'4 POLLUTING <STREAMS. • SOME OF THE WORST epidemics of typhoid fever have been, in mown= twin towns where the people drink the clear water of. some tumbling mountain stream. No doubt the -thought o the city fathers is that water that is so limpid and so filled with airby falls and rapictl cannot- be impure. , .,- . '. Whenever it has been possible to run down the. source of infection it been found that some group of people have been polluting the stream, t king they were doing no.harm because "running 'water purifies itself," k according: to the popular idea. Every yeara certain number of campers come back, to their homes suffering from typhoid fever. In many instances it has been found that the unfortunates had camped on the bank of some beautiful mountain stream. The water :in -this stream was so cold and ; clear . that the campers had no hesitation in drinking it freely. Ofttimes a mile or so up the stream an- other party of campers stopping on the banks of the stream were polluting directly or indirectly by polluting its banks. Among the campers who take 'to mountains are many typhoideon- valeseents 'and carriers. When such pollute a stream there is a fair chance that typhoid will develop, for the rapid flow of a mountain: stream carries the bacilli' to down -stream consumers before there has been time for purification. The following are the Provincial laws regarding pollution of waters (Sections 90-91 Public Health Act, Ontario) "The -Provincial Board shall have the general supervision of all springs, Wells, ponds, lakes, streams, or rivers used as a source for a public water. supply withreference to their purity, together with the waters feeding the l same; andshall examine `the same from time to time when the necessity 'for such examination arises,and inquire what,. if any, pollution"exists and the cause thereof." 2 Geo •V. c'. 58,1s. 90. • "(1) ` No garbage, excreta, manue, vegetable or ; animal matter or filth shall be discharged into or be deposited" in .any of the lakes, rivers, streams, or other waters in Ontario or on the shores or banks thereof." "(2) The owners and officers of boats and other vessels plying upon any such lake, river, stream, or other water shall so dispose of the garbage, excreta, manure, vegetable or animal matter or ,filth, upon such boats or vessels as not to create 'a nuisance or enter or pollute such lake, river, stream, or other water." "(3) Residents of a health resort or summer resort shall so dispose elf ,garbage, excreta, manure,' vegetable or animal matter or filth as not to, create„, a nuisance' or permit of its gaining entrance to or polluting any such lake, river,' stream, or other water." "(4) Any person who contravenes any of the provisions of this section shall incur .a penalty not exceeding $100." 2 Geo. V. c. 58, s. 91. VACCINATION AGAINST TYPHOID FEVER. Those who go camping or who visit summer resorts where there may be a question about the purity of the water or as to the general sanitary i+' conditions would do well to have their doctor vaccinate them against typhoid and paratyphoid fever. The record of the Canadian Army for 1916 in respect to these diseases is an object lesson worth considering. The Department of Militia and Defence have just announced that for the twelve months -eliding December 31st, 1916, 167 eases only of Typhoid Fever were reported -as having occurred amongst the many thousands of men of the C. E. F. in Canada, and this, notwithstanding the fact that Typhoid Fever is a disease especially affecting young adults from seventeen { to thirty' years of age, and a disease which,is endemic in all parts of Canada. This comparative freedom on the part of the C. E. F. is seen to be most striking when it is recalled that, during the Boer War, one man out of. very nine in the British Forces in South Africa was invalided through this disease, and that in the Spanish:American War, of 107,000 men in the ;Camps at Tampa, Florida, and elsewhere, who had not left the shores of•' '.the United States, 20,000 contracted the disease: The remarkable coati, 'Can only be attributed to the process of inoculation. The Provincial Board of Health for Ontario has supplied to date all the Typhoid and Paratyphoid Vaccine used by the -entire Canadian^ -Ex- peditionary Force (abort 450,000 men). ,• In all, nearly 600,000 doses have been supplied free of dost. -': Typhoid inoculation is simple, devoid of any danger whatever, ensures almost certain safety against typhoid, and is supplied free of charge to anyone: " ST, MYIARYS.--Ater an Wnesa of two months or more Adeline; Lindsay, wife of 'Prof. John At MacVannell of Columbia University, New York, who died two years ago, did Friday, at the age •oi 44 yeard.
