Sword of Typhoid Hangs
Continually Over South
Bend" Because of In
sanitary Conditions.


and death hangs over South
Bend all the time At any mo-
ment the thread might be cut
and an epidemic begun.
The evidence is by no means
conclusive that the water supply
is the source Of the present out
break.
Had the South Bend health
authorities made an epidemic
logical study Of the epidemic
they would not have blamed
the water.
DR.. Sinner made a thorough
review Of the field, a review
which should have been made
months before by the city health
department.
These are some hot shots from DR..
John n. Hurry, health commissioner
Of Indiana, in reply to a recent at
tack upon his assistants by DR..
Charles S. Bosenbury. secretary OF
the South Bend health board, with
reference to the state officers work
in the local epidemic.
They are the substance Of a letter
to The News Times by Dr. Hurry
in which he points out that u. S.
Surgeon Cobb's conclusion that the
water is to blame is based upon
what Cobb admits TO be "debatable
ground" DR.. Hurry includes a 10
page report Of John c. Diggs, san
itary engineer, on the water supply
of South Bend as evidence of the
thoEOughness of the work.
Says Water is Good.
Mr.. Diggs says Of the local water
supply in his report:
The supply is OF a very high
standard and continues to be,
in spite of the fact that its char
acter has been questioned. one
OF the best supplies in the state"
Continuing his review Of the South
Bend situation Dr. Hurry says:
"I predict that South Bend will
have recurring visitations of typhoid
and the epidemics will be more or
less severe until all surface privies
are abolished, sanitary garbage col
lection and disposal is secured and
shallow wells abolished.
These recurring epidemics will
come Independent Of your public
water supply. for the conditions
from which such may and do spring
are present right now in South
Bend I advise the mayor and com
mon council 10 pass an anti-outhouse
ordinance. This ordinance should
provide that within a certain rea-
sonable time that every premise in
South Bend not connected with a
sewer shall be provided with a san
itary privy a sanitary privy is one
which does not pollute the earth.
does not pollute the air and which
is fly tight and easily and readily
cleaned"
DR. Hurry says II is to be regretted
that the health authorities OF South
BEND did not make an epidemiolog-
zeal study of the typhoid epidemic
Had they done So" he says, they
would have had light on the subject
which would have prevented them
from concluding that the water
supply was the cause of the out
break
DIR. Sinner reports that he visited
over 40 families where typhoid
existed and in every instance found
typhoid conditions upon the prem
ises. He also found that instructions
had not been given the families how
10 prevent the transmission OF the
disease from one to another and in
only one instance had family
been urged TO vaccinate against the
disease. Both these omissions are
deeply 10 be regretted for although
OF a negative character they make
