AVAILABLE.

In the Morning Examiner of June
Goth. the following description is Civ
en- OF one Of the local slaughter
houses by AN Old Subscriber;
Here is a place where the meats
we eat are prepared The blood from
the animals slaughtered runs through
tho cracks OF the floor The entrails
are thrown right outside the door
Gu under the floor and outside the
door, In all Of this corrupted mat
ter, the maggots thrive by the mil
lions The meats that are put on
the blocks the next day In Ogden
hang in the center OF these disease
breeding surroundings. the air SO foul
that 1t compels ncighbors for miles
around to complain.
ITO complete the scene, we have
swarms of flies alighting on this cor
ruptlon and carrying this filth onto
the meats and yet We wonder where
all our sickness and disease come
from when such meats actually arc
sold at some of what we call our best
meat markets in the city"
