Excerpt from Natural Artificial Sewage Treatment In addition to this it must be understood that, owing to the great losses by evaporation and by growing plants, which are continually at work on sewage farms, especially during the summer months, when, as a rule, the flow of water in the brook that takes the effluent is smallest, the quantity of the effluent from the natural treatment is probably only from one-half to one-third that resulting from the artificial treatment, which is a point of very great importance. If it can be proved to them that Nature is not sure and true enough in its methods, the Authors are prepared to assist it with methods and means produced by the inventive brain of man. But if such proof is not forthcoming, they adhere - in preference to groping in the dark - to Natures own methods, knowing from experience, that when allowed full scope and fair treatment, it is most sure in all its ways. That will not prevent them, however, from giving in the future, as they have done in the past, the question of sewage treatment in all its aspects their most careful consideration.
