Typhoid Costs State
Half Million YearAustin, Texas. July 14.—Dr. Geo.
W. Cox, State Health Officer, esti-
mates that the State of Texas suf-
fers an economic loss of one-half mil-
lion dollars annually from typhoid
fever, a preventable disease.
Last year 378 Texans died of typ-
hoid and approximately 4,000 were
ill with the disease. The average
duration of the illness is from six to
eight weeks plus a convalescent per-
iod of about six weekss. This means
that typhoid is responsible for the
loss of approximately 200,000 work
days each year in Texas, with the
attendant loss of income over a sev-
eral months period.
Early fall and late summer each
year sees a tremendous increase in
the prevalence of typhoid in Texas,
due to vacation travel and the haz-
ards brought to the local population
by itinerant labor.
Typhoid is particularly prevalent
in those sections where there is seas-
onal employment bringing into the
area great numbers of laborers who
live in tents, shacks and trailers
without adequate sanitation.
The local communities have the
problem of dealing with this shifting
population put squarely on their own
shoulders. Insofar as is feasible,
the itinerant population should be
immunized against typhoid and
should be made to conform with san-
itary regulations (particularly with
.regard to disposal of waste) as a
protective measure to the permanent
community population.
Typhoid fever can be controlled by
the use of pure water, pasteurized
milk or clean milk, clean foods, prop-
er disposal of sewage, screening
against the fly and destroying its
breeding places, by search for and
care of human carriers, and by gen-
eral practice of immunization.
In selecting a place for a vacation,
choose one where you know that the
water and milk supply is pure. Be
sure that the kitchen and dining
room are screened to protect the
food from flies. When camping it is
best to boil water used for drinking,
unless you know that it is pure.
Clear, sparkling spring water is of-
ten nevertheless polluted.
