and towns are largely supplied with the
meat OF animals brought long distances

are taken from animals more or less dis.

died OF diseasc-,hat The eating OF these
meats produces disease in those who
eat them, and tina, it is Impossible TO de-
tee, tbeSe meat after ,bcy have been
dressed. In support OF these several
propositions the lecture gave at length
