"i found out what your ‘drug-stores' were." he turned to us and spoke rapidly. "he and this wolfsheim bought up a lot of side-st

reet drug-stores here and in chicago and sold grain alcohol over the counter. that's one of his little stunts. i picked him for a bootlegger the first time i saw him, and i wasn't wrong." gatsby doesn't deny tom's accusation. obviously tom has gathered too much damaging information about him, and the more tom talks the worse it seems to everyone present . tom has found out that gatsby, with wolfsheim and others, is involved in other illegal activities. the fact that gatsby had bootlegging operations in the gangster-ridden city of chicago makes him seem especially corrupt, because that city was known for mobster rule, criminals like al capone, and frequent murders. page

Answer:

The question is asking for a comment on "side-street" in the following excerpt from the chapter Seven of The Great Gatsby is an equivalent of "side-street" in the sense of "underhanded," "secret," "sleazy"

Explanation:

If we look at the given excerpt, it can be stated that Gatsby and Meyer Wolfsheim are engaged in bootlegging, illegal drug sales, and possibly gambling

Though being on a side-street is not implicating in and of itself, Tom's mockery and choice of words indicate that he is using "side-street" in an ironic or offensive way.

Hence the answer to the given question is that side-street doesn't definitely mean "secret" or "sleazy." but if read the excerpt, one can conclude that here Tom is indicating a secrecy, illegality, and sleaziness.

Nurses, under the leadership of women like Dorothea Dix, did their best to care for the physical and emotional needs of wounded and sick soldiers.Women formed aid societies to help both Union and Confederate soldiers. They planted gardens; canned food; cooked; sewed uniforms, blankets, and socks; and did laundry for the troops. Some women wanted to get closer to the frontlines, and they volunteered as nurses.</h2>
