-
in socially transmitted diseases, and in particular syphilis.
-
And so this sanitary movement was accompanied by the movement
-
for moral sanitation through the registration
-
and surveillance of prostitutes.
-
And in France those responsible for moral sanitation
-
actually made the link explicit; that is to say
-
that they compared brothels with sewers,
-
and said that they, the brothels, should become the target
-
of sanitation.
-
So this was a form of moral sanitation that was an offshoot
-
of the literal sanitary movement
-
that is our main theme.
