Typhoid, Filtration and Vegetables.

! To the Editor of The Star:
| 1t is intensely edifying to record the
| opinions Of those who know, or ought to.
| as to the cause of the prevalence of ty-
phoid fever in this city. One disciple of
| the microscope and the incubator will tell
us that it is because the filtration plant
| is still incomplete but he does not tell US
| how the filtration of suspected river
water through beds of infected river sand
can eliminate the dreaded typhoid germ.
| II we questioned him further he would
most likely tell US that the sand would
| be washed, but would still leave in
doubt as to whether the water used in
the washing would be just plain infected
river water or whether it would first have
been boiled. Nor would he explain how
the sewage of Alexandria, blending with
| that Of this city, will exert a sterilizing
effect upon such germs as may be hiding
in the sand.
illuminates the armament of our igno-
rance with the meteoric statement that
typhoid is most in evidence when the
weather Is warm and the people are
using most ice. Now this was truly kind
TIL now we had thought that the preva-
lence of typhoid at this time of the year
was due to the abundance of and the use
of uncooked vegetables, for If we We're to
ask any one of these gentlemen where
we would be 1ikeliest to find few speci-
mems of B. Typhosus he would not tell us
TO examine ton OF Two OF fotOmac wa
ter, but, instead, to take spoonful from
any of the puddles that occur upon culti-
waited ground-just such puddles as are
found about our celery, cucumber, cante-
loupe and watermelon patches. He would
explain, too, that the germ of typhoid
like all other germs. is of vegetable orr
gin and thrives best under those condi-
tions which conduce to vegetation. He
would tell us, Also that the germ is so
very minute that it can and does pass
into the capillaries Of such plants as are
grown in it's vicinity, and that by the
consumption of such plants without first
cooking them the germs are introduced
into the alimentary tract of the genus
