Without warning the cat grabbed for

from twenty-five Council Bluffs ply.

cases of typhoid in the city.
At recent meeting of the board OF
health the clerk was instructed to ask
the physicians TO supply the board
with "a full report on typhoid. giving
possible source. Fourteen replies first
received gave forty-three cases and
eight replies reported Monday gave a
total of forty-five cases. One physician
had twenty cases in. the past sixty
days. Eight new cases have been re-
ported in the past ten days. There are
yet about thirty physicians to be
heard from.
With only one or two exceptions,
the physicians say the epidemic can
be traced to the city water. Recen.
analysis of the water shows the pres.
ence of colon, and although this is not
the typhoid germ, the psychologists
say that it will cause typhoid fever.
Acting under instructions from the
board of health, the city health officer
has published notices advising all to
boil the water used for drinking.
