SANITARY INSANITY.
(To the Editor of the Evening Stab.)
Sib, —Trade is dull, but thanks to Mr Renshaw it is likely to improve. He has recommended that a cess-pit be dug in the Hospital grounds, into, which to run all the drainage and filth of that institution—from . thence gradually to percolate into the surrounding wells, carrying with it the germs of diseasebesides impregnating the air with malaria. Very good !Mr Solomon! And, as we cannot have too-much of a good thing, please take measures for compelling every householder to have a similar cesspit. We shall then have little cause to complain of the slackness of trade—at least till the spread of disease has carried off the bulk of the inhabitants.—l am, &c, Chemist and Dbugoist.
