There is good reason to believe that theinfection may be carried by flies. As with typhoid fever atypical cases, even so mild that theycan be recognized only by the help of the laboratory, play animportant part in the distribution of infection. The Bacillen-trager, that is, persons who have been exposed to the diseaseand have had but mild symptoms, or none at all, may for sometime continue to be sources of danger to persons and to placesby discharging cholera bacilli in their Plan ofMILLINOCKET-MAINE Showing Distribution of EpidemicCholeraand Typhoid-Subsequentto Water PollutionFebruary and March-1904 NOTE Cholera sh.+ X\ Typhoid shown thus mX Cholera and Typhoid shWafer Mains shown thusServers Shown thus -• * Jreportofstateboa1904main
