				  Disposition of body wastes. The urine and feces of a typhoid carrier shall be
				  disposed of in such a manner that they will not endanger any public or private
				  water supply or be accessible to flies.
(b) Prohibition of food handling. No typhoid
				  carrier shall prepare or handle any food or drink to be consumed by persons
				  other than members of the household with whom he resides.
(c) Restrictions of certain employments. No
				  typhoid carriers shall conduct or be employed in any restaurant, hotel, or
				  boarding house.

(e) Restrictions of certain occupations. No
				  typhoid carrier shall engage in the occupation of nurse, cook, waiter,

				  milk products, or utensils used in the production thereof.
(f) Restrictions of residence where cows are
				  kept. No typhoid carrier shall be permitted to reside on premises on which one
				  or more cows are kept except under conditions to be prescribed by the health
				  officer, which conditions shall include a written agreement signed by the
				  carrier, or if the carrier be a minor, by his parent or duly appointed guardian
				  and by the owner of the cows or his representative. Such agreement shall
				  stipulate either:
(1) that no milk, cream or
				  other dairy products from such premises will be sold, or given away to persons
				  other than members of the household residing on such premises; or
(2) that milk and cream will be sold from
				  such premises only after a special permit is issued by the local health officer
				  and countersigned by the district State health officer and the local health
				  officer of the jurisdiction in which the milk or cream is to be sold, provided,
				  however, that a county or part-county health commissioner or city health
				  officer (in cities of 50,000 population or over) may issue such permit
				  directly. Such permit and agreement shall provide that:
(i) the milk or cream be sold only to the
				  individual or firm designated in the permit, which individual or firm restricts
				  its output to a pasteurized product;
(ii) the carrier will not engage in any
				  activities involving milking or the handling of milk, cream or dairy utensils,
				  or enter the milk house or barns where the milk-producing cows are
				  kept;
(iii) no milk or cream which
				  is to be subsequently sold nor any utensils used in the production of milk or
				  cream shall be brought into the house occupied by the carrier;
(iv) no changes shall be made in the source
				  of the water supply or in the system by which it is distributed on the farm,
				  nor in the means of sewage disposal, except with the approval of the local
				  health officer, provided, however, that a county or part-county health
				  commissioner, or city health officer (in cities of 50,000 or over) may give
				  such approval;
(v) all other
				  members of the carrier's household except those who have had typhoid fever,
				  shall have been vaccinated against typhoid fever.
