Excerpt from A Contribution to Our Knowledge of Epidemic Cerebro-Spinal Meningitis The water supply of Lonaconing is derived partly from surface wells and partly from cisterns, and we actually observed during a thaw the entrance of surface water and the accompanying filth directly into wells which were in daily use for drinking and culinary purposes.
