Preventive measures for cholera (3)

From Lo Spirito folletto, Milan, 1873:

Polenta vendors will be prohibited from seasoning food with candle wax:…

…all the culprits caught in flagrant contravention will be condemned to do what they have never done: to swallow all the polenta thus seasoned.

Any poultryman who has put up dead game for sale for fifteen days will be exposed to breathe the pleasant scent of the sun for eight days.

We will also take a look at the bakers who, in addition to the candle which they allow to drip into the pasta, make us eat products unrelated to its manufacture on bread.

Healthy hygiene. Every evening, before going to bed, you will do well to disinfect the sheets with chlorine. A half liter is enough for this.
