Preventing
Typhoid

the disease making its appearance

It has been very conservatively
stated by an eminent physician
that for every case of typhoid
some one, should be hanged" For
every case of typhoid fever is
caused by carelessless or failure
OF some individual or Of some com
munity to observe the rules of
common decency and cleanliness.
Every case of typhoid fever is
derived from a previous one Of
from a person who has recovered
and Is still carrying the germs.
The germs are transmitted either
by direct or indirect contact.
Water, milk and other foods
transmit them directly. Milk Is
particularly dangerous. since in 1t
the germs not only live but multi.
ply.
II we are not sure how our milk
Is handled II should be pasteur-
lied. IL we are uncertain about
the water supply, boil 1t. On mo-
tor and camping trips take q sup

water you use, or serve II In the
form of coffee, tea or cocoa,
Keep your fingers away from
your mouth, since the hands Of.

moistening the thumb in counting
paper money is not only a dis.
gushing habit but one fraught with
possible danger.
Flies carry typhoid germs from

typhoid and other diseases as well.
