Not illustrated. 1903 Excerpt: ...has been suggested that such an occurrence may be due to the presence in the intestine of irritative saprophytic germs, causing a profuse diarrhoea capable of sweeping out of the alimentary canal any typhoid bacilli. Much the same series of events would occur in cases, if such are possible, of immunity of certain individuals. It is within the range of possibility that the specific germ of typhoid may be transported from place to place, and from person to person, and eventually to a milk supply by an immune man. This, or something akin to it, may be the explanation of certain epidemics which have appeared to originate de novo. The urine is the other chief excretion by which the bacilli of typhoid fever are voided from the body. Horton-Smith has demonstrated that the urine of typhoid patients contains the bacilli of the disease in the proportion of I in every 4 cases. He has also shown that as a rule it is towards the end of the disease, or during convalescence, that this condition occurs. Further, whilst it is always difficult to find the bacilli in the stools, in the urine it is always easy, for when they are present they are nearly always in pure culture, and not uncommonly they are present in such extraordinary numbers that one cubic centimetre may contain many thousands of micro-organisms (Horton-Smith). In London, Horton-Smith found typhoid bacilli present in the urine in 25 per cent. of all cases examined. Working in Boston, Richardson obtained a positive result in 22.5 per cent. of the cases examined. Both investigators found the bacilli present, in certain cases, in such large numbers that the urine was rendered turbid by their presence. Nor are such cases rare. Out of the cases in which the specific bacillus was present in the urine, in as many as 1...
