Guard Against Typhoid

The unusually early spring which
has followed a mild winter here in
Maine, brings on the fly season
earlier than usual and with it the
menace of typhoid, says the State De-
partment of Health. The filthy fly
is responsible for much typhoid as
we'll as other communicable diseases
and should be fought to finish. But
there are other precautions too
against typhoid. incubation gives
protection against the disease for a
period of two or three years. It
causes no illness nor loss Of time
from labor but is a sure protection.
Typhoid is rapidly growing less
prevalent in Maine with the more
careful guarding of water and milk
supplies and persistant campaigns
against the fly, but incubation IL
still further guard against infection.
