"Contact" ia a convenient term to indicate the spread of the infection directly or indirectly as a result of cloee association between the sick and the sound. Typhoid fever infection then may he passed from one to an other through kissing, soiled hands, remnanta of food, infected thermome ters. or tongue depressors, contami nated towels or other fabric, cups, spoons, glasses etc. The infection may al»o be spread in the household by flies, fingers and various other means usually difficult to trace, and which are, therefore, all included under this group. Regarded in this light, contacts play a large role i nthe spread of dia eaee. Studiex of the incidence of typhoid fever in our largest hospitals, show that typhoid fever ia at least twice nnd may be eight times as prevalent among those who come in close and frequent association with the person sick with the disease, aa among thi population at large. Further, the dia eaae contracted under such condition i seems to me a course of more than ordinary severity, with a greater number of complications and with a high mortality. Typhoid fever.
