In order that a test of this kind may lie of much value great care must l»e taken in securing samples. In the present case the bottles and corks were boilci in water for some time and then put in k hot oven and subjected to dry heat for an hour or more. Then aamples of water were taken and Ixittles securely corked without allowing cither th«? m iuth of the bottle or cork to come in contact with the hands. One sample wax taken from the creek at the entrance to th«* mill race; a second, from th« race where the witer is taken into the city pipes; a third from th«* drinking fountain in th<‘ school building; while a fourth sample was taken from one of the wells of the city. The differ­ ent samples were numbered and sent to the state board of health by express and returns may lie expected in a week or ten days. The one making the test will not know from what source any particular sample was taken.
