The Topeka Daily State Journal, Wednesday, July 16, 1919 July 16, 1919
Typhoid On Increase.
More Cases Are Reported to City Health Officer Brown.

Scattered cases of typhoid are appearing in Topeka. Three were reported by the
public health department this morning. The cases are scattered and have occurred
entirely among young children.
The three typhoid cases are: Earl HICKSON, age 22 months, 1012 Locust street;
Welden SHEARD, age 10, 510 Lane street; and Thomas MITCHELL, age 9, 466 Freeman
street.
One case of diphtheria was reported. Irene TALTY, age 6, 124 Clay street, has
contracted that disease.
According to Dr. Earle G. BROWN, city health officer, more than 150 persons have
taken the free typhoid inoculations. He urges that fathers and mothers bring
their children and come themselves to obtain the inoculation treatement. From
reports made by many physicians a large number of persons are taking the
inoculations from their family physicians. For those who do not care to assume
the expense of treatment, the same treatment may be obtained free at the clinic
in the city hall.
