An Ordinance of the City of Nuremberg . 883 
annoying, but also dangerous and injurious, the Honorable 
Council decrees that no manure be allowed to remain longer 
than two days upon the streets, but that it shall be carried 
away within this time, and especially that no manure be 
thrown or deposited in the middle of the public streets. In 
case that any person, whoever he may be, does not obey this 
regulation, the manure together with the forfeited penalty, 
one pound “Novi,” shall be the reward of any person who 
shall be pleased to carry it away. 
In the fourth place, all swine, wherever they may be within 
the city, shall during this time of pestilence, from now on, and 
within the ten days following the proclamation of this ordi¬ 
nance, be removed from the city on pain of punishment by the 
Honorable Council, for the reason that the manure and offen¬ 
sive odor of these animals is highly injurious and promotive of 
this disease. 
In the fifth place, since through strict regulations and the 
necessary preservatives and medicines many people, if they 
use these, may be saved from this disease and preserved, the 
Honorable Council has ordered for the benefit of the citizens 
under its protection that there be provided in all dispensaries 
much good medicine and preventives, useful and salutary in 
these times; and furthermore to purify and rectify the air m 
the houses some good powders and fumigants, which will be 
sold at a moderate charge to all in need; also for any one who 
may he afflicted with the disease a sufficient remedy and medi¬ 
cine, all of which things any one may seek there as he needs 
them, and that likewise everything that might overcome the 
disease would not long be lacking. 
In the sixth place, since with so great a number of people, 
in these times of pestilence, the infected and diseased cannot 
always be distinguished and at once separated from the healthy, 
and therefore an infected and diseased person may infect 
many that are healthy, and as from this follows that great con¬ 
gregations of people at this time are dangerous and unsafe, 
the Honorable Council, in the best and most sincere intention,
