In the twelfth century not less than
Hfteen epidemics Of disease and many
famines carried Off the people Of eng
land. The thirteenth century saw
twenty plaques and nineteen famines,
while the fourteenth had q black rec
ord Of disease. In 1B4S\ the fblack
plague" or "black DEATH" which was
brought into the country IRON the
east, caused the death OF 100000 per-
sons in London alone, while in Europe
altogether 25,0O0,OO0 people fell vic
Tins to It's ravages. In 14S5 the
Eswehting sickness" appeared In Eng
land, causing great destruction Of hui
man life. 1t reappeared at various in
teryals for. century thereafter. The
last terrible visitation Of the plague
In England was IN 10G4-G6, by which
100000 lives were lost In London alone
This epidemic was followed by the
great fire Of 1906, which destroyed 49,
900 houses, including all the most
densely populated portions OF the city.
The rebuilding OF London with some
regard to sanitary laws appears TO
have put the first check on the epidem-
