296 THE HEALTH BULLETIN 289^ WHERE TYPHOID SPREADS There is probably no communicable disease in this country the spread of which we know with as much certainty as typhoid fever. The manner in which it spreads or the way by which it reaches human beings is a sordid story. So filthy are the facts, as well as the factors, in the spread of typhoid fever, that for this reason it has been called the ^'national disgrace." The plain facts about its spread are these: The germs are found only in open-back privies, stables, garbage cans, etc., to unscreened kitchens, dining rooms, and dairies. They infect food and drink with typhoid germs, causing unsuspecting human beings to contract the disease. Personal un-cleanliness, particularly of the hands, is another means of spreading the disease. The accompanying-,- picture shows plainly the surroundings conducive to typhoid—an open fly-exposed privy and barn, unscreened kitchen and dairy, and fly-infected food and drink. The HOW WE GET TYPHOID. the discharges of the human body, either in the excreta or urine; these have to be swallowed, usually in wa-tei% milk, or with other food, before a human being can have typhoid; the three principal factors in the spread of typhoid are filth, fingers, and flies; and the control of typhoid fever is practically the control of these three factors. Filth contains the germs of typhoid, and is carried to food and drink mainly by fingers and flies. Flies go from flies go directly from the stables, the privy, and the dog to the cakes and pies on the table. Such conditions, besides being disgustingly fllthy, are an open door to disease and death. Screen the doors and windows of the house and milk room, protect the well and make the privy fly-proof by building it fly-tight down to the ground and placing it over a pit two or three feet deep by two or three feet square, and have it at least two hundred feet from the well.
