formerly of Brookings and this city,
but who is now practicing at Los
Angeles, Cal, where he has built up a
fine practice and has gained a national
reputation for the part he took in re-
storing to life a patient who had passed
away while undergoing an operation.
Among other things DR.. Williams says:
II greatly enjoy reading about the

I was there when it was built and 1t is
a source of great pleasure to me that it

Lovers of the bivalve should select
lean ones in preference to the fat va
riety. The fatter the oyster the more
likely it is infected. Oysters should
be cooked thoroughly, instead of eaten
raw, to reduce the chances of typhoid
infection from this source
Berries and vegetables which are to
be eaten should be carefully washed
in all instances, as they are often pro-
life carriers of the typhoid bacillus.

TO AVOID n

The following was handed to the
Register by a local physician;
Much attention has been given by
physicians to the prevention of ty-
phoid transmission via the sickroom.
A typhoid patient is a danger to others
unless proper precautions are taken.
Health officers, for this reason, can
do much to prevent the spread of the
disease, and the rigid rules set down
in most cities have done untold good
in limiting it's inter-communication.
Each family in which typhoid ap-
pears should do all in its power to
work with the health officers to avoid
the spread of the disease, not only
during confinement of the patient, but
after convalescence has set in.
Every cast of typhoid calls for isola-
ton.
Even a suspected case should be
carefully watched and isolated until a
correct diagnosis has been made.
Every case should be reported to the
health officers at once.
Those in attendance on a typhoid
patient should wash hands carefully
after handling the patient and es-
pecially before eating.
The patient should not use any
utensils or vessels used by other men,
bers of the family. After handling the
patient or his bed clothes be sur that
you wash your hands thoroughly.
Typhoid bacillus is by no mean al
ways destroyed by freezing, but can
not survive a temperature of lao de-
grees more than 10 minutes.
1t is not affected by drying, and for
this reason may spread to others in
dust. This form of transmission, how
ever, is probably rare.
Many authorities say that certain
kinds of fish convey the germs of
typhoid. The oyster is considered the
most likely carrier of the bacillus.
This is due to the practice of fattening
oysters before marketing them by
depositing them in fresh and often
sewage polluted water.
