between Champion Jack Johnson and

TYPHOID FEVER AT OTTAWA.
How the Epidemic is Accounted for
and the Lessons Drawn From II.

The report ON the epidemic of ty
phoid fever occurring in the city Of
ottawa in the early spring of this year
has been issued recently by the conf
mlttec on public health of the Cana
dian commission on conservation The
immediate cause of the epidemic was
the infection of the water supply by
poliuting matter. which was sucked
through joints of the intake, an old
aqueduct having been very improper
~ used as a sewer The pollution of
the water supply began at about the
middle of December. and was mainly
due to the unusual lowness OF the riv-
er and to the freezing of the shallow
places TO the bottom, thus diNerting
the currents of polluting matter direct
" into the water supply. The pollu
ton was preventable and was due in
the first instance to carelessness, the
conversion of an old aqueduct into
sewer and, secondly, to the neglect of
the municipal authorities to follow the
recommendation of Mr.. Hazen on Oc-
tober :, to treat the water supply with
hypochlorite of lime. The continuance
of the epidemic was due to various
causes, the most conspicuous of which
We're the ineificiency of the hypoehlo-
rite to effectualy sterilize the water
until about February y; to contact
With persons i'll OF the disease; TO pre-
Nrntublc insanitary conditions; to de-
fectiVe plumbing.
The lessons taught by the epidemic
were that water Is generally the chief
mode by which typhoid fever is spread.

in ottawa there were filthy slums in

limo is an efficient temporary purify
ing agent of water. but that in order
to insure IA pure water supply a re-
liable filtration system must be in
stalled. Tho case of Ottawa, like
those Of Montreal and Toronto. and Of
many cities Of the United States, only
goes to show that so long as laxity is
observed in the safeguarding of the
water supply just SO long will typhoid
fever prevail. The commission of con-
SerVation of Canada has published a
report during the past few weeks re-
latiEg to the conservation of agricul-
tural lands, fisheries. game and min
erals From n peruSal of the report it
may be gathered that in the agricul-
tural districts of Canada the domestic
water supply is mainly procured from
wells. That in a large number of in
stances these wells are unprotected
