To suggest a remedy, if the evil were only a local one, would
be easier; but there is every reason to believe that it is almost
universal in all the crowded centres of London.
Recommendations.
I recommend that the Local Government Board and the
London County Council's attention be drawn to the facts set out
in the above report, and that the latter be asked to initiate legislation
with a view to preventing the sale of verminous and filthy
secondhand clothing.
I remain,
Yours obediently,
J. KING-WARRY, M.D., D.P.H.,
Medical Officer of Health.
