TYPHOID FEVER CLAIMS
MUCH SMALLER TOLL
Decline of 1857 Cases Re-
ported in Virginia During
Month of July.
Especial to Daily Pressl

RICHMOND, VA, Aug. 12.-Ty-
phoid fever is claiming a smaller toll
in Virginia this year than it did last
year, according TO reports of the state
health department made public today.
Physicians in rural Virginia reported
a total Of 1884 cases OF typhoid during
the month of July, 1868. while during
last month they reported only 1927
cases. showing decline OF 1857 in the
total number of cases.
This decrease in. the amount OF
fever is considered by health officers
here to be the greatest victory yet
gained for better health in the country
districts. A statistician of the city, in
terested in such matters. expressed
his opinion that the net savings to
the state by this decrease in the
amount of typhoid would not be less
than six hundred thorsand dollars 10
say nothing of the sorrow and death
averted.
The state health commissioner was
much elated when asked today about
the typhoid situation we owe our
knowledge of this record. he said TO
the physicians OF the state, who have
voluntarily sent US reports of all the
cases of communicable diseases ap-
pesring in their practice. Without
their cooperation We would not know
the exact situation.
When asked how he accounted for
the decrease in the cases OF typhoid
the commissioner said: 1T is not
impossible that there may be some
obscure climatic influence with which
we are not familisr. but generally
speaking, it is safe to say that the
better education Of the people regard
ing the disease is responsible for the
difference. We have striven 10 give
them full information as TO the spread
Of typhoid, and hsve told them that
where sewerage is cared for. flies kept
from the house. proper precautions
taken and good water secured. there
is little danger Of typhoid. The people
of the state. acting on this informa-
ton have done the rest. As they see
the great advsn ages already gained.
they can be counted on to stiil further
reduce the amount Of disease. The
field inspectors Of the department are
ready to investigate Immediately eny
epidemic OF typhoid that appears and
can be called on a sny time
