TYPHOID FEVER
BY DIR. CLIFFORD c. ROBINSON

Typhoid fever occurs most In sum
mer and early fall
The typhoid bacillus seems to be
somewhat irregular In susceptibility in
different individuals. Its favorite
range in both males and females is
from Is or 16 years old to about So.
Don't let your summer vacation be
broken up and you after life inter-
fered with by contracting this disease.
If YOUR vacation is spent in the
city, your chance of infection is
rather remote. Cities have reduced
typhoid almost to the minimum. In
1922 the extremely low rate of 3.15
for every hundred thousand persons
was averaged by the large cities Of
the United States.
Drinking water Is common source
of typhoid infection. If you are
drinking well water in a rural dis
trict, and are not sure, boil the wa
ter. Don't drink raw milk unless
you wish to invite typhoid bacilli to
dwell in you.
Watch out for the common house
fly. He is carrier of this trouble.
Avoid bathing in polluted water.
Persons who have had typhoid may
continue to carry the bacilli in their

carriers" Be on the lookout ALSO
for this bacili in polluted, soil.
Typhoid begins with a slight head
ache. loss of appetite and lassitude.
There is some fever and rcstlessness
at night but nothing of pronounced

This is Just the trouble-you have

it. The safe way is always to have
your guard UP and not give this
