Several years ago when we came to do a conference for Mike and Sally, in
Nova Scotia, we visited Louisburg.   They spoke of two things.  Poison water
from the sewage and how it kept the MicMac out of the town for more than a
few hours of trading.   The French only drank wine.  The other was the smell
of human excrement which the troops wore.   The actors in the re-enactment
actually had a perfume that smelled of excrement that they wore to work for
the tourists.   I can tell you it was effective.

    think it's strange.  Lewisburg in Nova Scotia had a similar
    strategy working there hundreds of years ago.  Ask them about the
    wells.

So what's this about Louisburg about, Ray?  Doesn't ring any bells for
me.
