Excerpt from American Plumbing Plumbing as a trade has kept pace tolerably well with modern progress, although there is still much to be done in the line of improvement. No trade connected with house-building is of such importance as plumbing, the health of the tenants depending, we may say, almost entirely upon the sanitary appliances and their connections, which are used to convey all waste and foul matter into the sewer, and above all to prevent the entrance of noxious gases. It is the latter consideration which has caused an almost complete revolution of methods in plumbing. It was always, and is now, where the sewers are good, a comparatively easy matter to dispose of any refuse which will run through a pipe. A sufficient fall to facilitate the rapid running of water is all that is required for that purpose. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
