THE CAUSE OF THE TYPHOID ,1,1. , iPIDEMIO'MAY BE DUE TO OXTY WATER SUPPLY. fills Is the Opinion Expicssed In the ' Report to the Local Borkd of Health from State Bacteriologist Pltfleld, Who Made Examinations of Both the Milk and the Water Supply. Milk Supply Not the Cause Unless v "polluted hy Water Consolidated Company's Water Found Impure. Reynshanhurst Supply Is Pine. The Report. "The board, 'llnds thai while llicte are clrquipstiUices In tin- dlslilbutton oC the disease which lead tit suspicion of pollution of tho mlltc supply, the conditions under which the milk Is produced do not nppear to substanti ate this s'riBplclon. On- Hie other hand, there Is strong reason Tin- oonsldeiliig it probable that one source or the water supply Ih polluted and may bo chargeable with the production or tho epidemic." This parngiaph contains the muit or the opinion or the state board or health as to tho vuusc or the epidemic, or ty phoid rover In Carbondale the past four or flvo months, which produced as high as forty cases at one time, and was marked by a hair dozen deaths. This opinion It based on the Undines or Dr. Hubert U Pltilcld, or derma u- town, assistant 'state bacterlologlst.who iccenlly visited this city and, after in- )oetlng the water supply or Carbon dale, and visiting the dairy in Green field. ' the" milk from Whlcli was sus pected, took home with hlni samples of the water and the mill;, submitting iliem to u bacteriological' test. Dr. ritfleld's llndliig were submitted to Dr. L.ee, secretary of tho slate board uf health, who embodied them In a re port which was forwarded to Secretary Uussell Shepherd. 6r the local board o health, who "received ltNycstevdny. Last night a special mooting or the bo.trd was called1" td. receive 'the" lepitrt. The water supply in which the bac teriologist found pollution, in baetuia, "the colon bacillus," is that of the Con solidated Water company. Possible sources of pollution that Dr. Pltilcld specifies, are privies of houses on Ca naan street, which ate quite near the main distributing reservoir. The No. 4 reservoir, ho says, runs the risk on accoutft'of being "an oppn one, or being polluted by streams that "drain .farm yards, pig pens and often privies." The people on tho West Side who use the Crystal lake water not being affected In the least by typhoid, is taken as a ground for .excluding that water as a possible factor in. causing tho epidem ic. The Iteynshanhiust company's sup ply is mot Involved, the report saying s shows it to be of imuntnl piy is notii "the analysis The-finding of Dr. I'iUlehl caused somewhat, of a. surprise as clrc.um stanees pointed to Ihe milk of one deal er being tho cause of the epidemic. The public seemed to accept this opin ion. The water supply was hardly given a. thought as being a factor in the spread of typhoid. Tho board received the ltport and postponed action until later, the mem bers in the meantime to consider ways and means to the end of purifying the water supply complained of. An eaily .meeting t bo called to adopt some ran. There. 4vas ope suggestion by ir. isncs that councils win ne apnea o make appropriation for cleaning out he contaminating streams refened to. The Bacteriologist's Findings. Tho report of Dr. Lee, which ein- lodles tho findings of Dr. Pltfleld, the iactorlologlstis as follows: State. Board of Health, Philadelphia, Pa.. Dec. 2ti. 1WK. r. Ritssol 31. Shepherd, Seeretaiy Hoard of Health, Carbondalo, Pa, JDear Sir: I have received fnnii Dr. lobert L. Pltlleld, assistant baclctlolo- list, his report tft an investigation of tho water supply "and of tho mill: supply of yi)ur city In connection with tin outbreak ot typhoid foverj4rj;iie..rioi't .shows that tho eastern "part -of tho." town has been almost exclusively affected, It being sup plied by water from two sources, tho Con soltdated AV.itnr company and tho Htn'ii. Hhanhurst company, while tho western portion is- supplied by tho Consolidated AVate.r company fiom tho Crystal lake 'vertiow run. Tho Itoynshatihurst water is derived from urtcslun Wells Mink in un uninhabited part of tho counuy and tho analysis shows it to be of unusual purity. n .11...

This Is at lcusl twlco tho poitnlsslble number. In this specimen also, the colon bacillus was found. Tho presence of this bacillus al ways Indicate" pollution with exeteiii'jnt of some kind, UMtally Unit of human ba IngH, Causes of Pollution. .Ah possible sources of pollution of thli water, the Inspector mentions tho I'net that pi Ivies of houses on Cauiiau street, are unite near the walls of the tiiahi distributing reservoir, and that there is n possibility Dmt scepagu limy tako plaeu from them Into tho icsenolr.

The fact that tho people on tho western side who use Crystal lake water almost entirely mo free from thu lever affords ground for excluding that water ns a possible factor in causing the epidemic. Milk Supply Not Suspicious. As to tho milk supply, It appeals from the tepoi-L that the greater number of cases has occurred hi fumilloH .supplied by one particular dealer, it should be borne In liiliul, however, that he Is a veiy largo dealer, possibly the laiget-t 111 the city. Out of 215 families using the mill;, the fever bus made Its uppourunu In only twelve, and If 1 undei stand tho table lumlshed the bacteriologist by out board, ten of these families used the Con. solld.itcd water supply. A careful in spection was made or the dallies fiom which this dealer is Mippllod. They were lound lo bo about the average in clenu llness, and in almost every instance, sup plied with puie spring water; mllhei could It be found, that a case of typhoid had occulted near any of these dailies. There an two ways in which the typhoid geim finds its way Into milk, ono in tie use of poltuted water in washing the cans, the other is tlnoiigh tho hands of a milker who has hoen In close contact with .i ease of typhoid, or is hlmscll suf feilng from the disease, either in life earllfd stage ir daring the latter pint of convalescence. 'Die conditions dls coveted are not such as to warrant the suspicion that the genu was Introduced In the dairies hi either of these wavs. Possibly, the cans may have been washed In water doiivcd from the Consolidated company's supply. Tho board finds, therefoie, that while there are circumstances hi the distribu tion of the dlseas.0 whlcli lead lo suspicion of pollution of the milk of this supply, the conditions under which the milk K ptodiiced do not uppc.ii- to substantiate these suspicions. On tho oilier hand, thero is strong leason for consideiiug it probable, that ono source of the water supply is polluted and may he charge able with the production of the epidemic. Suggestion to the Public. The suggestions of the bonid me as fol lows: Pir.-t, lutisiniK.li as thu tuettion Is a largo one, covet lug a considerable num ber of cases, lasting tluough n consider able period of time and Involving u huge lerillory in tho matter of supply, with icgard to both the water supply and the milk supply, it Is riitilo Impossible tor a jingle bilcf inspection such ns could ho niado by an OMioit fiom u. distant; poinL, to do full justico to the question. It is nheroforo earnestly iccommendtrd that the local boaid of health should institute a systematic Inspection, both of tho en tile water shed, nnd of all the dairies Horn which the milk is hi ought to the city. In order to cany out this woik olfeU ively, It should be assigned to certain pel sons, and should bo can led on for u series of months. Dveiy branch, no mat ter how small, of the creeks w'lilUi supply tho res"i vohs should bo minutely snitched by competent men. This should Include the intake u-seivolr In tho gorge. A rep tcscutativo of the water company, as lor Instance their engineer and u repiesenla tive of the boaid of health, should bo as sociated in this investigation, and it would bo well for a physician to take part in It. The investigation is one wliluli your boaid Is fully competent to make, and a grave responsibility rests upon It to lo-e no tlmo in making an Inspection of tho most thorough chniaeter. As temporary precautious, 1 need hardly suggest tho obvious ones of tho boiling of all water lor dthiklng puipc-'t-s and tho stoilllnatlon of all mill;. Should Use Ctystal Lake Water. As the water from Crystal lake dot-s not appear to have been at fault, duilng tho recent outbreak, Itml ght bo well for tho company to use that to tho exclusion of these sources which appear to be moie or less polluted, 1 havo the honor to lift Vours very u uly.
