In the course' thereof he spoke in part as folloTvs. has hundreds of communities, wherein the citizens are drinking now and then or at all times, impure water. "That explains the deadly frequency of typhoid fever in Iowa," Dr. Albert proceeded thus: "Such also may become at any time the source of epidemics of that dis-! ease and it is probably an impor- tant factor in lowering the genera! of the body.

"It is not always an easy matter to determine "what is a safe an-1 what is an unsafe -water supply.

"It has been shown that the purification of a water supply has a distinct effect in lowering the sen- era! mortality rate of a commanitr. It has now been quite conclusively that Haxen's Theorem, namely, that 'where one death fro-u typhoid fever has been avoided by use of better -water, probably two or three, from other causes have been ivpided' is quite generally applicable.

And further, when the bacterioloigcal an alysis is made our interpretation must be influenced by the kind oC bacteria that are present raiaer than by the number ot bacteria.
