Curb on Activities
OF Typhoid Carriers
Disease Is FutuI to
Girl, 13, Living in
RuroI Area Of County
BY q Staff Correspondent Of The Star.

By Staff Correspondent Of The Star.
ROCKVILLE. Nd, May 9.-The
death this week from typhoid Of a
13-year -old girl In the rural area
Of Montgomery County was an
nounced today.
The case, which was the first re-
ported in the county this year, was
caused by infection from a typhoid
carrier. The source of the infection
was discovered by DR.. Leon Salz-
man. assistant county health officer,
after the case had occurred.
According to DR.. v. L. Ellicott,
county health officer, a proposed
typhoid ordinance to restrict typhoid
carriers has been drafted and refer
red to Joseph A. Cantrel, attorney
to the county commissioners. It is
expected to be submitted to the
commissioners for final action In
the near future.
Restricting Activities Difficult.
DIR. Ellicott explained that a ty-
phoid carrier is a person who, with
out showing signs of the disease,
harbors virulent bacteria and can
spread the disease to other people.
1t is difficult to restrict activities
of such carriers under present law,
he said. since typhoid Is not &pecifi-
cally mentioned As 4 danaerous
disease. The proposed regulation
would prohibit typhoid carriers from
living with persons who are not
immunized against the disease.
Since it is impossible to cure
typhoid carriers except by operation
this regulation is the next best
thing" DR.. Ellicott declared.
Six Cases Last Year.
There were six typhoid cases in
the county last year and all re-
covered, he said. OF the six, two
were infected from previously known
carriers, two from carriers discovered
later and the source of infection of
the remaining two cases could not
be traced.
The health officer said there are
now Is known carriers of typhoid
In the county. One has caused at
least eight cases of the disease since
he was discovered in 1887, DR.. Eli
colt asserted.
1T Is important" DR. Ellicott
stated, that these carriers refrain
from handling food. milk or food
containers and that they do not
live on dairy farms or in boarding
houses without permission of the
Health Department"
