Ill studying the history of this outbreak it was interesting to note that all of the cases were contined to those living at the College, both teachers and students being afflicted, but among the twenty-four servants who also lived at the College not one case developed. Neither was there any sickness in Dr. King's family, consisting of nine persons, who reside in the College yard. There are no wells anywhere upon the premises, the water supply for the College, Dr. King's residence and the barns coming from the city mains. The College dairy furnished all of the milk supply to every one residing within the College yard until April 19, 190G, when additional milk from McD. Watkins was taken, and outside milk was bought from this date until May 30, from one gallon to three and one-half gallons per day being purchased. This outside milk was used both by the servants and those boarding at the College, but not by Dr. King's family, he continuing to use only the milk from the College dairy. Of those who were sick, probably at least six did not drink raw milk, while some who were not sick were inveterate milk drinkers. Some of the ice cream eaten at the College was made from milk produced on the premises and some was made from milk furnished by outside dairymen, but most of the cream was purchased. All of those who were sick ate ice cream, and this led us to investigate the dairies of those men who furnished milk to the ice-cream man. The investigation included the ice and water supplies of the city, the cases of typhoid in the city, McD. Watkins', Dotger's and Culp's dairies, and Elizabeth College. For convenience I have divided the i-eport into the following heads: 1. Ice supply. 2. Water supply. 3. Typhoid in the city. 4. Milk supplies. 5. Elizabeth College. L Icc Suppl}/.—It is a habit in Charlotte, as it is in many places, to put ice for cooling purposes directly into the milk and drinking water. I understand that all the ice supplied to the city is manufactured by a local concern which drew practically all of its water supply from August 1, 1905, to June 1, 1000, from an abandoned shaft of a gold mine. The superintendent of the City Water Works informed us that the ice company did not use water enough to make it worth while to present it with a bill during that period, and that the plant was running at its normal capacity during those months. An examination of this abandoned shaft showed that it was 50 feet deep, the water being unusually clear and cold. The superintendent of the plant told me that all of the water used in the manufacture of ice was distilled before being frozen, but he also told me that it was an unusually pure water and perfectly safe to drink.
