? Fifty One Cases and Four : Deaths at Hammond Hospital in Past Few Months.

I iO.OOJ i

Typhoid fever, a disease of flith ani reelected sanitarv measures, cost lhe

Cities of the Calumet rcjjlen in the last eight months.

This is a conservative estimate, according to fr. D. S .'e.'loff. hou... pfiy-J fieian at St. Margaroi's hospital. Ham.; 1.1 rid. who has made a study of lVver! cases at the hospital fir.ee the first ..f the year. The rtsu'.'.a his vor. ; tire embodied in an iaterestins paper which he read at the last meeting or j tnv Lake County Medicul Society. Kifty-one eases cazno before nun at' the hospital divided by cit;es as f.U-j l..w: luramond. 5, Gibson, 1; Whit-j ing Kast Chicago, 13; lna:ani x.-"-1 bor, 23. Of these tiftern w ere Amen- I cans and thirty-five ' were foreigners;' there were sixteen males and thirtyfour females, five wire between 1 an l; 10 years; twelve bctw cm U and 2.'; fifteen between and 30, and eigh-, teen between SO and 4-,'. Four, or, e:ght per crn: of the cases, died. i The paper Sons into the matter so thoroughly a.id brings out so torcibly, the region's crim.r.ul neglect in iK-al-! ing with Its water supply r.d sanitary, measures that it is published herewith:' "Typhoid Fever Kp.deni.es and P-s- j . s.bilities to 1'revent Than," by B. S--i coloff. S. B. M. D . , House l-hyciciun at St. Margaret's hospital. Sept. 'J,' liZi. Hammond. Ind. j "This essay is b-se-d on a study otl St typhoid cases treated in this hos-j pi"al for the last eight months. W j have studied all phases of the disease,' paying spec.al attention to the ctllogyi end the possibility of eliminating epi-j demies. "Osier, in his remarkable treatise on typhoid fever says: -Widely distributed throughout all parts cf the world it: . probably presents everywhere the same essential characteristics and is

everywhere un index, of the intelligence of a community. Imperfect sew. crage and contaminated water supply ' are two special conditions favoring tnc . distribution of the bacilli; filth, overcrowding and bad ventilation are accessories In lowering the resistance of the individual exposed. While front ' an infected person the disease may hi epread by fingers, food and flies. "Thes,e few- words tell us with remarkable, prtciseness all we want O

1 know whyMyphoid fever prevails r certain communities .

"Studying the records of our typhoid! patients we found that one community' furnished 16 per cent of all the cases. We had an opportunity to get acquainted with the sanitary conditions ofi that particular community. Tha so- ' called better class (with means) doeli not use- the citv water supply, whici j

they call typhoid water, for drinking purposes. They purchase their water from various concerns which supply the city with drinking water. SonW

of the "lower class" a drinking water from a

in; pect.on disposal of garbage, guarjiiitco of convalescent typhoids as earners. prophylactic vaccination which pioved very effective in thu armies of the last war, etc. All nieiuio.id if properly carried out will do away with tpyhoid epidemics. "Let ua estimate the financial loss

suffered by the communities in Questlon through typhoid for the last s months., 'ih.s hospital took care otl tome 60 ' patients. It is reasonable, to s-uppose that Gary and other neighboring hospitals took, care of as many j and an equal number received medical: oire at home. This will give, us a, total of some ISO typhoid patients. I On an average every patient remained j in the hospital 2S days. It takes atj hast on.) more week of convt!t-acrici before, pati-nt Is able to return toj work. On an average then every p , went was not aloe to work for 3j djys times ISO patients equals 6,300; 4-..v .n f n nverare of $lter day. to-;

tals $25,200 loss in earnings and hospital and physician at a conservative estimate of $100 per patient, gives us a turn total of 143.000. Sixteen deaths. Bet us surpose that at least half of thtm were the rna:r support of their family. These families now fall a burden on the community for years to come. This conservative? estimate brings the total to Jjii.ooo los-s for 8 months. And such epidemic we are told are oft repeated in these communities. "Is the administration of these communities so lavishly extravagant a3 to waste knowingly such enormous sums of money and valuable labor in time when the country Is so nmt'i in need of it? No. we are told. They are very economical. They do not even spend mom y to build their own water supnlv system, which is a prt-
