IMPROVED SANITATION.
Typhoid Fever Almost Wiped Out
In London.
A despatch from London, Eng-
land, says: The Registrar -Gener-
al's figures for the last week of
January furnish additional evidence
to support the belief that typhoid.
fever vein seeu beeome a rape dis-
ease in London. The total deaths
from thahoid only nunibered six,
and -.during the period only thirty
cases we're admitted to the London
Fever Hospital. A ,epecialistin the
disease'elaims it has become as.uare
in-Lonclon as typhus became twenty
years age: Many of the younger
medical men have never seen a ease,
aid they flook-ed to a city hospital
reeently when it was learned that
there was a typhoid patient there.
This specialist believes that in a
few years typhoid, like smallpox
and typhus, will become almost a
memory. This result is due almost
wholly to improved sanitation.
