It is those trades that are dangerous because of remediable unsanitary and unhygienic conditions which demand the employer's attention.
"Civics and Health"
William H. Allen
The State socialistic position cannot be advantageously attacked from the ground of Mr. Spencer and the adherents of laissez-faire, who merely say, Let misfortune and poverty alone; whether remediable or irremediable, they are not the State's affairs.
"Contemporary Socialism"
John Rae
