The evidence is not conclusive
that the water supply at South Bend

The water which oOzed up
through the crack in the
reservoir is sterile and besides il
did not rise through said crack
until the crack was made much

It's only what you can expect, g"

point out things which are wrong in
a mans department.. you can expect
him TO try 10 defend il. Under
stand. too, that l found nothing
wrong with DR.. sinners report All
had TO find fault with was the way
he went at it.
The first thing DR.. Sinner said
when he arrived in South Bend was
that the epidemic was not water
borne. He blamed the typhoid on
the milk, right away. Then. when
he couldn't get proof TO back up his
statement, he backed down. and
blamed the epidemic on everything
in general.
LAS TO what is said about our
records and things here, We did
everything we could TO make the
work easy for the investigation. DR..
Sinner said so himself, when he was
here. Because we were crippled by
losing some of our help in the health
department and because l was away
on my vacation when the contain
ination was noticed, things did slip
up a little. But we couldn't help
that.
