Excerpt from Louis Victor: His Sickness and His Cure The whole number of children supported in the two Folds by Mr. Cowley from 1867 to 1880, is 700. The sanitary condition has been very satisfactory. There have been no cases of diphtheria, scarlatina, or other epidemic or contagious diseases, among the children. The hygienic management has been such that all the newly-admitted members have improved in health and physical appearance, in proportion to the time they have lived in the Fold. I always thought they appeared well, and compared well with the children I met in their own homes among respectable people. I saw each one cheerful, cleanly, and neatly dressed. They were all trained to help each other, and seemed to take pleasure in doing it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
