148 NORTH CAROLINA BOARD OF HEALTH. lack those qualities to any appreciable extent they are worthless. The practical question is, how can they be obtained? The answer is, from the cities and towns. While such statistics would not be as valuable as those collected from the whole State, it is the best that can Vje done, and they would furnish excellent samjiles of the health conditions in the different sections of the State and an admirable basis for comparison with similar communities in other States and countries. But even in cities and towns it is no easy matter to secure full and reliable mortuary statistics. It cannot be done, in the opinion of the writer, excejit under the strict and vigilant enforcement of a stringent ordinance imposing a decided penalty for the burial or removal from the corporate limits of a dead body except upon a burial permit issued by a designated official, based upon a death certificate, giving, chief among other things, the cause of death, signed by the attending physician, or, in cases where there was no attending physician, by the nearest friend, and sworn to by him before a magistrate. The authorities should impress this ordinance particularly upon the undertakers in such a manner as to effectually prevent their undertaking the preparations for burial until the burial permit is produced. Something less than a year ago we sent to every town in the State having five hundred or more inhabitants, and to all county-seats of less population, a model ordinance, with sample blanks, in which the regulations suggested above were set forth, in the hope that it might be generally adopted and mortuary statistics collected in every place on the same plan. While only two towns have formally adopted the ordinance as a whole, a number have it essentially, and the statistics sent in we believe to be generally reliable. But we cannot help feeling when we note a death-rate very much smaller in one town than in another of about the same sanitary conditions that the former either has an imperfect ordinance or does not enforce a good one. We are not willing to admit, of course, that any municipality would deliberately "fudge," as we used to say in marbles, on its sisters We have brought forward this subject because of its importance and in the hope that those of our readers living in cities and towns will interest themselves in the matter sufficiently to inquire as to the ordinance on the subject and as to the enforcement of the same. The display of such an interest on the part of the medical men of any city or town would surely have its effect upon the authorities and make for the perfecting of the returns. MALARIA AND DRINKING WATER. If we have a sanitary "fad" it is the influence of the drinking water in the production of malarial diseases. It has always possessed a peculiar interest for us, originated possibly by the plasmodia imbibed in
