Mrs. Anna Price Mitchell, 3O7

custody OF county health depart
ment officials June Is on a charge
of being a typhoid carrier, has un-
dergone a gall bladder operation
al University OF Michigan Hospital
in an effort to make her safe TO
return to society, Dr.. Otto u.
Engelke, director OF the county
health department, revealed to-
day.
II is believed that most OF the
typhoid germs we're located in Mrs
Mitchells gall bladder. State health
laws require that a typhoid carrier
who has undergone such an opera
ton respond negatively to a stated
series OF tests before being re-
leased. Should Mrs Mitchell fail
TO have the required number OF
negative specimens. she will be
kept at the hospital for further
treatment. and should all treatment
fail TO cure her, she may be con
fined indefinitely. Or. Engelke said
Early in June Mrs. Mitchell was
persuaded TO enter the University
Hospital after health officials had
completed lengthy investigation
following the contraction Of typhoid
by two children who had been at
the Mitchell home After two
weeks Mrs Mitchell decided 10 re-
turn home and a strict quarantine
was imposed upon her. When Mrs
Mitchell broke quarantine. war
