WATER is HEALTHY
Board OF Health Has Added Steriliz-
ing Outfit To Purify Water In
MainS-ArteSian Well Affords the
Supply.

The Board of Health of the town
of Milford, acting in conjunction
with the State Board of Health, is
conducting an active campaign for
the health of Milford citizens, and in
cidentally is giving information that
will assist all citizens to maintain
the general health of the town. DR..
S. M. D. Marshall is the secretary of
the local board and desires that all
persons shall understand just how
and why the measures are being
carried out for all the people.
Many do not read statements,
while many who do read, fail to un-
derstand medical, or technical terms.
1t is especially necessary to make
any statement plain to understand
in simple statement, that any mis-
understanding of the work of the
Board of Health, should not become
source of trouble because of mis-
understanding by the individual.
The health of Milford since the
first day of January 1880 up to Octo-
ber 1, 1880, nine months in all,
shows no serious conditions because
of contagious diseases. In that time
fifteen cases of typhoid fever have
been reported, and one death result
ed from the number. This is larg-
er number of typhoid cases than in
former similar seasons; which can
be accounted for in part by a gen.
eral lack of precaution by all the
people, to prevent typhoid fever by
iI1naY1lofinV 1ryifh M -fxTnhnih
cine-a sure preventative.
The State and Town offer this in
Oculation free to the people. Why
not avail yourselves of this oppor-
tunity to preserve the health of your
family and especially your children?
The State Board of Health will fur
nish this anti-tOXin against typhoid
fever in all cases. Can you afford not
to save illness and possibly death in
your own homes?
In families where typhoid now is,
or has been, especial care is neces-
sary in sterilization of the sewage
before it is disposed of to prevent
contamination by flies.
The drinking water supplied by the
town water system has been safe
guarded by the Light and Water
Commission of Milford, and to make
sure of pure water, a clOrine gas
equipment has been in
stalled at the pumping station, and
the water is now steriliZed before
the service pipes for home
or other uses; because of this ster-
ilizatiOn, it is not necessary to boil
town water before using.
1t is very important that mer-
chants selling food of all kinds, |
shall cooperate with the Board of |
and they are especially in |
vited, by the Milford Board of |
Health to try to keep all food stuff |
they supply in pure and clean con-
litiOn.
Carelessness may bring sorrow
into your home as well as injure
others. Just remember that the
Health Boards of all towns are in
elIigent men and women, acting
without pay for their services, that
he health of every home may be pro-
ected from disease.
The water of Milford has been
ested and only in few instances
las any contamination been found,
md those cases were where recent
work had been done either
II the connecting pipes, or in the
ZONES from whence the water tested
vas taken.
Too keep good health, clean cOndi-
ions must exist and the town of
Iilford is on the job all the time to
ccomplish this.
