Sanitary Conditions Satisfactory 



. Dr. Manuel Varona Suarez, Secretary of 

 Public Health and Charities, has the follow- 

 ing to say regarding the health of Cuba in 

 a recent report: 



"Let me say once more, in summary, that 

 the sanitary conditions of the Republic are 

 so satisfactory that a parallel can be 

 established without presumption with the 

 most civilized nations, and that the defects 

 which are still noticeable in our public 



health and charitable institutions will be 

 remedied as soon as the means and re- 

 sources available permit." 



The two principal factors in sanitation, 

 he finds, are the aqueduct and the sewer, 

 and these it is necessary to establish in 

 towns which are without them ; but he 

 says : 



"It is not sufficient to have water ; it is 

 also indispensable to have drainage. The 

 former without the latter cannot provide 

 all the advantages of which it is capable."
