typhoid cases developed at Chelten-
ham a number of weeks ago, and DR..
Fulton at that time made an analytic eX-
animation of water from each of the seven
sources of supply. All but one were con-
demncd, the water having been found in
six springs or wells to be impure. AS 4
result of Dr. Fulton's verdict four pumps
were dsmantlcd, and the three hundred
inmates of the institution were ordered to
to use only the water from the spring the
water of which was pronounced pure.
Whether the boys have violated this order
or whether the maladv arises from another
source, is undetermined, but typhoid fever
still exists among the inmates, eight patti
cnts being now under treatment.
