STOP THE TYPHOID FEVER EPIDEMIC
THE time has come for radical action in the typhoid fever epi
demic now ravaging Harrisburg and vicinity. Typhoid is a
preventable disease and at all costs it must be eradicated.
Blush as we may that such a step is necessary and regardless of our
reputation, for the time being, as a clean and healthful community,
we must get together and wipe out for all time this monster that
is now laying our people low by tens and dozens because some
persons arc violating the laws of health and hygiene. Regard for
the rights of business must not be permitted to stand in the way of
official action. If ice cream is to blame, then close every ice cream
factory to which the finger of suspicion points. If the fault lies in
the milk supply, then let the hand of the law fall heavily upon the
offenders. If there be other causes all should be removed from the
danger zone. This is no time for the consideration of anything but
the health and life of the people as a whole. Nobody knows where
the monster will strike next. It's awful form lurks on the
threshold of every home.
To the safeguarding of the people the whole strength in
dividually and collectively of the city commissioners, the health
authorities, city and State; the medical societies and reputable
dealers in products, the purity of which has been assailed, must be
concentrated. If Dr. Raunick needs help in the way of advice, or
additional assistants, or money with which to meet the situation,
he should be given them without stint. Indeed he MUST have
every weapon available with which to fight the scourge that now
besets us. The people will be content with nothing else. Money
is as nothing compared to life and health and the city's health
board should call upon council for all that it needs. The voters
will stand back of them to the limit.
As for the Telegraph, it is sorry that these radical steps are
necessary, that any business should be injured or that I larrisburg's
fair reputation should be sullied, but it would not be true to the
interests of the people if it longer remained silent. It will serve
to the extent of its ability within its sphere. Immediate and hearty
eo-operation of everybody is essential if the epidemic is to be halted.
We must all get together and work together intelligently. Duty
demands it.
QUICK ACTION
BY COUNCIL IS
PUBLIC DUTY
Special Meeting Will Be Called
to Pass Emergency Measure,
It Is Understood
A special meeting of Council will be
called within the next few days to
pass emergency measures in connec
tion with the typhoid fever epidemic,
giving the city health department ab
solute control of the entire situation,
it was stated in city official circles
to-day.
Action will probably be taken fol
lowing the close of the city health
bureau meeting late this afternoon.
Just what measures will be adopted
were not mentioned, but the milk and
cream supply will probably be gone
