The state board of health has just
issued the following circular on
typhoid and how TO prevent IL:
Notwithstanding the numerous warn
ings that have been issued and the Sc
we're lesson Of last years epidemic in
salt Lake City and other localities, the
death rate in the state from typhoid
fever for the month of July was 90
per cent in excess Of that for the cor
responding month of last year and the
number OF cases reported thus far in
August indicates AN increasing preVa-
lence.
The following suggestions are sub
mitted with the hope that they may
aid IN limiting the threatened serious
outbreak;
Typhoid fever is an infectious or
communicable disease caused solely
by specific germ called the typhoid
bacillus which Is passed from the boa!
In the discharges from the bowels or
bladder. Preventive measures begih
with the disinfection of these dis
charges and If properly carried OUT IN
all cases no other measures would be
required but unfortunately, for V-ious
reasons this result Is not attained.
Some cases are of so mild type as 10
escape discovery, the so-called walking
typhoid being an example. Others nave
spread the infection i'm the early stage
before a diagnosis has been made. \
,hIrd class comprises a small percent
age in which the germs continue To be
nrcsent Indefinitely I'm the discharges
Of A person having had the disease.
These cases are called typhoid car
riers The cases, however, winch are
usually responsible are the ordinary
ones in which. through Ignorance or
Indifference the proper disinfection OF
discharges has been neglected. Every
case OF typhoid fever results from the
failure to disinfect discharges from
former case.
The germs gain entrance TO the BODY
i'm water or food which mas been con
taminated Water becomes contain
mated through drainage into wells
ftom infected privy vaults or from the
surface of the ground where discharges
have been deposited and washed INTO
streams notable example OF the
latter occurred in Plymouth "a,
where an epidemic OF l'ooo cases was
caused by drinking water from
stream on the banks of which the dis
charges from a case of the disease had
been deposited the previous season and
were washed into the stream by
spring thaw
Contaminated milk and raw foods

of sickness where typhoid is suspected
but the diagnosis is In doubt, the
physician should instruct the family 90
observe the same precautions as In an
unmistakable case OF the disease.
Upon notification. the health officer
should visit the premises and instruct
the attendants In their duties. He
should inspect aid cause the disinfec-
ton of the privy vault. Make careful
investigation to discover the source OF
the disease especially as to milk and
water supply. conditions of surround
ing premises, etc. Visit the premises
frequently TO satisfy himself that pre-
cautionary measures are faithfully and
intelligently carried out. and strict
enforce the lew requiring prompt
notification by physicians.
All discharges should be carefully dis
infected In accordance with the rules
Of the state board OF heath. In the
absence of n water closet the disin-
fected discharges should be buried, or
II deposited In a vault should be thor
oughly covered with lime. Flies should
be destroyed and excluded from the
sickroom; all soiled linen should be
Immediately placed in boiling water
or antiseptic solution. Dishes used by
the patient should be immersed In boil
ing water. The hands OF attendants
and patients should be frequently
bathed in an antiseptic solution.
An ordinance should be enacted i'm
every county and town requiring that
all privy vaults should be so construct
ed as to exclude flies, and that their
contents shall be dislnfected by sprin-
Killing fresh lime over the surface az

should be prohibited by law and a con-
slant warfare on flies should be main

In localities where a pure water sys-
tenn can be secured. IL should be in
stalled without delay. In the meantime.
where the use OF well and ditch water
is compelled. IL should be boiled.
Active and efficient health officers
should be employed and properly remu-
nerated for their services. No better
investment OF public funds can be
made Typhoid fever and other pre-
ventable disea ses are an expensive and
unnecessary tax upon community
without reference TO the suffering and
death involved.
The following solutions are recon-
mcnded for the disinfection of dis
charges which should be received in a
vessel containing quart of the same
and allowed TO remain at least an hour
before emptying;
