TYPHOID
Fever Epidemic Raging in the
Town of West Union, Dodd-
ridge County.

PARKERSBURG, July 16-West
Union recently has been confronted
with serious situation and still is.
owing to the typhoid fever epidemic
which has the town in its grip. There
are at present Eve or six cases Of the
fever in st. Joseph's hospital that
have been brought in from that place
for treatment, and another was
added to the list today.
In addition to those being treated
here all of the available nurses here
not attached to any of the hospitals
have been sent to West Union TO
nurse patients i'll of the fever, and
others have been secured from other
points.
The conditions prevailing there.
according to DR.. w. J. DAVIDSON, OF
this city, one of the members of the
public health council Of the state
have arisen from the fact that the
streets of the village are being torn
up to be paved with concrete, which
has caused the gems of fifth thai
naturally accumulate in the streets
to fly through the air. Such condi-
lions as this have been known to oc-
cur in other smaller towns as re:
suit of tearing up the streets, where
they do not have the BENEFITS OF
sewer systems, and where there il
not so much attention paid to sani-
tary matters as there are In the
cities.
DR.. ]. ]. Farnsworth, Of French
ton, another member of the public
health council, has already visited
west Union to investigate the condi-
lions there, and DR.. Davidson will 60
there in a day or two for further m
vestigation.
one fortunate feature of the stu
alton there, it is said, is that the aver
age case OF typhoid fever Is Of mild
type, although there are some very
critical cases there at the present
time.
