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: "
