The comfort and healthfulness of dwellings, especially in towns and cities, depend in a great measure upon the adequacy and thoroughness of the plumbing. And, as the health of the inmates is seriously affected by defective drain age, it is necessary that the work Of the plumber shall be thoroughly and conscientiously performed. The general public are profoundly ignorant of the importance of thorough drainage, and in many cases the plumber must protect people against the evil consequences of their own ignorance. In many communities laws have been made which greatly aid him in constructing drainage systems as they should be.
