    Warns 'the public, and especially visitors' to Brighton of the medical evidence showing the 'Abominable' 'sanatory arrangements' of the place. Points out that many houses have poor drainage and that attempts to purify the town have been resisted by 'obstinate and prejudiced persons'. Concludes by urging that Mr Punch should be given all the 'particulars' of these 'recalcitrant jackasses' who he promises to throw into the sea.
