The Menace OF The Carrier.

Speaking recently of the gradual decrease
in both the number of cases and in the
deaths from typhoid fever throughout the
State. DR.. X. H. Riley. Director of the State
Department of Health. said that much of
this reduction paralleled the gradual pro-
lection of public water supplies from pol
luton. but there is still much to be done
in this field. he said. There is another
source of infection" he continued. that
is often overlooked-the typhoid carrier
the person who spreads the germs of
typhoid through uncleanly habits. Some
Of the most serious outbreaks that have
occurred in our own and in other States
have been traced to carriers.
Whenever a case of typhoid fever is
reported to the department. effort is made
by the local health officer or the Deputy
State Health Officer to discover the sources
Of injection. Usually the major problem
is TO locate the carrier. A recent check
ing up of the histories kept by the Bureau
of Communicable Diseases shows that we
have the record of 81 carriers to whom
346 cases of typhoid fever that occurred
in the counties Of Maryland were traced.
"Of the total number Of carriers. SIS were
white. % colored. and the color of six
was not recorded; 81 were male and 81
female. TwO-thirds of the total had some
thing to do with the preparation or hand
ling of foOds-35 were housewives. 10
were milk handlers. cooks, 4 shellfish
handlers. The rest were farmers, labOrers
or were engaged in some other occupation.
One-third of the cases occurred in the
FAMILIES or homes of the carriers two
fifths on milk routes. and One-tenth in house.
holds in which the cook was found to be
the carrier. The largest number of cases
traced to one individual was So. Another
carrier was responsible for At; third, for
%. and still another. for IS. Fifteen of
the cases occurred in 1884. and the rest
between 1912 and 1928
ut will be seen from this review of our
records, that the greatest menace in con-
nectiOn with the carriers comes from those
who handle foodstuffs. The known carrier
is not permitted to engage in any of the
food handling occupations. and as far as
possible we keep record Of the carriers
to whom cases Of the disease have been
traced, and see that they do not endanger
the lives OF others.
Because of the danger that arises from
sources that cannot be guarded against,
as the season for summer outings and OF
eating at all sorts OF places approaches.
the Department advises those who have
not been vaccinated against typhoid fever
within the last two years to avail them
selves OF the protection afforded by such
vaccination. Three NEGOTIATIONS a week
apart are necessary to complete the immu-
nization. The State Department Of Health
provides the vaccine free to all physicians
who apply for it. All that it will cost will
be the physicians fee and few minutes Of
your time. If you have no physician. 60
to the nearest health officer"
