HEALTH OF RICHMOND
CONTINUES EXCELLENT

Medical Inspector P. NJ. Chichester
said yesterday that he was disap-
pointed at the lack of interest shown
by the public in taking preventive
measures against contagious diseases
Since his announcement some time
ago that the prophylactic treatment
would be administered free at the
city hall. there have only been ten
volunteers to take the vaccine for
typhoid fever, and with three of these
cases the danger OF the disease was
forcibly impressed on them by its
presence in their residence Vaccina-
lion for small pox Is also given free
but there has likewise been few ap-
plcants for this treatment
Only three typhoid eases have been
reported this month, but the health
department is not relaxing it's vigil
lence against the deadly germs and
warns citizens to be on their guard
There were three cases contracted at
boarding house at l7ls North
Twenty-eighth street. two OF which
moved out OF the city before the
symptoms developed. a close watch
Is being kept on this place to check
a possible epidemic. Another case
is at the Retreat for the Sick and
the third in the West End.
The death rate this month In Rich
mond bids fair to be smaller than the
record month OF April. Figures an
nounced yesterday for the Hrst ten
days Of the month show that there
have been only sixty-eight deaths,
thirty-nine white and twenty. nine
colored.
