How Typhoid Fever is Spread.

Typhoid feveris generally regarded
~ th- present day, along with choi-
era and some other diseases. a. be-
longing to the class of water borne
affections. In other words, it is be-
lieved that the germs of such diseases
are carried, and perhaps propagated
in water. There Is little doubt that
this theory of typhoid fever is correct
and that in tracing any extended ep-
idemic of the disease to its source We
must first of all examine into the con-
dition of the water.
Drinking water has been proved
to be the cause of the spread of ty-
phoid fever in many epidemics in this
country ami England: but there is
little comfort in this for those who
hahitually drink something stronger
than water. because, although during
an epidemic the drinking water may
be made safe by boiling. this i not
enough. II the water is contamina-
ted. the germs may be introduced into
the body while brushing the teeth or
washing the face. Or again. salads
and fruits which are eaten raw may
be contaminated by the water in which
they are washed. Typhoid fever has
sometimes been spread in city
whose water supply was above re-
proach by means OF milk OF ice. Milk
need not be watered in order to be-
come vehicle for typhoid germs: the
germs may be introduced into cans
and bottles while these are being
washed in water drawn from con-
taminated well or brook at the dairy.
Although destroyed by boiling, ty-
pioid germs will resist a freezing
temperature FOR a long time, and have
been found IN ice cut from pond
poisoned with sewage containing the
bacilli Of this disease.
Another means Of the spread al
Typhoid has recently been discovered
| in oysters. Oystermen irequeaflE
place oysters in brackish water neal
the mouth OF a creek or river III nrdel
to fatten them before they are brough
to market If this place happens Il
BE- near the mouth OF a sewer contain
ing typhoid poison. or if the cree
water be contaminated, the oyster
will take tn" virus within their shell
and so revenge themselves ON thos
Iwho eat them raw.
In some puzzling cases of typhoi
it has been supposed that the foo
was infected by flies, which had car
ried the germs long distance o
ltheiI. fett-a strong argument for tn
lprOper care of food in the fly season
These are only Il few of the ways i
which this disease may be spread
but they are enough to show that :
far from feeling surprise that the di,
order should be so common. we ma
Irather wonder that We are not all Vi,
Itims. Companion.
