TYPHUS FEVER IN
 THE UNITED STATES.

Students of history, as well as read CTS of English literature of the 17th century. will recall the frequent al1u-- novels to the ship fever. Jail fever, camp fever. prison fever or famine fever, which almost invariably broke out under conditions where large num- bers of human beings were collected under unsanitary conditions, and es- pecial1y where lack of sufficient food and clothing and the other necessities of life prevailed. Later on, as sci entihc. Knowledge increased, it was recognized that the sickness described under all of these names was the same. For years, confusion existed between this disease, called typhus fever, and the more common and fa- nniliar typhoid or ''typf1us like" fe- yer. After the distinction between them was established, in this country, at least, typhus fever seemed to disap- pear and 1t was for many years re- garded as a practically extinct dis ease. In 1898, however. Dr. Brill of New York described seventeen cases 
 typhoid, but differed from it in some essential particulars. Other observ-
 CTS reported similar cases and the disease was for several years known as ttBri1Ps Disease" Ii 1912, Dr. An derson and pr. Goldberg of the United States Public Health Service proved
 that thds disease was in reality the old-time typhus fever, and that it still existed in this country. Tn g. recent issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association, pr. Anderson, who is the Director of the Hygienic Laboratory of the United States Pub is at present in the large cities of the
 United States one case of typhus to every forty-seven cases of typhoid. Ac- 1 cording to the public health reports l for 1912, typhoid occurred in six cit ies of the United States during the year as follows: New York City, B. | 3s6 cases; Baltimore, 1,067; Boston, AT; Chicago, 1.089; Philadelphia, 1,- l 620, and Washington, 607. This would 1 indicate that typhus fever is pres ent-in- these cittes to the following ex-
 tent: New York, 72 cases. Baltimore, 1 22; Boston, 10; Chicago, 22; Philadel-
 phia, s4, and Washington, 12. Re ports from the New York hospitals :n-
 dicate that this is low estimate. Tn
 the Jewish hospitals for 1910 there were twenty-two cases of typhus and
 forty five cases of typhus and forty | five cases of typhoid. In 1911, ten
 cases of typhus and forty-six cases of
 typhoid, and in 1912, nineteen cases
 of typhus and forty-four cases of ty- phoid. Fortunately the disease has
 a low mortality and shows but little tendency to spread, except under con-

Lord Stamfordharn, better known on this side as Sir Arthur Bigge, who succeeded Lord Knollys as King Georges private secretary, was born sixty-fodr years ago yesterday, the son of a clergyman. The post of private secretary to the British mon arch is not, as some may suppose, purely decorative, but entails hard and onerous duties that are never fin ished. The confidential reports of the Prime Minister, the Foreign Secre- tary and other officials pass through his hands. Matters of great import to the country and the empire come daily to his attention. and he discuss es them with the King who dictates the replier. Lord Stamfordham served in the army. taking part in the Zulu war, before he entered the ser- vice of Queen Victoria as assistant private secretary, and later, as private secretary He was secretary to the Prince of Wales from 1901 to 1910.
