第 18 頁 - ... to inspect and report periodically upon the sanitary condition of their parish or district to ascertain the existence of diseases, more especially epidemics, increasing the rate of mortality, and to point out the existence of any nuisance, or other local causes which are likely to originate and maintain such diseases, and injuriously affect the health of the inhabitants...
第 12 頁 - The hot fluid, rapidly mixing with the blood in the right side of the heart and in the pulmonary artery, would, as it were, dilute the poisoned blood and render it less irritating, just as diluents render the urine less irritating to an inflamed bladder or urethra. It is probable, however, that the chief action of the injection would be to relax the spasm of the minute arteries...

In every case the hospital or the house or our own practice should be brought to trial, — to private trial if you will, yet a just trial, — a trial before our own conscience ; and if the hospital, the house or the practice be found guilty, let it be condemned and amended.

When distress has been at its height, and our poor have been dying of starvation in our streets, our corn has been going to a foreign market. It is, to our own poor, a forbidden fruit.

It has reduced the wages of the labourers to the very smallest pittance, and when a bad crop occurs, there is no descent for them in the scale of...
第 11 頁 - I beseech thee, thy servants for ten days, and let pulse be given us to eat, and water to drink : And look upon our faces, and the faces of the children that eat of the king's meat : and as thou shalt see, deal with thy servants. And when he had heard these words, he tried them for ten days. And after ten days their faces appeared fairer and fatter than all the children that ate of the king's meat.
第 10 頁 - ... ascertain, they do not abstract their blood. Indeed, they could not have time to do so before the animals died, for they ride rapidly about through the vast herds of buffaloes. They cut the meat in long strips, which they dry in the sun, and this food, which they call '' tajo " confers on them a degree of health and muscular vigour scarcely ever attained by any European race.
第 5 頁 - ... or the habitual drinking of impure water".' The habitation of the poor workman 'is dingy and repulsive, the air is close and depressing; he is thirsty; the waterbutt, decayed and lined with disgusting green vegetation, stands open nigh a drain, and foul liquids which cannot run off are about it, tainting it with an unwholesome and unpleasant taste; the refuse heap, with decaying vegetable matter, is near, and the dilapidated privy and cesspool send up their heavy poisonous and depressing gases.
第 9 頁 - When you recollect that we take from 5 lbs. to 20 lbs. from a sheep or an ox, and multiply that by the number of sheep and oxen killed in the course of a year, you will find that it amounts to something which is quite frightful to contemplate. Now, I have no hesitation in saying that the blood you take away is just as good food as the blood you leave in, and that you would do much better to leave the blood in the animal.
