DISEASE DANGERS
FROM RAINS RARE
Modern Science Vanquish.
ing Epidemic Which
Usually Follow Floods

Until comparatively recent times
heavy rains and floods, such as vis-
tied Connecticut and other Sec
tions Of the United States during
the past few years, were frequently
followed by disease epidemics be-
cause Of contamination Of water
supplies.
But modern science is vanquishing
that danger, and disease epidemics
resulting from food conditions are
becoming rare occurrences, points
out the American Water Works as
ISOLATION, national organization Of
water officials and operators.
Last year more than half OF the
city Of Louisville, KY, was SUBJ
merged with food waters, and the
water supply was threatened with
serious contamination, but through
aggressive and heroic measures, not
only was an epidemic prevented, but
there was not q single death In that
city from typhoid fever during the
entire year Of 1874 remarkable
record. Other cities along the Ohio
river were able to combat success
fully the severe flood conditions
which interfered with the normal
operation Of their plants. Only two
residents Of Cincinnati, which was
hit heavily by the food, died OF ty-
phoid during the entire year.
Typhoid fever is often water
borne. The germs develop in the
body and pass out In human wastes
During abnormal rainfalls and floods
rivers, lakes and reservoirs are
grossly contaminated and great
precautions must be taken by water
works operators to safeguard the
purity of water delivered to the pub
lie. A high degree of skill and ex-
perience Is required for the effective
operation of a water plant under
flood conditions.
Fortunately, modern science has
given water men a powerful weapon
to combat typhoid and other disease
germs which may contaminate the
water. That weapon is chlorine. A
very small amount Of chlorine will
