One Way to Escape Threatened
Endemic of Typhoid Fever.
County Physician Keller sounds note OF
warning to the public to provide against the
danger of a threatened outbreak of typhoid
fever He reports a greater number of cases
of the disease at the present time than the
records have ever shown for the same
season Several of the cases have been fatal
and have shown degree of virulence that
indicates a liability to spread. majority
OF the cases that have come under his OBJ
seryation have been In families where well
water is used and he attributes the infection
to the contamination of the wells by surface
water from the excessive rains that have
fallen this season In speaking OF the mat
ter Yesterday he said the general pubic
would be surprised to learn the number or
people who still persist in using we'll water
for culinary purposes. This is especially so
in the western part of town, where the wells
would be most likely to be contaminated by
surface sewage, In his opinion, with the
number OF malignant cases that have al
ready occurred and scattered throughout the
city make the most favorable conditions for
dangerous outbreak Of the disease.
As precautionary measure he advises
all families to boil the water used for drink
ing purposes no matter where 1t comes
from This will kill the germs of the dis
ease and prevent an outbreak, Four deaths
from typhoid were reported la tsweek in
widely separated districts OF the city.
