people of Chicago are drinking the most
impure water imaginable. Typhoid follows
as a matter of course. and the proportion
of patients to the municipal population Is
much greater than it is in Washington.
But there Is no record of it, and Chicago
escapes the 1isCredit which is attached to
another city not half so subject to the dis
ease. London is wrestling with cholera
and smallpox all the year round. Those
diseases present persist ent, difficult prob
lens for English physicians to solve. But
we never hear Of them. In Washington if
a single case of either disease is discovered
it is advertised in The papers and heralded
10 the whole world
First Record Ever Kept.
Secretary Buckley discussed the situation
only as 1t concerns the prospe ctive encamp-
ment. If only the out-of-town papers
would make it clear that this record of
1902 is the first our health office has ever
kept he said, ''the fear of an epidemic
might be entirely dispelled AS the situa-
ton is explained by our ply scans here the
number of typhoid cases is not extra larse
There Is manifcstly no danger that visitors
VIII be affected. Indeed, from what our
records show of the origin of typhoid fever
they would DO well to come to Washington
and escape the disease.
The announcement broadcast that any
epidemic prevails in Washington might do
tHe ehcdmpment unmeaSured injury. But I
do not think any steps have been taken so
lar which cannot be abundantly recovered
Dy the puhllcation that this is the first year
typhoid fever cases have been recorded"
