မန္တ​လေး​မြို့​ ဆင်​ခြေဖုံး​ရပ်ကွက် တစ်ခုအား​ ​တွေ့​မြင်ရစဉ်။

“This is a characteristic view of one of the streets in the suburbs of Mandalay. In the whole of the town of Mandalay no attempt was ever made to carry out sanitary arrangements of any kind before our arrival, all the sweepings and offal from the houses and shops being thrown out every morning into the centre of the streets,from which it was never removed, the pigs, Pariah dogs, and cows alone essaying to perform that duty. The pigs were considered Royal property, and any person killing one of these animals was subject to a heavy fine. After our arrival, no such protection being afforded to the beasts, they quickly became pork, which was daily offered for sale in the Bazaars, and found ready purchasers among the inhabitants, more especially the
Chinese, whose ideas of what may be considered luxuries are pretty comprehensive.”
