Rather Hard on the Cattle if They Could Only Appreciate It

"Rather Hard on the Cattle if They Could Only Appreciate It." New-York Saturday Press. 12 Jun. 1866: 7.
Type: 
newspaper
Genre: 
commentary
Abstract: 

The author sarcastically describes recent Board of Health recommendations, including the decision to exclude cattle from Fifth Avenue, a warning about the proper uses of mineral waters, and the risks of drinking ice-water in the heat of summer. The author concludes with rhetorical questions about the Board's stance on what people eat, where they can eat, and who they should marry.
