Abstract
REFERRING to the recent sad events at Londes-borough Lodge, and the disclosures made in the medical press, showing how the whole internal air of this house was tainted with sewer gas for want of ordinary care, the Times, in an able article which appeared on December 9, has the following telling passage: “What a satire on the universal diffusion of knowledge, on the lectures of the Royal Society, on hundreds of scientific and educational institutions, and all our new inventions and discoveries! Here is the simplest thing in the whole world, which wanted only common sense, and nobody seems to have thought of it—nay, we are not sure that our architects and builders will be thinking of it next year. It is far too simple and too deadly an affair.”
