The r.'sult is that people compelled lo pa-s that way are afflhiej for works with the necessity of inhaling the foul odors thrown off by thr* dec ty ing indies This is nH only ex ceedingly disgusting and an roving, but probably is ais i a very unsani tary practice.

Those are not all insurrectos chat you see in the Landscape surrounding Matamoros.
