TYPHOID ON INCREASE
Said To Be Due to LOzc Water and
Disease Brought from Country.

Although the number Of typhoid fever cases in
creased from IA for the week ended August q to
les for the week ended August 3 in all the bor-
oughs OF greater New York. 1t was said yesterday
at the Board of Health that August 1903. showed
q decrease OF Sc over August. 1903, the year
in which the lowest number of typhoid cases had
been registered in the city
The marked increase OF the last week in August
IS attributed in part by the Health Department to
the Homecoming of many persons. some OF whom
develop typhoid after getting back TO New York
Another reason advanced il the low water at this
time OF the year. Speaking OF tho city water. Dr.
Walter Bensel the sanitary superintendent, said:
The New York water supply is not pure as 1t
should be. even when at its best. and at this
time OF year, when all the lakes and rivers are
low. the contamination in the water is more con-
centrated Therefore, an increase In the number
of typhoid cases is usual for this season OF the
year.
There is getting away from the fact that
the sewage from little towns upstate causes Ger
tain irnpurity in the city water supply. New YORK
will have really pure water until big sand
filters used"
When asked IL he thought persons returning from
the country brought typhoid with them, DIR. Bensel
said:
Yes. they do sometimes. but most Of the cases
are developed right here in the city. Because 1t
happened that large number Of cases were re-
ported from block last week does not signify
either that something tho matter with that
neighborhood. and yet many persons think So 1t
caused by the water, perhaps. more than by
anything else
DIR. Bensel said that some persons contracted the
disease after coming back from their vacations
through carelessness.
Il don't believe the milk supply has anything TO
do with it. though he said There is iso-
lated case now and then caused by milk. AS
have said, OF those returning the city
may not develop case OF typhoid contracted in
the country until they get home. But soon as
the streams and lakes have their normal supply OF
water there will be less danger than there is now
In the Borough of Manhattan there IS
OF typhoid for the week ended August q. while
for August 2s there were 10 cases. The Bronx had
Sc for last week, against the week before. In
Brooklyn there 50 cases, against 25; in
Queens. is cases, against 3. In Richmond there
