that the others will stay nearly as

whether to jump in and try to kill the

TYPHOID CAUSES

The number of cases which have been

are inclined to the opinion that this is

there is practically no supervision of

If this is so, the Board of Health should
give the matter immediate attention.

of Gary, that the Board of Health ap

even though small, delinquencies which
exist.
on the other hand in so far as the
present epidemic is concerned, a num-
Der of Gary physicians are disinclined
to state positively that these cases are
typhoid. They state that in every in
sance a high emperaure has been OBJ
servable in the patient at too early a
stage in their illness.
1t is pointed out. however, that a
large proportion OF theses cases all
come from one district and that this
would lead to the belief that it is an
epidemic caused by some special cause.

very bad shape. on some days they
have been very nearly unbearable. Es-
