Typhoid Deaths Decline With Clean Water Progress
Dr Morris Fishbein notes typhoid mortality in 93 U S cities fell due to clean water, sewage, and food controls. Chicago dropped from historic high rates to under one death per 100 000 since 1925, with many regions reporting zero or very low typhoid deaths in 1934. The piece adds details on city comparisons and includes a note about the rapid growth of the balsa tree.
