Boil Your Drinking Water.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
A few things to remember about the
water of the Mississippi river:
The great cities of Minneapolis, st
Paul and all others situated on the riv
er are pouring millions of gallons o.
filth into the river daily. All of these
cities have cases of typhoid fever ev
cry day of every year, the baeilla OF
which abides in the dejecta OF the
patient and is generally discharged In
to the river. This bacilla, the bacillus
typhosus, is able to survive in the wa
ter although 1t does not multiply
therein and it has great vitality, not
affected by freezing or thawing. 1t is
the principal means of conveying ty-
phoid fever to people, and more fire.
quently through the medium of water
than in any other way.
Water containing the bacillus typho-
sus does not purify itself and the ba-
cillus cannot be filtered from water
by any ordinary means. The mortality
from typhoid fever is just as great
today as it was hundred years ago.
Boiling the water will destroy the
bacilla of every disease. Hence, boil
your drinking water.
