Hypochlorite Water Treatment Reduces Typhoid Deaths
Engineer A Jennings of the Chicago Union Stock Yards cites a thorough eleven year trial of hypochlorite disinfection, noting about six hundred cities adopted the method. Eight cities Baltimore Cleveland Des Moines Erie Evanston Jersey City Kansas City Omaha show typhoid death rate drops from 302 to 144 per 100 000, a 51 percent reduction. Jennings adds 1914 was a typhoid year and these measures likely averted more deaths.
