BIG DEATH TOLL 1
PHD 10 TYPHOID
Georgia State Beard of Health Urges
Action to Bring About Its
Elimination.
Atlanta, Ga. — Special.)—Suppose
you had to stand in ltne with 100,000
j men once each year and draw the a ball
from a bag in which fifty of 100,
000 were black balls, and everyone of
these black balls meant that, the man
drawing it bad to stand against a
wall and be shot. Such a require¬
ment would make the average man
pretty uneasy, wouldn’t it?
The supposition is as absurd as the
proceeding is unnecessary, you say.
And yet if you will just call these
black bails fatalities from typhoid •fe¬
ver, Georgia presents something very
like that situation today. Ignorance,
carelessness, indifference, are respon¬
sible for the typhoid death top aver¬
aging about 60 in every 100,000 of
Georgia's population; approximately
1,500 every year out of her nearly
3,000,000 people — a Titanic’s death
loss every twelve months!
Typhoid fever is, perhaps, the most
easily preventable of t.he dangerous
infectious diseases, says a current
bulletin of the Georgia State Board of
Health.
Proof of possible elimination is
found In what foreign nations have al¬
ready accomplished. In thirty-three
leading European cities with aggre¬
gate population of 31,500,000, the
deaths from typhoid in 1910 were
only 6.5 In 100,000; in fifty American
cities of 100,00 or more, with aggre¬
gate population of 20,250,000, the av¬
erage death rate per 100,000 was 25,
or four times greater than the Euro¬
pean record. The difference lies in
tho application of preventive meas¬
ures.
Typhoid fever comes solely from
taking the typhiod term or baccillus
into the body through the mouth.
The germs grow and breed only in
Uie U-ruan body. They pass from the
j body in the leccs of urine, aud in va¬
rious ways ate carried to the bodies
of other persons. Typhoid germs may
be washed into welts or springs or
streams irom which drinking water is
taaen; they may find their way into
milk through the use of this Impure
■ water m milking; they may be car¬
ried by flies or other insects from the
j unsanitary closet to food in the kitch¬
en; they may get on the hands
j through from the room handling of the infected typhoid articles patient
and thus be carried to the mouth.
These facts known, prevention of
the spread of typhoid and its ultimate
elimination, become only a matter of
diligent care and attention in the dis¬
position of the excretions from the
human body. This is important not
only where cases of sickness and
death from typhoid have actually ex¬
isted, but in every case; all such ex¬
cretions must be treated as under
suspicion, for persons bave frequent¬
ly been known to carry typhoid germs
In their systems without experiencing
ill effects; likewise, typhoid patients
have been known to carry the germs
for weeks and months and even years
after recovery. step
The first and most important
in prevention is proper sewage dis¬
posal and the protection bacilli-carrylng of sewage
from flies and other
insects. Cities and towns should in¬
stall universal systems of sewage dis¬
posal; where cities cannot do this all
at once, and in the country districts
where the use of dry closeta is es¬
sential, these closets should be con¬
structed and maintained upon known
and approved sanitary lines. The
Board of Health will be glad to fur¬
nish upon application, plans for such
sanitary closets and ruies for the safe
and proper disposal of their contents.
Not only should the dry closet be
thoroughly screened against flies, but
the home everywhere should be ef¬
fectively screened against their en¬
trance; there is no more important
preventive measure against typhoid
than through screening. Every per¬
son of the place should be required
to use the sanitary dry closet; if pos¬
sible, it should be made a misdemean¬
or to deposit possible infection where
flies might have access to it or it
might be washed into tho drinking
