ORANGE JUICE, TOO.
It Will Kill Germs of Typhoid Fever
in Water.

New York, Dec. 31.-Dr. Erbest G..
Lederle, president of the health depart
ment, referring to the discovery said to
have been made recently in England
that lemon Juice would kill typhoid
germs in water and to have been proved
by experiments in Chicago, says he
knows these experiments have been
tried often before. and that many ply
sicians treat their typhoid patients with
lemon Juice.
DR.. w. H Billings, a bacteriologist of
the department, said:
Il have not made any experiments
myself, but am sure that lemon juice
in water. will kill germs if enough is
used Orange juice viii do the same
thing. and in fact we have been feeding
pa tients that right along. There IS
nothing new in this discovery of lemon
juice. It takes more orange Juice than
lemon juice. because the former has not
so much citric acid in it, and yet it is
a powerful neutralizer. There is no
doubt that acied win kill typhoid
germs"
