TYPHOID FEVER IN JULY


tion to Danger and Suggests Simple
Remedies Against Summers Worst
Disease.
Richmond, Va, July 9.-This is ore
Of the months when Virginia usually
suffers most heavily from typhoid
fever At this time Of stress, when
so much depends on as clean bill OF
health as possible for Virginia, the
State Board of Health calls attention
to the fact that the spread of disease
can be prevented if the people will
heed the oft-repeated warnings and
take the simple precautions that have
been found to be most effective.
Two bulletins that have been issued
BY the board, bearing particularly on
this subject, would be of inestimable
value to householders especially.
Those who will make use Of them may
obtain copies by sending their names
and addresses to the State Board Of
Health, Richmond, Va.
So many doctors and nurses have
left Virginia. and so many more are
soon to go, for service in the army
and navy, that it is imperative Tor
every virginian TO add to what he
regards as "his Bit measure of
public health work. Anything done
to improve health conditions in this
state, the Health Board points out, is
patriotic service of a very important
sort.
The bulletins referred to show in
non-technical language how typhoid
originates and how it may be prevent
ed. "Typhoid fever is disease Of
filth" says one Of the bulletins. 1T
is spread only by germs which leave
the body of a person who has or has
had the disease Dirt, bad odors, stale
food and the like cannot themselves
cause typhoid, unless contaminated
by human filth. Typhoid comes only
from man; all the typhoid germs in
the world came from the bodies Of
human beings.
"The first rule Of typhoid preven-
ton, and the all-important one, is TO
place all human filth where it cannot
be touched by anything that
will carry it to man. Lives are lost
every year in Virginia because when
typhoid appears in family no steps
are taken to prevent its spread to
others
The bulletins clearly show how the
members of family may be protect
ed when typhoid does appear, as well
as how to prevent it in the first place.
