1722.
Vermin.
To
the
same
cause
must
we
impute
the
various
kinds
of
vermin
that
infest
the
human
body,
houses,
&c.
These
may
generally
be
banished
by
cleanliness
alone.
1723.
Inducing
Cleanliness.
Perhaps
the
intention
of
Nature,
in
permitting
such
vermin
to
annoy
mankind,
is
to
induce
them
to
the
practice
of
this
virtue.
1724.
Cause
of
Fevers.
One
common
cause
of
putrid
and
malignant
fevers
is
the
want
of
cleanliness.
1725.
Incubation
of
Fevers.
These
fevers
commonly
begin
among
the
inhabitants
of
close
dirty
houses,
who
breathe
bad
air,
take
little
exercise,
eat
unwholesome
food,
and
wear
dirty
clothes.
There
the
infection
is
generally
hatched,
which
spreads
far
and
wide,
to
the
destruction
of
many.
Hence
cleanliness
may
be
considered
as
an
object
of
public
attention.
It
is
not
sufficient
that
I
be
clean
myself,
while
the
want
of
it
in
my
neighbour
affects
my
health
as
well
as
his
own.
1726.
Avoid
Dirt.
If
dirty
people
cannot
be
removed
as
a
common
nuisance,
they
ought
at
least
to
be
avoided
as
infectious.
All
who
regard
their
health
should
keep
at
a
distance,
even
from
their
habitations.
In
places
where
great
numbers
of
people
are
collected,
cleanliness
becomes
of
the
utmost
importance.
1727.
Tainted
Air.
It
is
well
known
that
infectious
diseases
are
caused
by
tainted
air.
Everything,
therefore,
which
tends
to
pollute
the
air,
or
spread
the
infection,
ought
with
the
utmost
care
to
be
avoided.
1728.
Clean
Streets
Necessary.
For
this
reason,
in
great
towns,
no
filth
of
any
kind
should
be
permitted
to
lie
upon
the
streets.
We
are
sorry
to
say
that
the
importance
of
general
cleanliness
in
this
respect
does
by
no
means
seem
to
be
sufficiently
understood.
