EPIDEMIC
GROWING

With at least 80 cases of
typhoid fever In the city to-
day, and more cases being
reported each day, the ty-
phoid epidemic caused by
Tacoma's recent water IA
mine has assumed alarming
proportions.
Orders were issued at the Ia
coma General hospital today for
the vaccination OF every nurse
with typhoid anti-toxin. Health
Officer Henry A. Wall announced
that all members of the health
department would be vaccinated
Immediately, and he urged all his
friends and aequaintanees today
to take the same preventative
measure. Vaccination with ty-
phoid anti-toxin is a positive pre-
ventative, according to Health
Officer Wall.
Nearly all of the typhoid cases
have come from workers on the
tideflats. The health office has
no doubt that the typhoid was
caused from the pumping of Puy-
allup river water Into city mains
at the time of the Green river
break.
DR.; Wall had reports of %
cases of typhoid today. Many of
the cases are dangerous. No
deaths have occurred since the
epidemic began.
