	Sir John Harington and the water closet
		The title is a pun on "a-jacques," or what is still called a "john": Harington proposed a perfectly good model of a flush toilet, as illustrated here, complete with cistern and sewage outflow.
		But the connection between sanitation and disease was not well established, and people of the period were not deeply concerned with such niceties; it was not until the nineteenth century that Thomas Crapper gave his name to a more successful model.
		Harington also published two influential translations: a spirited version of Ariosto's heroic poem, Orlando Furioso (1591), and a medical work, The School of Salerne, The Englishman's Doctor (1607).
