FREE VACCINATION

'The recommendation of the health committee that the city institute free vaccination against typhoid will be acted upon promptly. A supply of the vaccine was ordered by wire this afternoon and will reach here early next week. The
 work of vaccination will be put in charge of competent physician and will be car, ried on until the danger has disappeared.
 Tn the meantime, the wisdom of having children vaccinated will suggest itself to
 parents. In fact, many are having this done now, ahd it should be encouraged in every possible way. Nor should it be limited to the young. As precautionary measure, every one should be vaccinated at once. It is recommended by the health committee composed of highly competent physicians, and the experience of the United States army has demonstrated it's great efficiency

HORNADY'S STATEMENT

Following a prolonged conference with the health committee of the Jefferson ounty Medical society, held in his office yesterday afternoon, Commissioner Hor- nsdy, in charge of the city health de- partment, made the following statement: "The typhoid fever situation was an alyzed very carefully at the conference with the health committee of the Medical society, and while it was not possible to point to any concrete cause for the un- usual amount of typhoid fever, several facts were brought out that proved en- Tightening and formed the basis of 8 number of recommendations that should be concurred in by the general public.
 Analysis of the figures for June show that SS out of 143 cases are among children 15 years of age and under
 with only 10 cases among persons 30 years of age and over. Thus it is established that the young people are the victims.
 Tt was also shown that repeated tests have failed to develop anything suspicious in the city water, while various springs about the city are found to be more or less contaminated
 The prevalence of the disease among children and the presence of foreign matter in spring water, linked with the fact that there have been numer- ous picnics at points In and about Bir- mingham, where the water is not fil- tered, suggests a line of thought that is pertinent. To head off the possi- bility of the disease being communi- cated through spring water, we are warning the public not to drink the water at Avondale, North Birming- ham and Green Springs, and also to avoid well water

BAN ON ICE CREAM

"The fact that the great majority of cases are found among young people also suggests the wisdom of exercising the ut most care in eating foods that have been exposed to flies, and the health commit tee advisces that ice cream served in cones, fruits, candy, vegetables that are eaten raw, and similar products, be avoided unless the purchaser knows that they have been handled in a safe and sanitary manner
 "It is also shown that the great ma jority of persons having the typhoid fever are white, the figures for June being, white, IA; colored, 29. This situation seems to establish the fact that bad san itary conditions are not wholly responsi- ble for the present condition, as sanitary conditions are best in those communities where the fever is most pronounced at this time. For this reason it is well to watch the sources of food and water SUD- DIV with the utmost diligence.

MAKES THREE SUGGESTIONS


 situation it would seem that we have made about as much progress toward the solution of this problem as we are likely
 to make while working upon the present lines. It is going to take something more than we have been doing. steps in some new direction to eradicate typhoid fever in Birmingham, and if you will pardon me for imposing upon your space I am going to presume to offer some three sug-
 gestions for the accomplishment of this end, all of which, I am ready to admit
 are somewhat revolutionary.
 First. In May, 1914, I wrote an article for The Age-Herald in which was advo- cated (for the first time, I think the gen. eral vaccination of the public against | typhoid fever. Up to that time vaccinas tion had been largely confined to armies, l hospital attendants, etc. After watching the results of more general vaccination during the past two years am now will | ing to go on record as in favor of com | pulsory vaccination against typhoid fever. "Oh," you say, it can't be done; 1t is | impracticable' I differ with you The | same thing was said about vaccination | against smallpox. But smallpox" you say, Ifs a different proposition" Well, | that is true. It is different in this way: | Smallpox is contagious; typhoid is infec- | tious. Smallpox is epidemic once in a while: typhoid is epidemic every year. You have simply come to look on it as | a matter of course; you expect to see ty- phoid come back in the good old summer time just as you expect to see the flies;
 and like the flies it never fails to arrive
 on schedule time. Its arrival does not cause you the immediate alarm that the announcement of an outbreak or small poX would.

AROUSED INTEREST IN TYPHOID FEVER IS EXCELLENT SIGN Three Suggestions Offered for Further Control of
 the Disease IDEA ADVANCED ON SOURCE OF TROUBLE Dr. Lowrey Thinks Many of Presnt Cases Can Be Traced to
 Recent Picnic

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The fact that we are so aroused over the 1o1 cases of typhoid fever reported to date for June, 1916, when we have had an equally large number on previous occa- sions without so much as batting an eye lash is, to me, good sign. I am glad to see it. It means that at least a part of the preaching and the quiet teaching that has been done on public health matters by Alabama doctors is finally beginning to soak in. Let us hope that the city and the state will soon begin to appreciate the fact that public health is a purchasable commodity-just as much so as beans and potatoes-and that just so soon as they are willing to put up the money for an adequate health system such a system can be delivered.
 But to return to the present situation There is no occasion for a panic. The number of cases originating in Birming ham for the month of June I feel sure Will be found not above the normal for the month. In my opinion the present explosion of typhoid fever in this city Will, upon investigation, be traced to a recent picnic which was attended by a large number of Birmingham people. l personally know of eight cases which were almost certainly contracted on this occasion from drinking infected water.
 So far as Birmingham is concerned there is no question but typhoid is one of our big problems, and the elimination of the dry closet Is, of course, highly to be desired; and in this connection why has not sufficient pressure been brought to bear upon the supreme court to bring about immediate action on this case, which means life death to a number of citizens of Birmingham? If this were some big, purely financial question such action could have been secured. It has been done in the not distant past.
