1 lNo more POSSlDle cases of
 typhoid fever have been called to the
 attention of the local health officer. l Dr. George r. Cook. While just | across the town line in Southington. : they are in the neighborhood of the positive case reported yesterday on
 this side of the boundary. No defln- I ite diagnosis of the questionable
 cases can be made for perhaps a week more. as the disease takes nine , days to develop. Further cases are i feared, as the one already identi- 1 fled was allowed to go for a week before it was recognized. The source i of the disease is unknown but may have come from out of town. All precautionary measures possible are being taken.
