Excerpt from Second Annual Report of the Health Commissioner of Milwaukee (Thirteenth Annual Report of the Department): January, 1880 Britain. The traditions of its destructiveness, and the panic-struck words of the statutes which followed it, have been more than justified by modern research. Of the three or four millions who then formed the population of England, more than one-half were swept away in its repeated visitations. Its ravages were fiercest in the greater towns, where filthy and undrained streets afforded a constant haunt to leprosy and fever. In the burial-ground which the piety of Sir Walter Manny had purchased for the citizens of London, a spot whose site was afterwards marked by the Charter House, more than fifty thousand corpses are said to have been interred. Nearly sixty thousand people perished at Norwich, while in Bristol the living were hardly able to bury the dead. But the Black Death fell on the village almost as fiercely as on the town. More than one-half of the priests of Yorkshire are known to have perished; in the diocese Of Norwich two-thirds of the parishes were left without incumbents. The whole organization of labor was thrown out of gear. 'the Sheep and cattle strayed through the fields and corn, ' says a contemporary, and there were none left who could drive them.

The influence of water polluted with putrefying organic filth is seen in the production by it of fatal diarrhoea and dysentery, and in the propagation of enteric fever and malignant cholera. There is something inexpressibly revolting in the notion of persons and communities drinking water mingled with their own excrement, and yet it is one of the commonest facts of every-day life; and in addition, as we now know, excrement-polluted water is not rarely given to our infants and young children mingled with the milk on which they are fed. (c) Soil--The part of the soil in the promotion of premature death is as a source of pollution of the air we breathe and of the water we drink. The soil is the great laboratory in which the great mass of solid and liquid filth of those who live upon it undergoes John Simon:, Supplementary Report of Medical Officer of Privy Council and Local Government Board, .87 P-New Series, No. . its final decomposition and resolution into harmless elements. But when this soil becomes surcharged with filth its wholesome action ceases, and the changes which the filth undergoes within it commonly stop short at a period when its products are harmful to those living upon it. These products are taken up by the water in the soil and carried into the springs and wells, and they are also giv%n off into the air above the soil by the movements of the air within the soil outwards, as it is influenced by the varying level of the sub-soil water, by variations of pressure in the atmosphere, and by other circumstances which go to bring about the breathing, so to say, of the sub-soil.
