Tens of thousands of newcomers packed rat-infested housing. Mud oozed out in the city's winding, narrow streets. Garbage clothed every path, the odor of horse manure completed with the stench of sewage that flowed directly into the River Seine. Diseases sich as cholera and tuberculoises killed many thousands. Criminals lurked in the shadows of this city which, as the great French writer Victor Hugo put it, "a forest of steeples, of turrets, of chimmneys" blocked the light.
