DISB lSB GERMS
IN WASTE WATER
Apprehension Concerning The
Spread Of COntagiOn by
This Means

Although but few cases OF small
pox exist in tnis city. there is an ap-
prehension that existing means to
combat the danger are inadequate.
There has not been one case reported
thus far this week, yet the elements
Of danger in the disease situation re-
mains.
Bacteriologists have never succeeded
in finding the germ of smallpox il
there be a germ, and the medical pro-
fession does not yet know how the
disease is transmitted.
There is. moreover, some question
as to whether every precaution is TAX
en- by such methods as the sterilization
or disinfection of the waste water to
prevent spread of the contagiOn.
Physicians say that every effort to
identify any germ, bacillus, microbe or
other organism conveying the infec-
tion has failed. They add that no pos
sible precaution against the spread Of
the disease ought to be omitted.
Nothing whatever from any hospital.
or house in which is a smallpox patient
Should be permitted to escape into
the drains and go into the common
sewer system Of the city The same
rule, in limited degree. applies to
other contagious and infectious dis
eases.
THE EXAMPLE or TYPHOID
Medical men say that nine hundred
and ninety-nine in every one Thousand
cases of typhoid fever are communi-
Gated by the passage into the stomach
Of the victim Of a micrObe from the
intestinal tract OF some preceding suf-
terer. This is generally carried by
drains or similar outlets into the sew
ers, and thus reaches the water sup
ply of the community. causing a COR
responding spread Of the contagion.
While it is not known that small
lpox is communicated in the same way
as typhoid. it is also not known that
it is not so conveyed, and therefore the
precautions against injecting the water
supply are, in the present state Of med
ieal knowledge, of equal Importance in
smallpox cases.
In addition to this danger from the
hospital, there is the danger Of SINH
Ian infection from the cases Quaran-
ltined in private houses.
One baffling feature of the recent
visitation was its mildness, which left
in doubt, generally for several days
after the illness first manifested itself
as to whether the disorder was small
pox or some other ailment The result
was that while the diagnosis remained
in doubt, there was opportunity for the
spread of the disorder. Some Of tine
most experienced physicians in the
city find themselves at q loss, until the
most violent stages are reached, to say
whether the patient is actually suffer
| ing from the disease.
