Rev. IL M. North, in City Road Methodist Church yesterday even ing made a slap at denominational jealousy, of some church, members of other denominations. "I would to God", he said, "that you would be more jealous of God, more jeal ous of the Church, more jealous of the cautfe of Christ". He spoke for about two minutes along this line, creating a ripple of interest in the congregation. The Economist? wishes to impress upon its great family of readers the necennity of boiling all water use for drinking purposes if they would guard themselves against ty phoid fever. A trained nurse now attending aj typhoid fever patient in this cit recomends this advice and goes fur ther; She says: "If the people of Elizabeth do not boil their drinking water they are in imminent danger of an epi pemic of typhoid." One of the largest medical praci titioners in the city says boil your water. s i The people of Elizabeth City can ( not aftord to regard this advice tool lightly. Cases of typhoid fever ; are raging in this city just as they are raging in every other communi ty where not weather hold a sway. Typhoid fever is caused by a pqeci fic germ. This germ breeds- in wa ter. From one well or spring it is communicated to another. Waste from the sick room of a typhoid fe ver patient thrown on a back lot may be washed into the sou by heavy rains. Germs from this wa ter, multiplying into countless hun dreds every minute,, are thus com municated to the source whence a whole neighborhood draws its drinking water supply. That is why you find typhoid fever cases grouped within such a close radius of each other The Ladies Missionary Society of the First Baptist Church will meet in the annex of the church tomor row afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. there the little boy, who had suffer ed a relapse, called for a drink of water. Water was brought him di rect from the pump. You do tiot meau to tell me", said the doctor to the boy's parents 'that you have been giving him this water even since I left?" The parents affirmed that they had. . ."your boy will be dead in two hours", he cried. That night an undertaker tacked a bunch of crape on the door of that home. "If the drinking water given that boy hab been boiled, be would be li'' today", . says that physi cian. B i i tra ist-Jof; f Water. len to the advice of tbe i Be. . Would avoid an epidemic d' in this city, b"5! r' How to Kill the Germ. Now there is a way to.- kill this typhoid fever germ. There is only one way to kill it. When it is killed it may do you no harm. The way to kill it is to boil your water,. Boil every last drop of your water before you drink it. i' This newspaper warns its readers again that they are. endangering their lives every time they drink a I glass of unboiled water. They may by drinking this water fill their sys-, terns with the germs of typhosus and fall victims to their eubtle deadly attacks. We spoke just now of a doctor's advice to his patients. Here is a little story about one of this physi cian's patients who did not follow his advice. This doctor was called to attend a young boy who was sick and un conscious. By careful treatment be restored him to consciousness af ter a few days aad had him on the road to recovery. The youthful pa tient was fast gaining new life, the color was returning to his cheeks. He would have been alive and walk ing around within a few days. The boy had so improved that his par ents, poor people, thought they could then dispense with the doc tor's services. ' He told them he would continue his services without charge if he thought they would not carry out bis instructions after he had left. They promised faith fullyly to carry out bis instructions His principal advice was; "under no circumstances let tbe boy drink water that has not first been boiled. If you do he will die." - r ' v""dira I har-iw. f"n tvi t-- r-'' - '
