In a bold move to safeguard the health of its citizens, the city of Wheeling, West Virginia, has taken drastic measures to eliminate the scourge of typhoid fever. For decades, the city’s water supply had been a ticking time bomb, spewing out some 150,000 typhoid germs per glassful. But thanks to the tireless efforts of Chief Sanitary Engineer Mr. K.S. Tisdale, the city has recently completed a state-of-the-art water purification plant capable of processing 250,000 gallons of water daily.
