Описание: Excerpt from Johnstown, Its Growth and Sanitary Needs: An Address Delivered Before the Cambria Scientific Institute, March 26, 1881

The mountainous situation of with its pure water and freedom from malari ai swamps, entitles it to rank as a good type of a salubrious locality. But it is a well-known fact that man, by his own works, not only changes the face of nature, but modifies cli mate and her normal hygiene. The aggrega tion of many people in a confined space for E any purpose is abnormal and sets up artificial conditions which invariably deteriorate its sw lubrity, and unless timely precautions are taken to preserve health by wise sanitary reg. Ulations faithfully enforced, fatal maladies will ensue. Naturally you have a most healthful climate, and are so situated topographically that by timely foresight and at comparatively small cost, you can at all times preserve the best of sanitary surroundings.

Has it ever occurred to you that to maintain anywhere a town of considerable population in a healthy condition, requires a knowledge of what vitiates salubrity and a systematic and persistent effort to prevent and correct unwholesome conditions. If any person pres ent were to ask himself whether there was anything about his own home and premises that was offensive or injurious to health, he would doubtless answer no. But many of you would have suspicions or impressions that of fensive odors, and conditions very disagreeable if not amounting to actual nuisances deliteri ous to health, existed in other parts of the town. Would any of you be prepared to say that there are not many neglected places, stag nant pools, unclean outhouses, stables, pig pens, and slaughter-houses, in conditions dan gerous to health, which your medical men have occasionally hinted at, if not publicly spoken of, as offensive and requiring attention. In answers and views obtained in this way there are several factors which prompt the re plies.
