are concerned in the enactment of good sanitary measures,
and the heavy burdens imposed on them for the small
advantages afforded through timid and incomplete legislation,
should perseveringly continue to agitate for the
completion and final enactment of those promised reforms,
which all practical men are agreed are imperatively needed,
but which vested interests seem alone to be keeping in
abeyance.
