The present agitation relative to
| the epidemic of sickness that has ap-
peared in Richmond this summer, and
which probably has afflicted between
| 100 and 200 persons, has resulted in
some question as to whether the wa
ter supplied by the. Richmond Water
Company is in any way responsible.
There were opinions expressed that
the disease which had afflicted many
Richmond people, nigh be typhoid fe-
yer in mild form, though it was gem
orally characterized as summer
grip" for want of better name.
Because of the fact that it had been
declared by some that the disease was
typhoid fever, the cause, it was natu-
rally inferred, must be traced to the
water, and DR.. Davis, as president of
the State Board of Health, has at in
tervals during the past or SO, sent
samples of the city water to the State
Chemist for analysis. DIR. Davis
said to the Palladium last night:
THE epidemic of sickness in Rich
mond is not typhoid fever in the opin-
ion of the physicians. None has so
diagnosed it. | have talked with DR..
Weist, DR.. Wampler, DR.. Marvel DR..
Charles S. Bond, and other physicians
and all of them stated to me that the
disease was not typhoid fever and
did not resemble it. OF the sam
gles of the city water that | sent to
the state chemist for analysis, the
last two have not been reported up
an, but on those that have been re-
ported upon, great difference in the
character of the water, is noted by the
chemist, some good and some bad,
but the chemist declared also that
none of the samples of water tested
showed any signs of contamination
When asked by me whether there was
any occasion for the Richmond people
to feel alarmed over the condition of
the water, he said emphatically no,
at least not until he had completed
the tests of all samples sent him.
Prof. Barnard has been invited by the
Richmond Water Company and by
as a member of the State
Board of Health, to come to Richmond
and make a sanitary survey of the
of the city There is up
to date no occasion for alarm among
the citizens. 1t is my personal opin
ion that the sickness which has af- |
fiicted so many persons has been
brought on by the excessively hot |
days, the cool nights and irregular |
diet, a sufficient combination to cause |
the disturbances without reference |
to the water"
