TYPHOID CARRIERS

NOW that the quality OF the public
water supply has been greatly im-
proved and the pratcice of milk pas
feurization has been widely introduc-
cd, outbreaks Of typhoid attributed
to typhoid carriers are becoming
more conspicuous than formerly. al
though probably they are mot really
more frequent. A remarkable epi-
demic due to~food injected by a car
rier was recently reported by Saw
yer In the Journal Of the American
Medical Association. and while this
was perhaps exceptional in the nuna-
ber of persons infected at one time
At emphasizes the grave danger OF al
lowing carrirs to have to doewith the
preparation and handling Of The food
intended for general consumption.
The still more recent typhoid out
break at Lehigh University with
more than fifty cases and several
deaths has been traced likewise by
the Pennsylvania State Health De-
partment to kitchen employee who
proved to be a heavy carrier. Such
instances--and they are multiplying
fast suggest that wherever feasible
employees handling the food are liza
BILE to spread the infection and should
be examined for a possible typhoid
reaction in the blood; In case the re-
action Is positive and even where IL
is negative, but there is definite
history of typhoid fever, bacterial ex
animation for typhoid fever should
be made. Application of the tests
could probably be made with little
Inconvenience in connection with tie
student dining halls of many Of the
educational institutions where proper
bacteriological facilities ana expert
service exists. We know Of at least
one American University where such
a routine of examination Of the em-
pIoyees concerned in the handling Of
food has been practiced for several
years past. The disaster at Lehigh
shows that such precautions are JUS
titled. and that with our present
knowledge of typhoid causation some
responsibility in this regard may be
Justly expected from the college au-
thorities. There are, also many hos
pitaIs, sanitariums. and public insti-
futions, in which the necessary faciI-
titles and skill for such examinations
