talities are light and the number of cases
lower than usual, think.
NOT AS MUCH AS USUAL.
Clerk ut Library Pharmacy: I'VE are
putting up a large number OF prescriptions
for malaria and allied complaints, but we
have noticed nothing to~indicate tnat
typhoid exists u an alarming extent. we
believe tnat there Is very hftie typhoio
this year"
Or. Il. E. Clark, 321 East Capitol street:
An undue amount OF typhoid, did you
saw? 1 don't think so. l have heard OF
only a few eases this fan, and think that
the talk abort the prevalence OF the Fever
is purely sensational"
DR.. johnson: There is probably not so
much typhoid this season as is usual What
there IL seems TO lie to be confined to
the pump districts, and the disease is GER
tainly due to the drinking OF this impure
water. polluted by drainage from stables,
dry closets, &c
DIR. A. s. HcIton, 252 Niuth street north
east: None to speak OF this fan Very
light, indeed. An exceedingly small NUM-
Der of cases ard those OF very light
type. l believe tie Tumors to he without
basis of fact"
Dr. Louisa II. Blake. No. 237 Eighth
street northeast: Il have no typhoid cases
and have heard Of none directly this fall
have understood from certain pubiica
tions in the local press that typhoid exists
to a considerable extent, but none has
come within my personal supervision"
NOT IN HIS LIST.
DR.. 2 ~. Roberts. No. 10T North Caro-
Ina avenue southeast: There Is very
little typhoid fever that l have noticed.
1 have teen called upon to attend many
cases of malarial fever, but 1 have not
seen single case of straight typhoid"
DR.. J. II. Parker, No. i35 Seventh street
southeast: u have been called to attend no
case of typhoid fever, ana l think that the
fever is scsrrer and piilder than usual
can see no reason FOR ALARM
DR.. G. C. Clark. of No. 321 East Capitol
street: ~ have had more cases of malarial
troubles than anything else. Have had no
cases of typhoid recently do not think
that it is in any way epidemic"
DR.. W. Beattie. No. 9l0 East Capitol
street. II have had no cases OF typhoid
recently, and know of none in the neighbor-
hood. My opinion. however. is that if ty
Dhoid fever should become epidemic IL would
he caused without doubt by the pumps and
street wells. / have talked with several
physicians. and they do not report the dis
ease as prevailing to an alarming extent"
DR.. Sewers, 1920 New York avenue: II
believe that there are quite n number of
typhoid cases this year, but doubt as to
whether there are more than in former
years. l think that the prevalence of the
disease can he greatly diminished. If not
entirely prevented by boiling the water
that is drunk and scaidibg all milk before
using
DISEASE PRACTICALLY ABSENT.
DR.. Latjmer. 1926 New York avenue
north west: Il have no cases of typhoid
fever at The present time There Is more
or less typhoid at this season, but l do
not think that statistics will show that
there is any more at the present time than
in former years"
Dr. Young. No. I336 New York avenue
- am quite CERTAIN that the reports which
tend to show an increase in typhoid fever
cases are largely exaggerated. have
no cases at the present time and have had
none this fJil There Is no possible reason
for believing that the disease is more
prevalent than in former years
DR.. Devereux, No. SIS Vermont avenue
northwest: There is niista idea
as to the number OF typhoid cases now in
the city. I apl one OF the doctors 10 the
poor and my territory covers quite large
area. Up to the present time / have yet
to report the first case of typhoid fever
to the health department.
Il am quite certain that the number
OF cases throughout the entire city will
not exceed those of previous years. There
Is quite scare at the present time. but
4 great many OF the cases of fever which
are sysppose,i to be typhoid are nothing but
malaria"
DR.. Mag-udcr, s15 Vermont avenue:
Il have oDiy a few cases of typhoid fever
at the present tine, and do not think that the
disease is more prevalent than in former
seasons II the people Of Washington could
be made to understand that the typhoid
germ is communicated TO the system
through the wafer and milk r,ey drink
they would, I am sure take the proper
precaui.on to have these tive HcuiGs thor
oughly boiled before using
THESE WERE IMPORTED
DR.. Lincoln, 1914 81 street: "The only
cases of typhoid fever have had this fail
are two cases which were contracted in
tire country and brought here A number
of people go away during the summer and
drink impure water, and in this way get
typhoid germs into their system, and W hen
they return to the city the disease manifests
itself
You may say that I am positive
that there are very few cases in the north
west section of the city at the prese ut time
and 1 do not believe that there are more
cases OF typhoid in the other portions OF
the city than are usually found at this
season."
Dr. Stewart Muncaster, 1910 II street
"Ihaye no cases of typhoid fever, nd have
not heard or any in this neigbborhood.r
III baker- 40 seventeenth street. How
this typhoid scare was occa stoned do not
know, but l am certain that there are
fewer cases Of typhoid fever in Washing
ton this fall than there were last year"
DIR. HAAIMETT's VIEWS.

thee cases of specific typhoid. There has

DR.. Neil F. Graham, No. sos New York
