Derj' case of typhoid comes from waUoffing the germs, or seeds, of the disease, and such germs come (ram just one source. This source is the waste matter the bowell and Sidney discharges of human beings who are sick with the disease or else are "carriers" of the germs. Carriers are persons who, although not sick with the disease themselves, them-selves, have typhoid germs growing in their bodies. When human wastes coming from typhoid cases or from carriers are not properly disposed of, they are apt to get into water, milk, and other foods, and, through such agencies, agen-cies, be transmitted to well persons. per-sons. Water is usually infected by sewage or surface drainage. Milk and other foods are liable to be infected in-fected by fingers or flies contaminated contamin-ated with typhoid germs. If all wastes from human bodies could toys be so placed that it would I be inaccessible to flies and could i not be earned on human fingers, or get into sources of drinking water or into milk supplies or other foods, typhoid fever wuld soon become an extinct disease. Typhoid fever, while one of the most dreaded, is also one of the easiest to control and obliterate of all the communicable diseases. Its prevention may be largely summed up in the one word "cleanliness." And by cleanliness is meant not on- j lv clean foods, especially milk and clean water, but also cleanliness of person and surroundings. I j TYPHOID FEVER HAS ALWAYS j j PREVAILED WHERE CLEANLINESS CLEANLI-NESS ISNEGLECTED AND EVERYWHERE DIMINISHED IN PROPORTION AS CLEANLINESS HAS BEEN INTELLIGENTLY OBSERVED. OB-SERVED. And what is true of typhoid fever in this regard, is also none the less toa of dysentery, diarrhea, and er filth-borne diseases. The following are the precautions ed against typhoid: !
