a Our estimate. 
It is evident that the disease was fairly uniformly distributed 
among persons regardless of occupation. The rate is seen to have 
been somewhat disproportionatel}" high among electricians, hostlers, 
porters and helpers in stores, steam railroad employees, street rail- 
Avay employees, telegraph and telephone operators, iron and steel 
workers, machinists, paper hangers and plumbers. 
INFECTION BY CONTACT. 
Of the 523 cases, 70, or about 13 per cent, gave a history of having 
had within thirty days prior to onset of illness free and intimate asso- 
ciation with typhoid patients in the febrile stage of the disease, and 
were attributable to infection by direct contact. In these TO cases 
are not included several giving a history of contact, but considered 
as being more probably attributable to some other factor such as milk.
