The Tunhnid Cases

Numerous reports have been in circula-
ton the past two OF three weeks about the
number of cases of typhoid fever in Mount
Holly and the Inability to discover any
cause. The fact that Mount Holly physi-
clans have some typhoid fever patients
of that disease here. AS near as we can
ascertain there are six cases of the disease
in the Burlington County Hospital, two
of which are residents of Mount Holly
one from Water street, the other from
Monroe street The others are from out
of town, one being a Camden patient who
was taken soon after coming here on a
visit, whose symptoms were well de-
veloped when he entered the institution
We doubt if half dozen cases of ty-
phoid fever can be found in the town
Two patients who it was feared were
going to have the disease have recovered,
after slight indisposition with other trou
bic. As to ''the inability to discover a
cause, F" there has been little trouble on
that point, as in nearly every instance
where there has been case of this char
acter the use Of polluted we'll water has
been traced directly as the cause. The
unusual rains have saturated the earth
and drainage that has usually been carried
away has probably sunk into the ground
and contaminated springs and wells. Re-
ports from all over the country show
prevalence of typhoid fever and COMPARE
sons prove that instead of having any
thing to depreciate Mount Holly has cause
for congratulation Oh the freedom it en-
joys from not only that disease but from
all other ailments.
