PAGE TWO the Franklin press and the! Highlands maconian THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1939 TO CONDUCT 13 TYPH0IDCL1NICS Health Department Warns From Contaminated Food And Water Da Vinci Inventions Exhibited in Milan I licitor Typhoid fever is a filth born dis ease which can be prevented. Rare ly, if ever, can a case of typhoid fever be excused as unavoidable for a case of typhoid fever in itself speaks of negligence. Neglect may be in failure to receive the preven tive vaccination or in failure to . keep a clean environment. A popu lar forerunner of cases of , typhoid fever is the old insanitary privy, particularly the . one .which empties over a stream. Typhoid fever usually occurs in those persons who have unfortu nately eaten food or water which has been contaminated by excreta from a person who harbors the ivphoid tjerm. The majority of cases are of water born origin and jnost often occur in people who Jive in rural areas for almost all rural water supplies are potentially contaminated. No open spring is ever safe. Before a spring can pos sjbly be made safe it must be closed. Likewise a well must be properly sealed with cement to make it safe. Any well that has a bucket coming into contact with hands is a potential source of typhoid fever. About 100 per cent of all cases of typhoid fever oc curs in unvaccinated persons. Vac cination effectively protects one from the dangers of typhoid fever for about two years, at which time it should be repeated. There is no lifetime immunity to typhoid fever Even a person who has had the .disease .should continue to have the vaccination at two year intervals. tfetore vaccination against ty phoid fever was discovered and popularized, typhoid was one o our greatest menances. Today ty phoid fever is relatively rare due to public interest in vaccination and community sanitation. Do your part to make Alacon county free from typhoid fever by having each I member of your family vaccinated every two years, having your spring or well closed in for safety and by having a sanitary privy or toilet installed. Typhoid fever is no longer excusable among civilized and intelligent people. A schedule of 13 typhoid ' clinics to be conducted by the county health department is as follows: .
