recovering from typhoid, he declares, be-
come bacillus carriers. While subject to
considerable variation, the incidence Of
typhoid, he says. in this part OF the coun-
try is from $50 to 200 cases per 10000
population.
This would imply" he adds, from 300
to 400 cases each year among 10000 per-
sons coming in contact with the milk sup
piled to New York City. II only per
cent of these become chronic carriers, we
should have six to eight new carriers de-
veloped each year. We have no data
whatsoever on the average time for which
a carrier remains such. One Of the first
cases reported in the literature related to
a woman who had her typhoid infection
nineteen years prior to her discovery as
a carrier. / have reported a case In
which the carrier had had his typhoid
infection forty-six years before. He re-
manned such until his death.
Even assuming that fifteen years is
the average period for which carrier
remains such, this gives us the startling
total OF 80 to 100 typhoid carriers now
probably menaclng the milk supply OF
this city.

"No more than in the case Of vaccina-

mend that persons subject themselves to
the treatment every three or five years.

Infection In any other way than by efii-
Client pasteurizaton."
The carrier" brings to mind the case
Of Typhoid Mary" who recently instl-
tuted suit against the Department OF
Health for damaging her career as
cook. Previous to the time during which
she was kept in a sort of exile by the de-
partment she had been a cook in many
households. Wherever she went typhoid
fever followed her. Although she had
suffered from the disease many years
previous to the time she was appre-
hended, the germs were said to have
still been very lively In her system all
that time. Eventually she was examined
and the blood tests revealed startling
things, the authorities said, and there
after Mary did no more cooking.
There is no telling how many car
riers" are loose in this country at the
present time This point was emphasized
by the army medical authorities In de-
handing compulsory incubation Of all
troops. 1t was held out as the one means
by which the carriers" could be cir
cumvented. That is one OF the reasons
advanced by the Department of Health

clans request the cultures.

to pay for il, and free where they can
not NEGOTIATIONS will be given, at the
borough offices of the department, as
well as at the main office, at Centre and
Walker streets"
DIR. Waters said the conclusions Of the
department were based on the results Of
more than one hundred thousand i'm
munizations. Official committees ap-
pointed by the governments of England,
Germany, France and the United states,
he declared, had investigated the matter,
and all united in recommending the EN-
ployment Of this immunizng treatment
as a rational and practical method OF
diminishing typhoid.
In the circular TO be sent TO the physi-
clans Of the city the following conclusions
are set forth:
First-Practice confers a notable i'm
munity against typhoid infection
SecOnd-It reduces by tnree-quarters
the case incidence in groups Of ind
viduals who have submitted TO this
method OF immunizaton.
Third-There is only half the mortality
among immunized persons.
Fourth-It is less likely TO occur after
immunizatIon, and when II does II will
be a milder form.
As personal contact with typhoid fever
is one OF the greatest causes for its
spread, the department will recommend
tsaSt all physicians, nurses, orderlies and
e.s--s in hospitals where such cases are
treated subject themselves to the treat
ment.

INFECTED MILK A PERIL.

In times past much Of New York City's
typhoid has come from infected milk.
The water supply, except during the epi-
demic Of 1901 has been singularly free
from infection. The control OF the milk
supply Is, according 10 Health Commits
sioner Lederle, one OF the most important
public health problems. New York I'M
dertakes practically the whole supervision
Of its supply, and the latest grading plan
having been enforced by the Health Com
missioner, he hopes greatly TO reduce the
number of typhoid cases here The great
cot agent. he says, is pasteurization. and
the new grading plan calls for the pas
teurization Of all milk sold In the city
except certain high grades.
Through special Investigations carried
on by the local Department Of Health

"Statisticaily this may be tested another
way. Some time ago l had occasion To
study the typhoid fever incidence OF a
group Of dairy farms from which infec-
ton was thought to have developed Al
together 100 dairy farms were visited, and
on these the total population, including
household and hired help, was S1s. The
total number OF individuals among this
number who gave a history of typhoid
fever at some time in their lives was
twenty-six, and five others gave history
of a disease which may have been ty-
phold fever but which was called either
grip, or acute billousness or typhoid
pneumonia.
LET us say, therefore. that 100 dairies
yielded typhoid histories in % instances,
and that there are approximately 10000
dairies supplying New York. II the same
incidence holds good for all diaries, we
should have 30 times IS instances, /, e..
$3.50 persons giving typhoid histories. Two
per cent estimated as carriers would mean
lij carriers on the diaries supplying New
York.
AT this point attention may be called
to regulation which We have enforced
for some time in dealing with typhoid
fever on dairy farms or among employees
of creameries. When such a person has
typhoid fever not only do We insist on
rigid quarantine, but we also refuse to
allow him to return to work in the dairy
or creamery until after three consecutive
meteorological examinations have shown

COMPULSORY INCUBATION.

On August Is, 1911, it was made com
pulsory in the American army for every
officer and enlisted man under forty-h'c
years Of age to submit 70 the minimizing
treatment. II had previously been trieu
Tor year, voluntarily, with excellent re-
suits. The action Of Secretary OF war
stimson in making it compulsory iol-
lowed the recommendations TO that erect

and Major General Leonard WOOD. Dur
Ing the army maneuvres in Texas IN
aarch, 1911, 1900 men were lnocuiateu'

army medical authorities that II immuh-

And what is the typhoid situation in
New York City?
There is a lower death rate here from
the disease than in Boston, Chicago,
Washington and Philadelphia. But there
is a much higher death rate from the dis
case than is shown I'm London, Paris, Vi
emma, Hamburg or Berlin. In Northern
Europe, in the years 1909 and 1910, thirty
three OF the principal cities, with an ag-
gregate population OF 81 10000. had an
average typhoid death rate Of So per lco,
900 population, whereas in the same time
in fifty cities In the United States, with
a NNiiIbINNh ptfhioAAblA VI ~'tNNgHNFaf wv
typhoid death rate per 10000 was -.
There were in 1910 in this country. it was
estimated by federal authorities, 5000
deaths from the scourge.
But New York. In the last twelve years
there have been reported in the greater
city A., les cases of typhoid. There were
1855 deaths. The death rate per 10000
was therefore Ill, as against only 80 In
Berlin, rs IN Hamburg and in London.
Recently Dr. Charles +. BOlduan, Of the
Department Of Health in this city. pointed
out that there were a considerable num-
Der Of cases never reported.
For the last ten years the city Of Nj
agara Falls has had death rate Of 10.

bacilli."
From Investigations made DR.. Bolduan
suggests that similar methods should be
applied in the case Of cooks and walters
where they have had typhoid.
There has been no typhoid outbreak as
a result of the city's water supply since
1907. The water is treated with hypo-
chloride OF lime, so as TO avoid any dam
ger from water-borne diseases. Eventu-
ally this will give way to the Jerome Park
filters, plans for which are about COM
pleted. This will be the largest filtration
plant in the world, and will cost about
100000. 1t will take about three years
to complete the work. There will be eighty
mechanical filters having net altering
area of 81 acres.
