The Typhoid Carrier

Typhoid fever is u specific infection
caused by the Typhoid bacillus. That
this organism is present in the excre-
tions OF those sick with typhoid fever
has long been known and disinfection
of such excretions has been practiced
TO prevent the spread of the disease.
Up to within few years ago how.
ever. little attention has been paid TO
the so-called Typhoid Carrier. ="
When the Board OF Health of the City
of New York discovered Typhoid
Mary. cook who. although she had
never knowingly had typhoid fever,
had been the cause of half dozen we'll
marked.epidemics she was regarded as
a scientific curiosity; but since thar
time bacteriolOgic researches have dis
closed the fact That this walking ty-
phoid incubator deserves no singular
distinction. Such typhoid carriers APP
pear TO be quite common and different
investigators have found that ia some
localities over one per cent OF the pop
ulation are typhoid carriers.
Typhoid carriers are individuals
who, although not Suffering from ty-
phoid fever, are discnarging typhoid
bacilli In their excreta. They are viz.
tually culture tubes in which con.
slant supply of germs is being devel
oped aud discharged. They are divid-
ed into two types, Its, those who have

Dear Sri have TO acknowledge

ing the rates of this society. IL is my
opinion that some such adjustment il

unnecessary hardships for the res son
that heretofore they have only been

ance Is only from month TO month.

A Compliment for the Chronicle.

Bentley, La. Oct. %, IL.
Editor COIfax Chronicle:
We see by formal notice published
in the Shreveport Times of to-day,
that Ex-Governor Blanchard has
been appointed to represent the set.
tiers in their fight against the New
Orleans Pacific Railway Co., for lands
they occupied at the time of the Ill
ing of the location of the Texas Paci-
fic railroad.
1t looks like the Chronicle has done
some good work for those poor PEG.
pie, and this writer would suggest to
every settler and friend to the set.
tiers that they now show their ap.
probation by subscribing for the
Chronicle and keeping up with this
land grant matter. The Chronicle
has given space freely, and has writ
ten some good editorials in favor oil
actiop being taken In This dispute.
The Chronicle was the first and only
paper toIfavor the appointment oil
Governor Blanchard to represent the
settlers. We are proud to know the
efforts Of the Chronicle to give as
sistance to the settlers in their fight
for their homes has been crowned
with success, and we think the peo-
pie should show their appre cia ton
OF the work done by the Chronicle
and send in their subscriptions for
the paper, and help to keep he good
work going.
Very truly yours,
