3 TYPHUS CASES
ADDED TO LIST

There are three new Diagnosed
cases of typhus fever in New Han
over county, and an additional sus-
pect case, bringing the number for
the past several weeks to approx
imately IL, and the years total to
around II, DIR. A. H. Elliot, city
county health officer, reported yes
te-day.
Two of the diagnosed cases were
reported Saturday and the third,
yesterday, he said.
'There is no cause for alarm"
Elliot emphasized I'VE are doing
everything possible in Wilmington
from public health standpoint to
curb spread of the disease. 1t is
not communicable from person to
person.
1.-THE slight upswing here is not
unusual. The disease has ten
dency to rise during certain
years." he added.
Meanwhile, Elliot reported that
the typhus control program is pro-
crossing here, as trained workers
of the program continue the ex-
termination of typhus-bearing rats
in the business districts of the city,
and supervise additional rat-exter-
mination projects in outlying in
dustrial areas.
The advice offered yesterday by
health officials to citizens OF the
community with respect to typhus
il contained in the following points:
1. Clean up all vacant and back
lots of rubbish piles. high weeds,
and stubbles.
2. See that all garbage is prop
erly disposed of by placing it I'M
a metal container, with tight fit
ting lid Sixty to 70 per cent OF
any community rats get their sup
port from improperly disposed gar
bage.
8. See that all feed stuff is prop
erly stored. Rats move on if they
invade premises with no food sup
ply in or nearby.
4. Wreck and use for fuel any
old or dilapidated building or out
house not being used.
5. Rat proof or have rat-proofed
all business houses or public meet
ing places; also your home, If
need be.
6. Exterminate or have extermi-
mated all rats before and after rat
proofing buildings.
7. Keep close watch for, and fix,
all leaks that may come to build
ings by wear and tear, plumbing
electric wiring and the like.
8. See your local health inspec-
tor for expert assistance, or have
him to visit your premises.
g. Cooperate with the typhus con-
troll program now under way In
Wilmington.
There is no known cure for ty-
plus fever, nor is there any Ell
feetive vaccine for t h disease.
These facts make it doubly impor-
tant to take every possible protec-
tive measure to stamp out rats
and the fleas that rats carry, &C.
G. ng to the health authorities.
Typhus fever is one of a group
of infectious diseases which r e
caused by a small virus-like Or
ganism called richettsiae. There
are several strains or varieties Of
the richettsiae, and the diseases
caused by them are scattered over
the world. However, the only one
Of this group Of disease which is
a definite health problem in North
Carolina is typhus fever.
, Typhus is primarily a disease OF
the rat and the rat flea.
The extensive rat control pro-
gram underway here is also aimed
at the stamping out germs respon-
sible for bubonic plague, typhoid
fever, dysentery, diarrhea and
Wells disease.
