TYPHOID FEVER A PREVENTA.

1t is rather startling to be toll,
that in 1909 there were more case,

as that of India, than there were
cases of plague in India; and tina
there were four times as many cases
or typhoid in the United States as
cases of Cholera in Russia durine
period including the epidemic OF
1910. These figures are taken from
an article by Mclaughlin of the Ma,
rlne Hospital Service, who saws
that we consider with apprehension
the countries in which cholera and
plague occur frequently and call
them pest-ridden countries, but do
not consider the problem of typhoid
fever in our own country with suffi-
Gent seriousness. He gives tables
to show that within the registration
area in the United States, in fifty
cities having an aggregate popula.
ton of over 2O,OOO,OOO the average
typhoid death-rate for 1910 was %
per hundred thousand inhabitants.
YIN one city in that year it amount
ed to S6.7 per hundred thousand, and
IN several cities it amounted to As

OF Is to Is per hundred thousand
constitutes rather serious reflec-
tlon on the sanitary management or
