Cause of Endemic
Visiting Georgetown.

A public. health expert made minute
study of the food supply of that par
ticular section of the city. He found
nothing suspicious until it came to the
milk This was all furnished by two
dairies, which bought their milk from
outside farms. Investigation revealed
the fact that on one farm, which sup
piled a small quantity of milk to both
dairies,~ lived a woman who had had
typhoid fever several years before and
was still disseminating the germs
Several hundred cases of the disease
were thus traced to a woman living on
a remote farm fully twenty miles away
She handled the small quantity of milk
from her farm. Each dairy mixed it
with the other milk. thus polluting the
entire amount. The stoppage of milk
from that farm was the chief remedial
measure required to check the epidemic
- Dr., Lumsden built up his system of
typhoid detective work upon a study

The TYPHOID DETECTIVE
By Frederic J. Haskin.

Typhoid fever is like crime, in that
it may theoretically be eradicated 1ro"
human society. II all persons OF GRIM
inal tendency were hunted out, con-
fined and prevented from reproducing,
and il the condition of poverty ana
disease which produced them were
eliminated, crime would cease to eN-
ist Likewise, il the last elusive
typhoId germ could be traced to its
ultimate source, and all the insanitary
conditions that bred it removed for
all time. there would be no more
typhoid.
In either case. vigilant police and de-
tective work is the chief requisite.
Governments have always hunted GRIM
inals systematically, with 1orces or
ganized for the purpose. put they nave
lust begun to realize the importance OF
hunting ana destroSihS iie@'"i
the same way.
The United States public health serv-
ice now has regular typhoid detective
force, (which devotes itself entlreiy 10
the tracing Of infection to ITS source
In order to prove to the state govern
ments the value Of this work, the pup
lie health service has now selected IN
each of nine different states typical
county which is to be entirely freed OF
typhoid infection.

Germ detection is, of course, not a
new thing. Doctors and sanitarians
have always at
Germ nefectinn tempted to dis
Not New Thing. Of infection dur
ing epidemics. But this germ detection
has now become a science of recognized
methods and remarkable efficiency.
The germ sleuths of the public health
service now seldom fail to find the
cause of any epidemic in which their
services are requested by the state
Each of these successes
is not only a step toward the elimina
ton of typhoid fever. but a demonstra
tion of how it may be accomplished.
Last summer typhoid epidemic
broke out in western state, fifteen
cases developed in week and the state
health authorities asked for federal
assistance.
The stricken community was a rural
one composed of well-to-do farmers
living in well built houses upon broad
lands. Poverty. dirt and all other
disease breeding conditions We're ap-
parently lacking. But the detective
found upon investigation that each of
the fifteen persons who first developed
typhoid had attended a certain picnic.
One by one he studied the articles OF
food that made up the picnic dinner.
He traced the good country butter to
the cows that yielded the milk and
the men that cared for them. He con-
the possibilities of infection in
bread and cider and ham and every
thing else that goes into a country
picnic lunch. but 1t had all come from
kept by scrupulously careful
where the germ could not
possibly gain a foothold.
Finally, there was nolning left out
the lemonade. He found that this had
been cooled repeatedly by putting large
chunks OF ice into the tub, where they
rapidly melted. This ice came from
a pond where it was cut every winter
and stored in a typical country ice
house. A glance showed the skilled
sanitarian that filth was regularly
reaching the pond by seepage, and a
test of it's water revealed the presence
Of great numbers of typhoid bacilli.
