Xelief workers this week | j parried medical supplies and provis- J ' n> lo the typhoid stricken families of the section, and all citizens of the J community have been inocculated ' with the typhoid vaccine. In one family of the Hamby section y tin re developed seven cases of typhoid fever, and death has claimed one member of the family as a result. Another family in the same section ' has developed one case, and it is believed that with the preventative easures taken, the threatened epi- 1 demic in the community can be con- 1 trolled. 1 The inocculation campaign, which if^in 'n ^he countv October 1st, is ( ^ result of efforts of the county * vedical society whereby arrangements have been made for offering 're > inc^ccuiatlfon as a promotion I against typhoid and dihptheria to ev- 1 cry mm, woman and child in tlu county, the North Carolina State * K?a (I of Health and Cherokee county co-operating. , , A similar campaign .was conducted , ln the county last year and hundreds ?* People availed themselves of the ?P. a - .nicy of receiving ihis free inCcculation.
