A TYPHOID CARRIER.
OLD WOMAN SPREAD'S DISEASE
BY CABLE —PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT. Received Dee. 28, 1 p.m. NEW YORK, Dec. 27. Thirty-five cases of typhoid in Chicago, from which three patients died and five others are still serious, have been traced to Margaret Benge, an eighty-year-old typhoid car rier. The State Health Commissioner states that in November last Margaret cooked a squash taken from her garden, and everyone who ate of the dish caught the disease in a malignant form. Margaret had typhoid when ©he was in her sixties. She was recognised as a carrier, and agreed to avoid handling other people’s food, a iso promising not to- mi ingle with people outside her home.
