DECREASE IN TYPHOID
REPORTED FOR VIRGINIA
State Board Of Health Shows 800
Less In august Than I'm Same
Month Last Year.
HIGH ESTIMATE is GIVEN
Dr.. Williams Points Out Possibilities
in Further Lowering Rate-Says
Present Generation May See Entire
Disappearance of Summer Blight

There were 500 less cases of typhoid
fever in Virginia during the month
OF August than there were during the
corresponding month of last year, ac-
cordinS 10 an estimate OF tho state
board of Health arrived at through
, PHYSICIANS reports just complied 1T its
( Offices That is. for every 100 cases
estimated to have been in the state
during August. 1914. there were only
seventy-thrcc this year. showing Il de-
"line of 81 per cent in the number
OF cases of the dreaded summer dis
case. This is the lowest record for
the month known in the state since
the Board of Health began TO COM
pile statistics.
Tie estimates of tho board. which
have been computed on the same basis
for seven years. take the number Of
cases reported by physicians and al
low to every physician not reporting
The same average number of cases as
me physicians who do report. Thus.
during August, 1918. l.l23 OF the 1891
physicians in active practice i'm the
state reported S6t cases of typhoid an
average OF .I6' cases for each ply
stefan On this busis the estimated
number of cases would be l,0G6. In
1919. the estimated number OF cases
OF typhoid for August was 1859 1t Is
generally thought that the estimates
ior both years are a little high. mas
much as most physicians who have
typhoid in their practice report II. But
the board has preferred to keep the
.ame basis OF estimate in order that the
igures for the current year may show
accurately the relative progress or the
State in its tight against typhoid.
