There has been a large number of typhoid-fever cases in this city of late. Generally the sources of this disease are found in water and milk supplies. The Board of Health, believing this to be the case, has made diligent and searching investigation, and has found that both water and milk supply are free from contamination, in fact, that both stand high from a sanitary view-point. On still further investigation they found that the typhoid fever now prevalent is due to the consumption of uncooked foods, especially shellfish, such as oysters, shrimps, crabs, etc. The late epidemic of typhoid fever at Stanford University, Sanitary Inspector Gemmel informs us, was caused by the promiscuous eating of oysters and kindred kinds of fish. It was also found that green vegetables, which are served uncooked, also adapt themselves to propagating the deadly germs. Blessed is the man who finds sufficient food in well-cooked cereals, and in nuts and fruits.
