BULLETIN of the NORTH CAROLINA BOARD n EA m Li 1 il. Published Monthly at the Office of the Secretary of the Board, at Wilmington, N. C. SUBSCRIPTION FIFTY CENTS A YEAR. H. T. Bahnson, M. D., /'w.,.Salem. R. H. Lewis, M. D.,..........Raleigh. J. M. Baker, M. D.,..........Tarboro. J. A. Hodges, M. D.,..........Fayetteville. S. Westray Battle, M. D.,____Asheville. J. H. Tucker, M. D.,.........Henderson. Prof. F. P. Venable, .........Chapel Hill. J. L. Ludlow, C. E.,........Winston. Thomas F. Wood, M. D., Secretary and Treasurer^ Wilmington. Entered at the post-office at Wilmington, N. C., as second-class mail matter. Vol. VI. SEPTEMBER, 1891. No. 6. Typhoid fever does not seem to be decreasing in the State yet, judging from the reports for August. For July there were fifty-one reports received, and thirty-four of them showed typhoid fever ; while for August fifty-two counties reported, thirty-eight of them reporting typhoid. In some of the localities reporting it for July, the disease was on the wane in August. In July, 1889, the disease was reported from thirty-eight counties, and in 1890 from forty-one counties. In August, 1889, it was reported from forty-one, and in 1890 from thirty-seven. It would appear from this that the disease is not any more prevalent this year than usual, but while the number of counties reporting is not more, the general tone of the reports shows the disease to be of greater virulence and frequency in the counties that do report it. Ice-cream Poisoning. Dr. George S. Hull, in writing on the above topic, in the Medical News, says that about four years ago he published a report of some experiments that he was making with a view to ascertaining the toxic agent in cases of ice-cream poisoning: since that time he has been following up this line of investigation, and now feels that a fuller exposition of his views may prove of use to the profession. If the old theory, that cases of poisoning, not due to the introduction of foreign substances, such as arsenic, were due to the milk having been taken from cows that were diseased, were true, why should not milk which is consumed so much more largely, cause a far greater amount of sickness? And the same question comes up when we consider Dr. Vaughn's claim, that the illness is due to a substance which he calls tyrotoxicon, which is the product of a pecuHar kind of fermentation, but the ferment which produces it is not precisely known, neither are the conditions which are most favorable to its development matters of exact knowledge. In trying to obtain this product, he speaks of the great difficulty in getting the milk into the exact condition necessary for its generation. The fermentation which elaborates the ptomaine would, therefore, seem to be but a fortuitous occurrence, in nowise comparable in constancy to lactic fermentation. One would infer that tyrotoxicon would most likely be present in
