The "htetreplitan Association of Medical °Mean
of fledels." at ilralr nemithly mimics is June, eppolatml •
iseeemillse egg el Dr. Letheby, Dr. R. D. Temples,
Dr. Desea, Kr. Wilk, Dr. Gibbon, aid Dr. Draft., with
Dr. ammo as elienissa, to inquire iota the tams relating
to lb, alleged salt of dimmed and unwholesome meat in the
meiregelle, as well as the 11l edges 'rising therefrom, and
the beet mode of prevention. TOO report r.ad at the late
piers! meeting of the association, held at the Baird of
Health, wee ordered to bo printed for the use of the mem-
here of the amoeistioa, end for the guidanse of the In-
feeders of salaam:es, In carrying out that radios of the
?falseness Removal Act which relates to dimmed or as-
Miamians feed.

sosairiTtes soy is this report that they consider this
feet to be hilly proved, that large quantities of unwholesome
meat an seastestly on sale to the lower orders in Loadea:
26 live animals, 612 entire caroms, 696 quarters, 8 se
and 227 junta of beef, mutton, veal, and limb were sid4
in the Cat of Leedom alone list year, besides so immense
quantity of poultry, geese, and fish, which probably was
oondeaused beaus putrid. It must be borne in naiad, toe,
that the City of Loudon is a peivileged place, that the ha-
sped= of matt and shughter-housee is there surfed oa
systematically, and that mach meat which could not be ex-
posed in the city is sold openly In the suburbs. In order to
wive a useful and practical turn to their labours, the cam-
mitts. have drawn up a short summary of the marks by

that very few diseased animals are brought into, or slaugh-
tered is Loudon, bet that they are killed in the suentry
persons who auks this a regular bus:seas More unused
meat, eceording to the inspection, is found in Newpte than
In say other market, solely because more country meat is
mint them. Bat there are persons, well known fa the
London trade, who make it their business to dispose pri-
vately of meat which could not be exposed openly in say
market. As fa the distribsdon of this meat, there is ne
doubt that it is purchased after regular market hours, by
Itradesmen who retail it to the labouriog closes late le the
eventing, Ia the suburbs and what are ealkd low neighbour-
hoods. Mee\ meat is sold by goalight,whieh Gould searealy
be exposed in broad daylight.
Tilo report frees which we quote goes en to stow the 111
offsets of unsound meat. These are two-fold. In the first
I plus the 111011111111HW is sobbed cf his fair share of nourish-
ment; Le it is notorious that second•rate and unsound moat
snot stand the fire, and wastes in cooking to as extraor-
dinary degree. Thus it Is the most extravagant kind of
food, and famish's one example emceed many, that the
poorest people always pay most dearly for everything. In
the sent plus, there sex be no doubt but that the use of
diseased meat may be a specific mos of illness. Instances
btu some under the notice of Dr. Gibbon, Dr. Chalks,
and other members of the committee, of symptoms of poi-
I sonless arising from the use of wound meet partially
cooked.
The esommittes Own* that, although it may be difficult'
to prove it by actual cases, they have no doubt that
aa-
wholewme meat is one catuie, amongst many, of the debility
sad takeout's, the Forest, of blood, and intractable melee
dies of the poor who flock to the dispensaries and ecroehial
audios' Moen, and especially of diantots, daring hot

To treat of premtivo measures, the committee, speakiag
with due Caution on a legal question, bliss* that the ale
of unwholesome meat is indietable as an offence at common
law, and is sic, guarded against by several sreiel enact-
mutt' which they proceed in their report to make known.
