TYPHOID FEVER

Typhoid fever is found only in a 1t is causedb by a hort d-snap
microscopic vegetable organism. 1t enters the body through n mouth
and leaves in it human discharges to enter another human mouth. 1t is
carried by fingers, flies, fluids and food. 1t is essentially a disease OF young
adult life. Older people are less apt to nave it becaus nan OF them nave
suffered from q n attack of the disease in their youth.
Typhoid eve is known by various names, "aow fever 10y fevG

of those which it attacks. A certain percentage of those h ecov be-
come carriers that is, persons who though well excrete III organism OF m

Such" Carriers are largely responsible fol the perpetuaion of typhoid

of q pure food supply, the Intelligent care of the typhoid patient n the

from this disease.
