w. P Beall. who is at present the acting
physician Of the college.
"The mother of the young lady is here,
and informs me that her daughter nurs-
ed a case of typhoid fever near her home
a few weeks ago, and that there were
thirteen cases of typhoid fever in that
community.
Il mention these details because it is
very important chat the patrons of the
college should be assured that this case
of fever was contracted before the stu
dent left her home.
so far as | can judge from my own
observation and the advice of DR.. Beall'
there is no reason why any patron should
he alarmed, and l wish to assure you
that, if another case develops, you Will
have prompt notification of the fact
Considering the large number OF stu
dents assembled here from every section
of the State, it is not remarkable that
here should be a case of typhoid fever
among them at the beginning of the col
'loge year; but, because of our recent eX-
perience, | desire to notify the patrons
as TO the exact condition of affairs IN or
der that they may know of the presence
of Ibis case of fever and also they may
have an authoritative statement as to It's
origin.
From the first this case has been
isolated in the infrmary, a building some
distance from any other of the college
buildings.
II will add that, since the opening of
the college, the drinking water used by
the students has been analysed by the
State bacteriologist and pronounced ABB
solute1y pure.
