Virginia has had less typhoid in tho
last twelve months than in any one
year during the regime of the State
Board OF Health. according to a. bulIe-
tin issued yesterday by tho board. Only
4,o12 cases were reported, and the esti-
mated total for the year is 1850.

1T is needless to remark said anG

figures for 1s13-14, that this notable
result was only possible through the
activity and interest OF the people OF,
the State in matters of public health.

Aside from this widespread Interest
and cooperation In improving sanitary
