Pere 1 states that he was able to isolate the typhoid 

 bacillus from drinking water in Algiers, where typhoid 

 fever is endemic, making its appearance every year in

Vincent, 2 confirming the researches of previous in- 

 vestigators, 3 again found the typhoid bacillus in the 

 Seine water being supplied to Paris during the summer

Martin, 4 in a paper dealing with an outbreak of 

 typhoid fever in Bordeaux, states that the typhoid 

 bacillus was found by Ponchet in the public water 

 supply. 



Fodor, 5 in a paper read before the International 

 Hygienic Congress held in London in 1891, describes 

 an outbreak of typhoid fever at Budapest, in which he

Kowalski 6 states that in 2,000 samples of water
