POLLUTION OF
GREAT LAKES
Becoming Serious Menace to
Health, Says U. S. Surgeon
General in Report Today.
Typhoid Reduced. Users of
Drugs in Nation
Wsshlngton, D. C.—Pollution of ths
Great Lakes and tributary rivers is be
coming a serious menace to health, ac
cording to the annual report today of
Sutgron Genera! Ruper Blue of the Pub
lic Health Service. He points out that
about 16,000,000 passengers are carried
ench yenr over the Great Lakes and
that more than 1,600 vessels use these
waters. “It heroines apparent there
fore,’’ Dr. Blue declares, ’’that these In
land vessels play an ImprS’tant role In
the maintenance of the high typhoid
fever rate In the United States.
Water Supply.
“The degree of pollution of the Great
lakes and rivers contributory thereto Is
becoming a serious question. The**
large bodies of water ars constantly be
ci.mlng more polluted, thus lessening
thetr value as a source of water supply.
Practically all of these veasais secure
the water used aboard for all purposes
by pumping from the lake.”
It Is recommended that water so taken
be purified before used for drinking pur
poses.
Dr. Blue details the work of the medi
cal officers under him for the year in
eradicating plague, Investigating tuber
culosis, In making special Inquiries Into
epidemics of typhoid /ever and other dis
eases.
Migratory Consumptives.
Public health officers who examined
conditions relative to the ellect on per
sons wlio come In contact with migra
tory consumptives found little reason to
believe that such contact has proved In
jurious. He points out again that In
vestigation by American officials does
not bear out the claim made by Dr. F.
F. Friedmann for a specific for tubercu
losis. Investigation of the von Ruck
treatment for the name disease, he an
nounces Is Incomplete.
Speaking of typhoid Dr. Blue says
that although its prevalence In this
country Ih being gradually reduced and
the rate Is not more than one-half what
It was 36 years ago It Is still higher
than for some olher advanced countries.
The urgent need at present Is for rural
sanitation. Most American cities show
an appreciation of the way to deal with
typhoid.
Drug Users.
Study of the use of drugs In this coun
try where an anti-narcotic legislation
has made statistics available, leads to
t lie belief, Dr Blue Hays that the esti
mate of drug users has been high and
that the users of morphine and opium in
this country probably do not number
more than 140,66(1 while the number of
Cocaine users Is probably “very much
lower."
