Jerusalem is the resort of so many tourists and pilgrims who chiefly visit the country in the healthy spring season and see little of the conditions in which the poor of the land live, that it may be difficult for them to realize that it is a city where malaria is exceedingly rife and where the most elementary sanitary regulations are utterly neglected.There is no proper public water supply, no sewers worth the name, vaccination is not enforced even when small-pox is epidemic and there is no attempt to isolate those suffering from infectious diseases. This state of things is undoubtedly largely due to remissness and ignorance on the part of the Turkish Government, but the situation is made very complicated and difficult on account of the “ Capitulations ” by which all foreign subjects are practically independent of the Local Authority "and accept no orders except through their own Consuls.
