Information From the South Carolin^f
Medical Association To Help In
the Battle A|:ainst Disease
In cbnsiderinit typhoid fever preven
tion, we are conwSfced with three es
sential factors: *the carrier prob
lem; 2, hygriene and sanitation, and
S, typhoid immunization with typhoid
bacterin. We may consider these fac
tors in importance as enumerated.

PROSPERITY
My friend, James F, Faber, city ed
itor of the Valley Herald, published at
Chaska, Minnesota, sends me a mem-

that she is the original and only ty- '•nd the city is providing a good liv-
phoid carrier. We must, however, con itig for nearly ninety bu.'^iness and
sider that there art* many hundred professional men besides their em-

R period of at least six months and
that two per cent of tho.se who have
typhoid fever spread the disease in
this manner for the balance of their
lives. A carrier may spread typhoid
germs by handling the food that we
cat. Flies m¥y spirad typhoid germs
from the patient’s or carrier’^ excreta
to food. Well water rs often contami
nated fiom excreta.
Hygiene and.sanitation will do more
to prevent typh(^ fever than any
SAVINGS
There is more money in the savings
banks of the L’nited State.s than evert
befoi*e in our national history. In New*;
York state alone savings hanks de-j
positk were more than five thousand j
million dollars on the first of .lanu-
ary. Thi.s money i.s owned by more
than fire and one-half million depos-

certainly not “broke” when savings

pure dripking water, clean food un-
contaminated by flies, all are of para-
leixisits inciea.se TTlce~that. Folks are^
putting their money into safe places j

are not quite sure yet what is going
so much typhoid fever that he is often
called the typhoid fly.
Typhoid immunization with typhoid
bacterin serv’es as a safety check
against contracting typhoid fever af
ter all other precautions that have
been mentioned, have been observed.
Typhoid bacterin will materially re
duce the number of cases by produc
ing an aiiificial immunity, lasting
to hapjien in the future. .Fust as soon
as condition.s seem to be stabilized
there will he plenty of funds available
for inve.stment in promising enier-
lirises.
CREDIT
Taking the country a.s a whole, the
banks are full of money, but it is
about two and one-half yeans. It is AnJ^^^^der than ever for the avei-age per-
excelient control method when an epi
demic is threatened. Typhoid fever
may be banished by the intelligent co
operation of the public in observing
simple precautionary rules.
The question is often asked, “Who
should take typhoid bacterin, why
should it be taken and when?” Every
one who is exposed to typhoid fever
is certainly in need of typhoid bac
terin. All who care for the typhoid
patient, the nurse and any other aU
tendants. Whenever there is doubt as
son to borrow money from the banks.
The reason for this is very clear.
Fewer*i-»eople than ever before ai*e in
a position to give a banker reasonable
assurance that they will be able to
pay a loan ahen it is due.
It-ia nut shortage of money that is
keeping us poor; it is shortage of
creilit. The few^ who have goo<l cre<lit
can bonx)w money cheaiier than ever
befoi*e.
I don’t know how it would work, but
it seems to me there is some merit in
to the safety and purity of drinking, suggestion that if the banks would
water, it is wise to be immunized. everybody en«»ugh to |>ay their
cationist.s often take a big chance money would lH.*gin to ciiculate
