« It is singular, seeing how much depends on good health, that a little more pains is not taken to impress on the people a few simple rules for its preservation. Thus, bad drainage is the main cause of typhoid fever, which kills 20,000 people in England yearly. Small and low bed-rooms engender consumption and loss of vitality unless well ventilated, not only in the day-time, but at night. An ill- ventilated bedroom is a frequent cause of s'eeplessness. Chi'dren are especially sufferers from badlyventilated bedrooms. That is the chief cause why children of the poor look so sickly. It may be said that people have a right to be filthy. So they have, unless they are an active annoyance and danger to their neighbours.
