There is an excessive prevalence OF
typhoid fever in the United States,
amounting in several of the larger cit
les to annual anxious epidemics. The
relationship of polluted water to
typhoid has been demonstrated sufii-
eientiy to establish this disease as one
of the disastrous results of sewage

II is. therefore, the phenomena OF
sewage pollution of streams that VIII

of pollution by drainage of rainwater.
by the rivers accumuiationS from
washing its banks and by the dts
charge of factory and mining wastes.
In the first case. the poiiution is,

Of sewage. In the second case, the
pollution is ono of the acids and other
