Glamorgan

On the continent, the trend of public opinion is evident by the prohibition found in the railway carriages and the notices to that effect conspicuously posted in public places.

in this country public opinion moves so slowly that we are not yet ripe for any such strong step and so far one of the few attempts at official activity in this respect is to be found in a circular issued by the local government board of ireland to the various local authorities stating that tuberculosis sputum is the main agent for the conveyance of the virus of tuberculosis from man to man and that indiscriminate spitting should therefore be suppressed the public exhibition of notices calling attention to the danger accruing from expectoration in public resorts is as already pointed out one means of educating the people and it has been stated that such a notice is posted in every beer-house in manchester the question has also been raised of the inspection of beer houses and the suggestion made that licenses should be withdrawn in the case of those holders who did not wash the floors of their public rooms and keep them in a sanitary state it is to be hoped however that with the spread and popularization of the knowledge acquired through the arduous labors of so many scientific authorities it may come to be regarded as a matter for both public and private morality that every step should be taken which lies in the power of each member of society to minimize the opportunities for the spread of a disease which by its very familiarity we have until the last few years accepted as incurable and the ravages of which as inevitable since the above was written the first international conference of the central committee for the prevention of consumption has been held in berlin the official report of the english national association for the prevention of tuberculosis was presented to the congress and the encouraging announcement was made that the corporations of glasgow manchester and liverpool had made expectoration in tramcars a punishable offence and that the glamorganshire county council had passed a by-law providing as penalty for expectoration in public buildings a fine of five pounds which enactment has been sanctioned by the secretary for the home department now that we are considering the status of street dust in bacterial circles it will not perhaps be out of place to inquire into the character of another waste product of streets that is the discarded ends of cigars and cigarettes that what is carelessly tossed away on the one hand may be as carefully collected on the other is well known as is also the fact that such material may subsequently be raised once more to the dignity of a marketable commodity under these circumstances it is of hygienic interest and importance to ascertain whether disease germs should they have obtained access to this tobacco refuse are in a virulent or quiescent condition some experiments to decide this question in connection with the tuberculobacillus have been recently carried out in padua by dr passerico who whilst extending our knowledge on the subject of bacteria and tobacco has also confirmed the earlier results obtained by portions of cigar stumps smoked by physical persons in whose saliva the tubercle bacillus was known to be abundantly present were inoculated into guinea-pigs with the result that fifty per cent of the animals thus treated succumbed to tuberculosis thus neither the fumes nor juice of the tobacco had destroyed the consumption In these experiments, the cigar ends were used directly, they were discarded.

In another series of investigations, they were collected and kept in a dry place for from 15 to 20 days before being tested.

But even storage for this length of time did not prevent the animals inoculated with them from contracting tuberculosis.

Skye and then Lambay Island off Dublin were invaded in 795.

Glamorganshire was ravaged in the same year, and the Isle of Man was attacked in 798.

Iona was plundered in 802 and again in 806.

In 807, invaders appeared off the coast of Sligo and made their way inland as far as Roscommon, and in 811, Munster was plundered.

And as we know, Buckingham started raising troops in the late summer of 1483 with, again, depending on which source or modern history you read, he was either going to free the princes in the tower and when he found out that they were dead or changed his mind and opted to seek the throne himself and he made a common pact with Henry Tudor and Tudor was going to land on the south coast and Buckingham was going to bring his troops over the Severn from Wales because he had his power base at Brecon.

And Sir James Tyrrell had, long before this, had been appointed Sheriff of Glamorgan and Constable of Cardiff Castle, which is not far from Brecon, of course.

And So obviously, James had a lot of responsibility for security in the Southwest.

And he was also married to a Cornish heiress as well.

But again, if you look at the list of honours and titles and sinecures that Tybalt had been given long before Richard even became king, because as Duke of Gloucester, all the benefits in the South West and in South Wales were his to give.

And Tybalt got a lot of them.

You know, it was like Sheriff of Glamorgan and Constable of Cardiff and... sheriff of Cornwall and lots of abbeys.

You know, he had the rents from abbeys and monasteries and bishoprics and all this sort of thing.

I am sure of it.

There was a young man who came down to Glamorganshire from college and almost broke his heart about me, and he never knelt once.

Conway startled

Oh, roses and carnations.

I never did dine with a duchess.

It must be very delightful.

I should go back to Glamorganshire and be able to amuse my neighbors with all her grace's bon mots and repeat her grace's toasts.

I would hold my ass skin slyly under the table and pencil down her good things.
