we eat are prepared. The blood from
the animals slaughtered runs through
the cracks of the floor The entrails
are thrown right outside the door

lions The meats Uhat are put on
the blocks the next day in Ogden
hang in the center Of these disease
breeding surroundings, the air so foul
that It conpels neighbors for miles
around to complain,
ITO complete the scene, We have
swarms of flies aliehting on this cor
ruption and carrying this filth onto
the meats, and vet we wonder where
all our sickness and disease como
from when such meats actually are
sold at some of what we call our best
meat markets In the city"
