaks down the distinction between a Beverly Hills rhinoplasty surgical procedure sometimes used for cosmetic purposes and sometimes used for reconstructive purposes. The procedure is common enough today regardless of the purpose. In fact I know several people that have had the procedure done for both reasons. I’ve even had to family members of had rhinoplasty following procedures to correct deficiencies in their nasal passages.
The reality is that there are plastic surgeons in very good plastic surgeons all over the world these days. Some of the earliest and best set of practices creating an industry of Los Angeles plastic surgery, but that industry has grown across the country and is beginning to grow around the world.
These concepts will have been completely foreign 90 years ago in execution, but in concept and desire the human condition has not changed at all in 90 years just our ability to achieve our hearts desire.
