1st, Every householder owes it to his community in which he resides, to have his house, from cellar to garret, from the street curb to the rear line of his lot, most scrupulously cleansed, by sweeping, washing and white washing.
2d, Every man who has any authority in city or town government should consider himself bound by the oath of office, and by every consideration of humanity, to give himself no rest until every street, alley, closet gutter and sewer is placed in a state of as perfect cleanliness as possible, and kept so until the frosts of next summer come:
3d, These cleanings should be done and put off till warm weather, the effort now (for the removal of filth, will only hasten the appearance of the disease, to increase its malignity and to extend the season of spring and summer the sooner warm into life and intensity, the vitiated and malignant influence which, in its remorseless tread, wrecks so much of human happiness, and desolates so many hearth stones.
