HEALTH HINTS

This Is the time Of year when health
officers in large cities watch their ty.
phoid charts with dread.
Hordes Of people are returning from
vacations spent in the country and
with them many bring the germs of
typhoid fever.
Typhoid fever Is filth borne and
person can become infected with the
germs that cause It by drinking impure
water, contaminated milk, bathing in
polluted water, or by eating food har.
boring the germs.
The typhoid germ was discovered
by scientist named Eberth in 1880.
They are killed by temperature Of go
degrees CentigraLe or lao degrees
Fahrenheit. They have strong resist.
ance to cold, can live three months in
ice and stand repeated freezing.
They can live in water for as long
as 80 days, but in da.', wells and res.
ervoirs they probably live longer. In
ordinary soilthey seem to live for some
months but disappear from the surface
layers after a heavy rain. Under a
leaking drain they have been found to
live for months. On bread kept moist
and in the dar'' they have lived for
year. They hav, been found alive in
dust from contaminated soil.
In those sick with typhoid fever the
germs are found in the patients dis.
charges as we'll as in practically all
the glands and tissues OF the body such
as liver, spleen, kidneys. lungs and
skin. The number of germs excreted
| every day from such patient may
amount to billions.
Now, however, people can be protect.
ed against typhoid feve- by vaccina-
ton. This is a very simple process.
A fluid containing dead typhoid germs
is injected under the skin in the upper
part Of the arm. Three injections are
made at intervals Of q week or ten
days. A slight redness soon appears
! at the point Of injection. but disappears
IN a few days. Some persons may
have a slight headache, and tired
feeling, like that which accompanies
a cold. This feeling. however, lasts
only for about one day. In few cases
it may extend to two days, but this Is
:S rare.
