of the most important things to know
about this germ is that 1t must come
from the body of one Infected by means
of the discharges from that persons

Hence, IL these discharges from the

til the germs therein were dead md

water the danger from this disease
would be greatly minimized.
The doctor explained that n l Fer
cent solution of chloride OF lime was
to be used in disinfecting the urine and
eXcreta from typhoid patients, and that
lf the treatment with this one per cent
solution were kept up for one hour
then the germs were all dead and tho
eXcreta could be disposed of into the
sewers and cesspoolS without danger
This chloride OF lime is inexpensive and
can be had at all drug and grocery
stores and should be used freely, he
said.
In disinfecting the clothing of pa
tlents a per cent solution of carbolc
acid is to be first used and when the
clothing is thoroughly wet by that solu-
ton then 1t may be taken out and
placed in a per cent solution of the
same acid and allowed to remain for
one hour.
Formalin is the disinfectant most em-
ployed for the reason that 1t Is very
effective. being harmless to animal
life, but deadly to germs. The burning
of sulphur is non-effective In the de-
struction of germ life, though 1t will

TYPHOID EPIDEM|CS
EASILY PREVENTED
Er. y. y. Hanson Delivered Fourth
Lecture on Health in Third
Ward Yesterday.

DR.. A. n. Hanson, before the parents
class of the Third ward yesterday, de-
livered the fourth lecture of his series
on health. DR. Hanson said in part;
The most important consideration for
the people of this region of country, III
a health line. Is the prevention OF the
dread disease. typhoid. In the first place
this is true in the fact that typhoid is
the greatest cause of death. and is also
the greatest factor in the suffering of
mankind on sickness.
1t has been said truly that the pre-
vcntion of typhoid is the sign of the
sanitary intelligence OF community.
for the disease, typhoid. though so
common and sad in its results, is most
easily prevented. The doctor said that
the recent epidemic of typhoid in this
city easily could have been prevented
and the people. of this community saved
the loss in loved ones and otherwise
II those in positions of authority had
had the situation properly In hand.
There are two ways of guarding
against the ravages of the disease.
First, the careful provision of condi-
tions OF Infection; second. the produc-
tlon of immunity. The cause OF typhoid
is small parasite restricted to the
human body, which can multiply from
a single bacterium to 5000, 900 bacteria
in a proper medium within the space
of "A hours. In the fact that the disease
Is purely human. it resembles leprosy.
lower animals are not subject Hence
it ought to be easily handled
The cause of disease was discovered
in Germany In 1884 during an epidemic
and the parasite was described so that
now we know it and can see it and can
examine infected tissues and make
sure whether or not 1t Is actually pres
ent. 1t is very motile, and Its move
ments are accomplished by means of
tiny hlaments. or iagellae. 1t does not
live long outside the human body, and
is killed by strong sunlight and by high
temperature. but extreme cold does
not suffice to kill, only to suspend Its
operation for the time being.
1t is likely to be prevalent in artcsian
wells, but the doctor explained 1t is
not carried either In the air or In
clothing as are other diseases. On=
