BOARD PROBING
TYPHOID EPIDEMIC
Enlists Aid of City PhySi-

of All Fever.

The special board appointed by Sur
geon General Wyman. OF the Public
Health and Marine Hospital Service. at
the request Of the District Commission
ers. TO investigate the typhoid fever cpl
demic in the District of Columbia. has
been very busy preparing plans for the
investigation. It has divided the city
into districts and in a day or two the
work will be actively pushed. The board
is now preparing a letter, addressed TO
the physicians OF Washington. asking
their cooperation and inviting them
to make tests Of the blood Of suspected
cases. These tests are 10 be made at
tho laboratory. The letter, which VIII
be Issued by the Surgeon General. VIII
be made public tomorrow
The suggestion made that the Public
Health and the Marine Hospital Ser
vice take charge Of the typhoid situa-
ton has met with favor among a large
number Of people, but such arrange
ment, however, could only take place
with the approval Of the local authorl-
ties. Should the Health Ofhce make
such a request IL IS not improbable that
II would be complied with. but II Is
thought the special board which was
appointed by the Surgeon General, under
the authority Of the Secretary OF the
Treasury. will be productive Of much
good and keep IN check the tendency
OF the disease to spread.
