Abstract
The severity of the recent epidemic of typhoid fever in Chicago has given rise to some discussion concerning the relation of the city drinking water to the outbreak, and considerable interest has been aroused in the future possibilities, as well as the present conditions, of drainage disposal and water supply. The matter is of far more than local concern. The character of the Chicago water supply affects not merely the large body of persons continuously dependent on this supply, but also all those living in the territory immediately surrounding the city and commercially connected with it.

Not only is the health of individual visitors endangered by a polluted water, but cases of typhoid fever contracted in Chicago may be imported
