Excerpt from Standard Practical Plumbing

Now this was intolerable the builder was compelled to get his work done at a price, which was the cause of zinc roofs and gutters, irou soil pipes in lieu of lead, iron service or communication pipes, and when once they could see that they could oust the plumber they lost no opportunity to do so, making all sorts of excuses, such as lead water pipes are poisonous, rats eat leaden soil pipes, and such like nonsense, and by the introduction of this, they have been the main cause of the loss of tens of thousands of lives from typhoid and other fevers.
