IN
BENNINGTON
Means by Which the Disease May
Be Prevented.

Editor of the Banner:-During the
two years ending January /, 1904,
there were twenty-seven cases of ty-
phoid fever reported in the town of
Bennington, three of which resulted
fatally. Where contracted remained
unknown. The six public sources
of water supply of this village have
been frequently examined at the Lab
oratory at Burlington, and of these,
(city system, Morgan and lockwood
springs included), four have passed
the test, the other two have not been
condemned, and no typhoid germs
have been found in any of the sup
plies from wells anywhere, North Ben
nington and the entire town having
been under review.
The item in the Troy Times of March
2s, 1904, said: Health Officer Mich
OILS had water from the low service sup
ply examined last week. The work
vas performed by the physician who
has been doing the city's bacteria logi-
cal work. Doctor Nichols says that
the water was found to be contamina-
ted with typhoid fever germs and with
germs that come from the intestines OF
animals. Health Officer Nichols also
says that typhoid fever is more com
mon in the city than it should be for a
disease entirely preventable.
When the constant visitation of our
townspeople to Troy for business, to
visit or trade is considered, the fact
that they probably drink water, both
in that city and in the cars coming
home (the tanks dlled with Troy city
water, is it presumptous to assume
that some of the typhoid cases are
contracted in the city where its health
officer says that disease sis more com
mon than it should be?''
There is too much of itin Bennington
for a disease entirely preventable, "
Yours truly,
II. i. Stillson, Health Officer,
