Milk the Cause of Typhoid Fever
Health Commissioner Bosley, of Baltimore
city, has announced that his department has
closed dairy in the southwestern suburbs
from which milk had been sold that was badly
polluted with typhoid germs.
The condition of affairs at the dairy came to
light through the breaking out of typhoid
fever in a large factory in the central part of
the city, the employees of which had been
served with milk from the dairy for their
noon lupcheons. A large number of the
an investigation disclosed the fact that neither
the factory building nor its sanitary arrange
ments were at all responsible. Then it was
that the Investigations turned to the milk sup
ply. Samples of the milk taken to the Health
Department showed typhoid germs in abun-
dance.
Dr. Bosley then sent DR.. w. Royal Stokes
and Inspector George Schultz out to the dairy.
A careful examination of the premises showed
the water supply to be dangerously polluted
1t turned out that the milk-cans and bottles
became polluted through washing with this
water. The closing of the dairy followed and
the owner has since disposed of his COWS, all
of which, however, are sound and in perfect
health. The springs about the place have been
ordered closed.
1t was stated that the outbreak of fever in
the factory resulted in five or six deaths Dr.
Bosley said that it was impossible to tell how
many of the employees were made i'll by the
milk. The case will lead 10 more rigid inspec-
tions of the citys milk supply.
