rm^Healthftilnessof Brunswick, by the purifying influences of thor- 1 ough elennsing and fumigating, we Mr. Editor .—-At your request I ff ill endeavor to write you a short ar- In<r too mnoh and thus oooopying too much of your space in addition to wearying the attention 1 of your readers, I am aware is a verv difficult matter. A popular fallacy has gone abroad, not alone in other states but even in our own State of ,Q( r — r that Brunswick is unhealthy an it is not safe for unacclimated persons to come here during the summer months.! This belief has arisen from the fact that we have Iwdone epidem ic of yellow fever. That wh have had one epidemic is certainly a misfortune, but tna$ we have bad but one in all the years since Brunswick has been an incorporated city, and with vessels from all parts of the world constantly coming into this harbor, shows very forcibly in favor of the general health- fulness of the place and to the. small liability to the spread of epidemic and contagious diseases. A glance at the map will show that the city of Brunswick is situated opoD a peninsula, that it is almost entirely surrounded by salt water and that there ore no fresh water streams or swamps within t welvo miles of the city, This is positive eviden6e*of the free dom of this city from malurions in fluences wbiol). affect post localities in warm climittes, ind of the f atmos phere which is being constantly changed and renewed by the delight ful and health-giving sea. breeze. This advantage of location combined with thorough dr*hNp, and.fWfrli} ness has rendered Brunswick one o' the healthiest cities in the Union Au active practice of my profession running through a period of twenty years certainly sbohld enable me to speak with authority. Hence, I un hesitatingly assert that the health of Brunswick wfll compare very favora bly with any other place with the same diversity of population and within the same latitude. There are many places within'tho United States, noted ns health resorts, which are far more subject to serious diseases. The population of Brunswick is very near ly equally divided between the white need never fear a repetition ol ... overwhelming disaster of 1876. Peo- >le abroad may rely upon it that Jranswick is” now in a healthy con dition and every effort is being made to preserve health. And that, so far a6 disease is concerned, they are free to oome and reside here in safety at all seasons of the year.

Where is thou another sen port city ar even an interior city, which can jxhioit a better record for healthfnl- ness than this? In other cities situa ted upon or near fresh water rivers, it is impossible for seaman to sleep on board of their vessels becanso of the danger of death from malarial causes, and owners of vessels incur the expense of boarding their crews ou shore rather than run so great a risk, whilst in this port seamen sleep ou board of their ships with perfect : mpunity during the entire year.
