In tho Manchester Health Lectures for the people, Dr. Ransome, Chairman of tho Committee Manchester and Salford Sanitary Association, contributes a lecture on "Soils and Sites," and quotes approvingly the opinion of Dr. Buchanan, Chief Medical Officer to tho Manchester Local Government Board, that " Wetness of Soil is the cause of Phthisis (i.e., consumption), to the population iiving upon it." He also endorses Dr. Ilaviland's opinion that " Damp Soil is coincident with a high mortality." The Registrar General of Scotland confirmed that opinion, and added that: "Houses situated on impermeable soils, or on low-lying ground, and whoso sites were consequently kept damp, nad a very much larger number and proportion of cases of consumption than towns, villages, or houses which were situated on dry on rocky or on light porous soils, whore tho redundant moisture easily escaped."
