MUCH TYPHOID IN THE CITY
CayeS, However, Not in Severe FOrm--HOW
Disease Is Contracted

Although there are many cases Of ty-
phoid fever in this city and the surround
ing country at this time, the death rate
is low, there having been but two deaths
from the disease during the past two
weeks.
A city physician says the disease may
be ascribed to two causes. One Is the
fact that so many people are sojourning in
the country along the watershed during
the summer and the other Is the summer
freshets. The only way to guard against
taking the disease is to boil all drinking
water.
Every case Of the disease. according to
the physician. Is to be traced to a pre-
vious case. A previous case has always
contaminated the well, spring or river
water used for drinking or for washing
food and dishes. The excreta Of a ty-
phoid patient thrown carelessly on the
ground penetrate the soil and the disease
germs they contain find their way after
days, weeks or months TO the well or
spring. and thence to ones food and
drink. The vigorous members Of a family
using such water can often Withstand the
germs. There are cells in the blood Of
persons in vigorous health which are said
to pounce upon disease germs as fast as
they get into ones circulation and de-
your them. II is far otherwise. however,
when a young person run down by eN-
hausting labors appears and partakes Of
the water The contest in this case is
between enfeebled blood cells and vigor-
Gus disease germs. with the result that
the latter are victorious and pervade the
body OF the young person, creating case
OF typhoid fever.
II 1t were the rule Of the house TO drink
none but boiled water or water flowing
from a strongly flowing. uncontaminated
spring, the disease would be escaped.
Defective ideas OF sanitation, bad
drainage, bad plumbing are responsible,
doubtless. for the present epidemic. The
remedy lies in an awakened appreciation
on the part of the public that typhoid is
an absolutely presentable disease, every
case Of which involves blame for some
body's ignorance or neglect Of duty.
