PLANS CAMPAIGN
AGAINST TYPHOID
Health Department Will Urge
Sewage Disposal as Crucial
Point.

Full announcement of the plans Of
the state Board of Health for the con-
troll of typhoid fever this summer was
made yesterday, together with a state
ment that the chief fight of the year
will be for sanitary methods OF sewage
disposal to protect the state from the
summer scourGc."
AS heretofore. 1t was announced, AS
sistant Commissioner \. w. Freeman
will be In direct charge OF the field
campaign against typhoid and will
have such assistants as the funds of
the board will permit DR.. Freeman
Will have his headquarters in this city
during the coming summer and will
direct from here the Investigation of
particular epidemics. The study OF
rural typhoid. which has been carried
on for two years, will be continued
this summer though it Is not now
planned to open field laboratory.
We have never believed" said an
officer of the board yesterday, that
our staff of investigators can control
the health of the Commonwealth un-
aided. We must rely upon the intelli-
and must bend our energies to giving
10 every citizen the information
wherewith he can protect himself. For
this reason. during the coming sum-
mer. we are going to Issue a large
supply OF literature on the prevention
ol OiScHSe, especially OIL LEnnOlQ IeNer
and hookworm disease. This. we shall
try to palce in the hands of all the peo-
pie.
The truth we are now striving to
Impress is that the control of typhoi
fever is directly question OF sewage
disposal. Through carelessness in this
respect, typhoid fever is spread broad
cast, where care and caution would
altogether prevent the disease. For
this reason. we are urging upon the
people the Importance OF sanitary out
houses. If every farmer and urban
citizen would see to ii that his out
house is sanitary, flies could not carry
the germs of disease. and typhoid fever
would cease to be problem. We have
a great variety of literature on the
sanitation of outhouses, all of which
can be had upon request.
Our ability to control outbreaks of
typhoid is going to depend upon the
promptness and completeness OF reports
sent us. Generally. If an outbreak Is
investigated as soon as II begins IL
can be controlled, unless all have been
exposed to infection; but where there
Is delay, no assurance of success can
be given. We are asking that every
case OF typhoid fever he reported and
are going to request the physicians to
inform us at once of every case oc-
curing in their practice. In this way
we hope 10 learn of cpidemics as soon
as they appear"
