The roport showed that of all the sam- ples sent only one showed contamination which would cause typhoid. This sample was taken from the spring near the barn of Mr. Beebe and the analysis showed that the contamination resulted from in- testinal contents. The water from this spring had been used to rinse the milk cans used by Mr. Beebe. The other sam- ples of water and mik wers found to contain nothing of an injurious nature. An investigation of the spring and i's ! surroundings was made on Wednesdav by City Health Officer Brophy, Town Health Officer George Thompson and Milk In- spector Paul F. Gadle. Tt was found that in all probability the contamination was due to surface drainage from the barn. The most recent case of typhoid reported to the health officer is that of a Broad street woman who drank some of the milk in question at the home of & friend whom she was wisiting.
