Health and soil tied to epidemics in Dixon 1882
The Sun argues epidemics are shaped by soil and ground air. It cites Pettenkofer on hygiene, notes Dixon’s relative immunity to small pox and cholera, and explains how soil porosity and ground-air influence disease spread. It warns of contaminated air in poorly ventilated homes and endorses cautious remedies like Hop Bitters.
