HEALTH OFFICER At KENDALL.
Prevalence of Typhoid Fever There
EeceSSitated His Presence.

Last Friday Health Officer Henry W.
McCOmas, of Oakland. went to Kendall
where there are at present seven cases
of typhoid fever, for the purpose of
making.an observation and to tr4ce the
Cause OF the outbreak TO its source.
DR.. McCOmas upon investigation gave
1t as his opinion, after his return to
Oakland, that there is a reasonable sus-
picion that the cause of the disease is
found in the water supply, it being his
opinion that pollution exists and to
gnard other communities against ty-
phoid he has requested this paper to
print the following terse suggestions:
Whenever occasion TO suspect the pu-
rity of water arises, it would be well to
boil all water for drinking purposes;
also all water used in cleansing cooking
and eating utensils, milk receptacles,
etc.
Whenever and wherever a case of ty-
phold exists the nurse or attendant in
charge OF the patient should be eX-
tremely careful in burying the excre-
tons after having thoroughly disinfect-
ed the same with a solution of sulphate
of copper or chloride Of lime, both of
which are efficient destroyers of typhoid
germs and are easily and cheaply pro-
cured. The deposits should be made in
a pit and covered with earth immedi-
ately. Care and good judgment should
govern the location Of the pit so that it
would be impossible for it to drain into
wells or springs.

General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.
