Obedience to the reciprocating laws of animal and vegetable life involves no abstruse submission to the teachings of the chemical sciences; it is exercised unconsciously by those who nurture plants and nurture their own existence; he is, in the act of a simple and refined pleasure, exercising obedience to the sanatory laws of nature; he is creating a safe vent for the noxious residue of his own respiration, and producing a life-invigorating gas.
It is much to be regretted that the Government, in apportioning the building sites in Victoria, did not encourage and enforce the formation of gardens, for there are many waste slopes and corners lying contiguous to buildings which have been expensive in their construction, that it would be well to plant and adorn, rather than to sell them for purposes which may render the neighbouring houses uninhabitable.
When an epidemic occurs, we are too apt to look for the source of it in the spot where the disease has reigned, and to apply our remedies there. We overlook the fact that it may have originated from general and distant causes. It may be asserted as an axiom that the habits and houses of the poor are generally the seats of malaria.
