The young ladies and gentlemen of today are
often seen scoffing at the warnings of their parents, who have only their best
interests at heart. Consumption is one of the greatest societal dangers, and it
is certainly not a laughing matter. Between 1838 and 1840, about a quarter of
deaths in England and Wales were caused by consumption. This sobering fact
ought to be enough to make everyone take this threat seriously.
