Typhoid on Downgrade "The firs·t nine months of 1928 brought only 675 cases of typhoid iever for the entire state," Dr. l{awlings said, "and unless we experience a post-season epidemic, we shall finish the year with less than 1,000 cases all told. Last year, carrying the low annual record up to that time there were 927 cases for the corres~ ponding period and 1,278 for the final figure. As late as 1910 there were more than one thousand deaths in a single year while at the opening of the twentieth century 2,000 fatalities and 20,000 cases per annum were accepted as the usual course of events · in Illinois.

Pure Milk Factor "Then milk was recognized as an important means of travel for the typhoid germ. Pasteurization settles matters with it there, however, and now with about 75 per cent of the market milk in the state being you pasteurized a great means of spreading typhoid as well as other infections has been eliminated. "Ten years· from now we hope that the people of Illinois can gather in a great jubilee ceremony at the buria! rites of typhoid fever if the present degree of sanitary control over water and milk is maintained and a reasonable degree of progress continues toward drinks when away from home. During the fiscal year recently closed our sanitary engineers made 1,675 inspections of water systems, sewer facilities and milk supplies compared with 350 in the corresponding period of 1921. Their work, however, is like that of a . detective. They gather the information and its up to officials and ·individuals to manage their affairs accordingly."
