The commission expressed amazement that the

Typhoid Germs Persist After Illness

typhoid germs, deposited on the po-
tatoes by two of the four women
who had peeled them, developed in
such numbers as to cause typhoid
fever in forty-four people who ate
the potato salad.
One of these two women had had
typhoid fever twenty-five years be-
fore and in the intervening period
there had been six cases of typhoid
fever in her immediate family. Both
of these women we're examined
again in 1927. whereas the epidemic
occurred in 1922. and they were
found still to have in their bodies
typhoid bacilli which were elimi-
mated in their excretions.
Apparently the disease was spread
by the contamination of the hands
of the carrier with his own excre-
tons, and the use of these contami-
mated hands in preparing food
which was fed to people who did
not have resistance against typhoid.

medical corps, pointed out that the
last typhoid outbreak of Importance
in this country was due to just such
an incident.
In 1922, 400 people attended a
church supper. F'orty-four of these
people developed typhoid and four
died.
An investigation revealed that
potato salad had been eaten by all
who we're taken sick and was in
deed the only food at the table that
was eaten by all of those who were
taken sick. The dressing used in
the salad was eliminated from sus-
picion because it had been boiled.
It was found that four women
had prepared the salad, peeling and
slicing the boiled potatoes while
still warm. After the potatoes we're
peeled and diced, they were put
away in pans covered with towels
until the next day.
In this suitable atmosphere the
