A MENACE TO HEALTH.

To the Editor of The Republican. Sir: I am rOOming in a house in this city which admits ''lungers" as cheerfully as # does well folk. My observation of the practices of these sick ones cOnvinces me that some of these room ing houses are a menace to the public health, at least to the extent they prove a convenient breeding ground for the development of the deadly tu- bercular bacilli
 Some of these sick ones have been under my eye day Nnd night. It is true at night they have a receptacle by the bed in which they spit, but in the day time they-etect their poisoned sputum indiscriminately on the floor. walls and walks. The cOnsumptive is not endangered by this. but how about the poor devil who occupies such a room after a consumptive2 What show has he for his white alley2'
 Is there no regulation of this sort of thing? Is there no inspection of lodging houses by the board of health? Is there no protection at all for the in nocent wayfarer who lodges in one of these places?
