ABSTRACT
The intention and object of domestic sanitation is so to construct homes for human beings, or if the homes be constructed, so to improve them, that the various diseases and ailments incident to bad construction may be removed to the fullest possible extent. Care must eventually be taken in respect to the drainage of the house, that the contents discharged from the sewer be carried away by the escape-pipe from the house in the most perfect and rapid manner. The plan of introducing colored glass into windows as an ornamentation admits of little objection if it be not overdone, and if the places and colors be carefully selected. It is a house in which disease will never be generated, so long as it is kept up to its proper standard. It is a house which, after disease has left it, will admit of instant and complete purification.
