Trees should be cherished, trimmed from below and not standing too densely. Evergreens should not abound if they feather from the ground. Hedges of arbor vitse and dense shrubs around and within the burial plots ought to be forbidden. They collect and hold the noxious gases which rise from beneath. No vegetation, however beautiful in itself, should prevent the free circulation of the air which dilutes the emanations from the " In searching for cases of recent date of disease resulting from graveyard infection, we find that such are almost unknown to medical literature. The only marked European case which we have yet discovered is that mentioned by Pietra Santa, of the villages of Rotendella and Ballita, in Italy. The cemeteries of these villages were at the summit of a wooded hill, at a considerable distance from the houses. The springs from which the water was obtained were at the foot of the hill, and ultimately the water became highly contaminated. A severe epidemic which recently visited these villages was ascribed to the use of this impure water. A similar case occurred during the past year in Barbary, as an incident of the plague which has recently visited that country. The people of a certain village lived in excavations in rocks, getting their water supply from wells into which water had run from the cemetery where bodies were covered only a foot deep with gravel. Those only who had drank of this impure water were attacked with the plague." /. F. A. Adams, M. D., in Report of Mass, B. of Health, 1875. graves and thus renders them innocuous.

Stephen Wickes
Edit ProfileEducation
He attended the Union Academy in his native town and later entered Union College at Schenectady, N. Y. , where he was graduated in 1831. After some work at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute at Troy, he began the study of medicine in the office of Dr. Thomas W. Blatchford of that city, and was graduated from the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania in 1834.
Career
After a short term of practice in New York City he returned to Troy to associate himself with his former preceptor. Here he lived and carried on a general practice until 1852, when he removed to Orange, N. J. , his residence for the remainder of his life. His practice here brought him a reputation for accurate diagnosis, therapeutic skill and an insistence upon the strict regimen of the sick-room. In 1873 he became a member of the medical staff of the Memorial Hospital at Orange. He retired from active practice in 1886, and devoted himself thereafter to his literary work. Upon his arrival in Orange he joined the Essex District Medical Society and was chosen to represent it in the councils of the New Jersey State Medical Society. His unpaid services as chairman of the standing committee of the state society covered a period of twenty-three years, until his election to the presidency in 1883. From 1861 to 1882 he edited the Transactions of the Medical Society of New Jersey, producing an annual volume of original papers to which he added historical items of medical interest from all parts of the state. In addition he edited The Rise, Minutes and Proceedings of the New Jersey Medical Society, Established July 23, 1766 (1875), which carried the history of the society down to 1800. This work led to the preparation of his most important book, the History of Medicine in New Jersey, and of its Medical Men, from the Settlement of the Province to A. D. 1880 (1879). The first part consists of historical narrative, while the second part is devoted to medical biography. Other writings include Medical Topography of Orange, New Jersey (1859), Sepulture, its History, Methods and Sanitary Requisites (1884), the History of the Newark Mountains (1888) and History of the Oranges, in Essex County, N. J. (1892). His presidential address before the state medical society was a philosophical paper entitled Living and Dying, their Physics and Psychics (1884). In addition to his medical and literary interests he had a part in every local enterprise for the promotion of education and for the moral and intellectual improvement of the community. While a resident of Troy he was a trustee of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Always interested in historical research, he was a member and corresponding secretary of the Historical Society of New Jersey. He died in Orange.
