The last table I place before you is that which points out the roads and streets
wherein zymotic diseases (fever, small-pox, measles, whooping-cough &c.) have proved
fatal. "Where most these diseases prevail, there as a rule will be found the greatest
sanitary deficiencies.
Our District in its lowest and obscurest quarters, where there is little traffic and where
the passers-by are few, affords a home for what are called [the dangerous class. There
they are born, and there unheeded they grow up into manhood, and become one of the
"rocks ahead."
