BOND WARNS OF
TYPHOID DANGER
:■ ■ t * ’ •
Health Officer Says
There Is 1 oo Much
Prevalent
BY DR. B. F. BOND,
County Commissioner of Health.
There is more typhoid fever in
Sumter county at the present time
than for any given period since I
have been acting Commisisoner of
Health for Sumter County. Doesn’t
speak well for a health officer try
ing to prevent sickness, does it?
A few days ago I made an appeal
to you regarding the cause and
enumerated a few methods whereby
that disease might be prevented, ant:
o. course it is too late now to re
iterate to those who are sick, and
in bed, but it is not too late for
you if you have not already used the
i...thod« at you* command in com
batting this dreaded disease.
Have you made provisions for the
pr per disposal of all human filth
on your farm or premises? It i a
simple matter to do so. Many oi our
best farms are equinped with ideal
homes that have all modern conven
iences including septic tanks or sew •
er disposal outfits and etc., yet the
servants and tenants use open privies,
or the woods in some instances, leav
ing filth accessible to hogs, chickens
and flies, and very frequently the
filth from servants is as objectionable
as that deposited in sewerage or sep
tic tanks.'
The Dixie Culvert & Metal Co., |
manufacture a very desirable type for ■
a pit privy for installation where [
neither scavenger service nor a sew- ■
er is available. I will be glad to
show you this type, or show you how
to build a septic tank. Either of
these life-saving appliances can be[
installed on the farm without water |
works and at a small expense. It is
preferable to get at the cause of dis
eases. Science has demonstrated the
fact that the human: system is a
necessary link in the propagation and
dissemination of typhoid fever germs
and since we have not properly dis-1
nosed of all human filth and are sub- [
ject to infection daily we should, use
other preventive measures reeogniz-1
ed by the medical profession, name- I
ly: screening and artificial immuni
zation by vaccine.
A majority of the cases reported |
are among the colored population of [
rur county and from some cause they
have not availed themselves of the,
advantages offered by vaccination. I
have been unable to ascertain defi
nitely but the best information I have
i,s that neither case reported has been
vaccinated within two years.
Do you realize that 282,500 hu
man beings in the United States mav
exoect to become ill typhoid
fever during this “year, and mat in all
Probability 30,700 lives, of that num
ber will be sacrificed to this disease
which can be prevented. Sumter
county with a population of more
than 30.000 may expect more than
seventy-five of her citizens to be ill
with typhoid fever. One death at- i
tributable to this disease has been re- I
