Cases Unless Precautions
Are Quickly Taken.
Richmond, Va, July 28.-I
Tne rains which have been deli
uging Virginia in the last few
weeks may result in sharp il.
rease in the number of cases of
phoid fever, according to the
State Board OF Health, unless
rrompt precautions are taken by
all whose water-supply is in dam
ger of possible pollution by over
flow or otherwise.
The late spring, health officers
say, gave Virginia the prospect
of a favorable typhoid year. but
these prospects are fast being
upset by continued washing.
rains and the morbidity for tile
year may exceed that of 1915 un.
less individual fouseholders and
farmers protect themselves.
The rains, it appears, are pc
culiarly favorable to the spread
of typhoid, in that they wash the
filth into streams, whence it ma y
find its way into water-supplies
of different communities. On
farms, also. where reliance is
placed on springs, heavy rains
sometimes choke up the bitches
or dam the spring-branches ard
result in overflow or backwater
that may be dangerous. Tie
board is strongly urging every
farmer to watch his spring and,
if he finds the water muddy af-
ter rains, to either use another
spring or to render the supply
safe by proper ditching above
aud below the spring. Full di-
r.ctions for doing this have BET n
issued in printed form by TIE
board and may be had free upon
request.
OF serious outbreaks of ty-
phoid, the board reports few dur
ing the last month, and more
that could be classed as genuine
epidemics. All reported out
breaks have been investigated
by officers of the board and have
been traced to different causes
in the various localities affected.
Iu some instances, the origin of
the disease was relatively obscure
and responsibility was placed on
what seemed to be minor and ov.
etlooked factors in sanitary pro-
lection.
