DR. BAILEY WARNS AGAINST TYPHOID IN NEW YORK CITY

Members of the University returning to New York for the Christmas recess were warned to have themselves innoculated against typhoid fever it they are not sure of their immunity from previous innoculation, in a statement made yesterday by Dr. M. H. Bailey, medical adviser to the University.

The New York Board of Health reports 300 cases of typhoid in widely scattered sections of the city. Attempts are being made to locate the source of infection, which a careful inspection of the water and milk supply has failed to disclose. Oysters and other shellfish are under suspicion as possible means of solution. Dr. Frank J. Monayhan, head of the New York Board of Health, attributes the prevalence of the disease to the abnormally dry weather.
