40 CASES TYPHOID FEVER
HERE; CITY WATER IS PURE

Alarmed at the announcement in
these columns Of the great number Of
typhoid fever cases IN this city, Dr. V.
NJ. Myers, secretary Of the Board OF
Health. today made an Investigation OF
local health conditions, inasmuch as
the records at the health department
revealed only a few cases Of the dis
ease. As a result OF this investigation
It was not only ascertained that ply
sicians at local hospitals were falling
TO report typhoid fever cases to the
health authorities, but the source Of
contamination I'm a number Of the
cases was located.
The report as printed last week
showed eighteen cases at the Delaware
Hospital. This was news to the health
department. When asked about the
great number Of cases Of typhoid fever
there and why they had not been re-
ported TO the health board, physicians
at that institution said they under
stood that such reports should be
made TO the State Board Of Health only
II was likewise learned that a number
Of the cases there were OF patients
from outside this city.
All the other hospitals reported that
the majority Of their typhoid patients
were from outside tho city and while
this was understood, Il was stated today
by one physician that the practice OF
admitting such patients made it I'M
possible for Wilmingtonlans who may
be stricken with the disease, to be ad-
mtted TO the institutions.
Dr. Myers, in checking up on the
cases that were reported. found that
1--WE patients had been employed In one
local Industrial plant. This resulted IN
an Investigation and it was found that
the drinking water in this plant was the
cause OF the disease. A new water sys-
tenn has been placed in operation at the
plant.

The fact that several of the wards
have no cases Of the disease in their
