This year, as in 1907 and 1906, the disease was fairly uniformly 
distributed among persons regardless of occupations. 
INFECTION BY CONTACT. 
Of the 542 cases, 66, or about 12 per cent, gave a history of hav- 
ing had, within the thirty days prior to onset of illness, more or less 
free and intimate association with typhoid patients in the febrile 
stage of the disease, and were attributable to infection by direct 
contact.
