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."
