The undersigned members of the Massachusetts State Board 

 of Health would respectfully, but earnestly, urge upon all per- 

 sons the careful perusal of the following masterly essay by 

 Mr. SIMON, Chief Medical Officer of the Privy Council and of 

 the Local Government Board of England. If the practical sug- 

 gestions made therein were acted on by all citizens, hundreds 

 of lives now annually doomed to destruction would be saved, 

 and the health and comfort of the people greatly increased.
