It has been estimated that 75% of typhoid epidemics are water-borne, and it is not surprising, therefore, that many attempts have been made to prove the presence of the specific bacillus in the suspected waters, although the bacteriological examination for this purpose has always been recognised as most difficult and uncertain.

1 Since the above was written P. W. Bassett-Smith (Journ. Prevent. Med. July, 1905) has recorded some experiments on the germicidal action of various metals. He finds that “zinc or iron coated with zinc…after 24 to 48 hours appears to free the water from typhoid organisms”, and he considers therefore that a galvanized iron tank is most valuable for storage purposes.
