/" Carriers are persons who have
had the disease at some time and who
continue to discharge the typhoid
germs. If carriers are not careful
in their personal habits-if they do
not wash their hands thoroughly after
they have been to the toilet and al
ways before they prepare food for
others to eat-they are likely to con-
taminate any food they handle.

than there used to be. But there are
still sources of infection to which the
individual is exposed, that cannot be
completely controlled by health de-

Vaccination against typhoid is a per-
sonal safeguard against such sources
of the disease.
