UNWORR[ED By TYPHOID
DR.. Darlington. after Conference,
Still Thinks LO1C Water the Cause.

Cr Thomas Darlington and one of the officials or
the Water Board talked over the typhoid situation
ut the offices of the Board OF Health yesterday
afternoon The Health Commissioner again reit-
Grated his statement that the sudden incresss in
the number OF typhoid cases was due to the low
ness OF the water in the streams and lakes sup
plying the city with water. DR. Darlington SAID
that I'm the one neighborhood where there had been
the greatest number of cases there might be some
trouble with the water mains in that district.
This was not the conclusion drawn by the repre-
sentative of the Water Board VINO believed that
it was fy infection than anything else While
admitting that the investigation now being carried
might go to show that Ay infection was one OF
the causes DR. Darlington said there were four
causes In all for the neighborhood between 9th
and 10Th streets on the East Side showing so many
cases, with often three or more Of them IN one
family. The four reasons given by the Health COM
missioner We're bathing in the river near sewers
flies carrying infection from Uncean premises. i'm
pure water and infection from milk. To the last
named milk investigation had shown that il was
all right he said
In speaking of bathing in the river Or. Darling
ton said:
"I believe many cases have emsnated from bath
ing I'm the East River near the outlets OF sewers
This can infect whole family. Then there can BE-
contamination from i'll kept stables. where flies
can be the source OF the trouble. The department
is always on the lookout for badly kept stables
Whatever is the cause for the increased number
IL
is sand filtered that It can be eliminated as pri-
mary cause of infection. Let the water be made
absolutely free from npurity. then the department.
has that much in it's favor. l have never gone 10
the watershed on a trip of inspection that have
not found contamination from some source finding
It's way into the city water. However. this Is only
the usual yearly increase, and the cases are not
nearly 80 many as last year. The department. Is
making thorough Investigation
DR. Darlington said on a number OF ferns he had
visited upstate he had found the wells supplying
drinking water located in the most unsanitaTy
piaces When he asked the owner why he used
that water he was often told that II had been IN
use by the family for years and only oc-
caSouaI1y was there any typhoid in the family.
AS vacation boarders often stay at these farms
thov are as liable be the "occasionat NlcttnS as
the members of the farmers family.
After an examination at the Board OF Health OF
the chart showing the location of typhoid cases
the Water Board officials said that 1t showed that
tho greatest number OF cases were IN districts
where there we're the most flies.
The total number Of typhoid cases in 1893 was
4s5 with % deaths while in 1907. the year there
was a slight epidemic in The Bronx. there were
22S7 cases and 3T2 deaths.
