EVENING STAR. CROSBY 8S. Ni EB... Largest Circulation in the District WASHINGTON CITY; larch 2, 1874. The Influence of Altitude on Health and Disease. ‘The various treatises by Dr. J. M. Toner, of this city, upon matters of Social Science, have attracted attention and have resulted in several instances in setting on foot very valuable re- forms. One of the plans of an important san‘- tary and humanitarian nature broached by him has been that of establishing sanitariums on elevated grounds for the use of sick children in the hot season, a time of the year when the lit- tle ones are swept off by thousands by cholera | infantum and like diseases in our crowded cities of low temperature. He urges with force that our entire thought should not be expended upon the mere wrecks of humanity cared for in our hospitals, but should be directed also to the myriads ef young lives now sacrificed annually to disease, but who might be saved to fill careers Of usefulness in the world. ‘The latest work by Dr. Toner, and somewhat in the same connection, is a “Dictionary of Elevations, and Climatic Kegister of the United States,” containing. in addition to elevations, the latitude, mean annual temperature, and the total annual rain fall of all the cities, towns and localities in the United States, concerning which the requisite data has been obtainable. The orographic and other physical peculiari- tiesof North America, and more briefly of the world, have also been noted with the care and industry for which the author is distinguished, and altogether the work supplies an amount and kind of information that makes it uni que in the field oceupied. The work, he Says, has been undertaken chiefly for the purpose of placing within reach of the medical profession @ record that may enable and induce profes- sional men in different localities to observe, re- cord, and contrast the iniluence of elevation, if it has any, on health and disease. Hitherto latitude and longitude have been the chief and almost the only conditions modifying climate, that have been taken into account in eonsider- ing the influences of localities on health; but the observations of physicians and travelers Present facts suggesting that altitude to some extent controls the type of diseases. Of course it is necessary for the observer to keep in view the influences not only of latitude and longt- tude, but aleo of a dry or a humid atmosphere, and of a high or alow barometer. The Dic- | tionary points out convenient modes of taking observations by those feeling an interest in the subject. Heights of localities may be deter- mined approximately with the aid of = barom- eter, as the mercury falis in it about one inch for every nine hundred and torty feet of eleva- tion above the level of the sea; or by bolling water, which at sea level boils at 212°, bat Owing to the lessened weight of atmosphere in ascending, boils at the rate of one degree less for every 4°0 feet of perpendicular ascent. The thermometer, too, registers in almost any lo- Cality one degree lower temperature for about 300 feet of perpendicular height above the level of the sea. These conditions or laws of the Ocean of atmosphere in which we live, and which has a depth estimated at 45 miles, and weight of 15 pounds to the square inch, are nearly constant, and with the well-known purity of the free circulating air and the great abundance of electricity and ozone, which con- stantly pervades elevated localities, are ele- ments too potent not to exercise an important influence on man’s well being. All the data obtainable, points to the fact that aresidence in & moderately elevated region, either in the tropical or temperate zone, anywhere between 8 few hundred feet above the level of the sea, and a line that marks Alpine vegetation, 13 healthier than the tide-water lands. It 1s in this intermediate strata of climatic and barom- €tic influence that the human race attains its noblest physical development. The most pro- ductive States of our Union, with the largest Population and with the greatest aggregate wealth, are to be found among those having an average elevation above the sea of from 400 ty 1,000 feet. The pursuits of commerce have however, caused most of our large cities to be placed on low ground, near navigable waters. The table of 311 towns in this Dictionary show that the majority of the denizens of our large American cities are living atan elevation of but a few hundred feet above tide water; and that there are eighty cities situated at an eleva- tion of less than one hundred feet above sea Jevel, with a combined population of 4,868,107 ot appear that the site of a single city im the United States has been selected because Of the special salubrity of the locality. In a hygienic sense it is to be regretted that the larger commercial cities do not occupy more elevated sites. There isa noticeable peculiarity im the location of our A merican cities, at or near the mouth of rivers emptying into the Atlantic ocean, in the fact that they are all situated on peog left bank; and, further, there is scarcely an exception to the fact that to the south of all these cities there are large marshy flats, over which the prevailing winds blow, and carry the miaem directly across the cities. Dr. Toner seems modestly disposed to present the data for investigation by others, rather than to give bis own conclusions in regard to the effect of elevation upon different diseases, but he notes in brief terms the fact that yellow fever has perhaps never reached higher eleva- tion in the United States than four hundred and sixty feet, and rarely above Vicksburg (175) and Memphis, (262.) The same is the fact im Mexico and the West Indies. As regards pulmonary disease there appears to be a grow- ing distrust in the curative influence of the sea- shore and the low and damp coast of the tropi- cal islands so extensively patronized in the past. A table presented in the Dictionary which gives the per centage of deaths to the whole population for the three last decades, and the relative frequency of consumption to total Geaths in each of the States and Territories of the United States, as returned in the census of 1860 and 1:70, shows that those States, as a gen- eral rule, preeenting the lowest elevations and greatest area of ponds, lakes, rivers, and wet lands to their whole area have the largest num- | ber of deaths from diseases affecting the various | organs. The apprehension that high elevations, Decause of the lessened barometric pressure, May induce hemorrhages where the lungs are | weakened by disease has not proved to be well | founded. From the testimony of disinterested army officers and other parties, given not to support any theory. but recorded as interesting facts observed, Dr. Toner is lead to surmise that Y there may be found a region in some part of | New Mexico, perhaps as favorable for patients | suffering from phthisis, as can be found within the boundaries ef the United States. It isa very curious idea which seems to have 7. 2: the heads of the citizens of Washington that they are entitled to an appropriation trom N Treasury for educational sent to the public schools. “waar ty oy 12) ‘The citizens of Washington have not asked “am appropriation from the National Treasury,” Dut in view of the exceptional burdens under the way of educating ‘the children of non-taxpayers—Congressmen, clerks, and contrabands they think the District of Columbia ts at least entitled to such an allot- ment of the public lands as has been given to all the states and other territories for educational Perpocss. Does not the Commercial thinks so ee rrr Committee of Investigation has gone in, and there can certainly be no complaint that it is Bot a full, straightforward, gnd exhaustive re- ply to all the various propounded. It moreover presents a conclusive array of data ssbowing the «mall proportion of expenditare made by the General Government towards the Capital city of the nation. It isa document that ought to effectually silence the clamor of the obstructionists, and at the same time to demonstrate to Congress the justice of the claim ‘that the Government should bear its share of ee ern Rocce eet.

Likewise, he isn't known in Beacon street, which is almost as bad. The fact that he might make a good officer, nevertheless, counts for | Bothing against these awful shortcomings. leo SOCIETY —Rshearsal SNING, March 34, at bal Bearsai Mond ct fn M4 eae ih of Broth ing ne death Of Beret er OMT, Te, Bec.
