for which statistics are availa BILE.
The aggregate number OF cases OF
typhoid fever for the first nine months
OF the calendar year 1913 was like
wise less than the number for the
corresponding months Of any pre-
vious year. Only 4.0l2 cases were
reported from October l. 1913, to
September 80. 1914, and the total
number estimated for the same period
was 1850.

State. In 1ao9-lo these figures de-
creased TO 6.771 and 11.s43 respect

s. asa and esti mated eases ii.s03. For
1912, 4,60s cases were reported
and s.470 estimated. This was at the
time low level and and was attrib-
uted in large degree to the unusually
fayora BILE weather conditions. In
1923 when the spring was early
and the summer hot, the number of
cases increased above the record for
1sl1-12 and reached 5.s3s reported

yer means not only a great reduction
in sickness but a positive saving OF
human life. Had conditions in Vir-

were in that report year. the boards
figures show that 2.1s0 persons who
have altogether escaped typhoid fever
would during the same period have
died of it.
1T is needless to remark" said an
officer OF the board today. in announc-
ing the figures for 1884. that this
notable result was only possible
through the activity and interest of
the people of the State in matters of
public health. We had only So per
cent as much typhoid as in 10000
because the people have learned how
they may prevent the disease and are
applying that knowledge, We could
