Typhoid Fever in Meean Meer

Dear Sir,?Dr. Bryden in liis " Vital Statistics" makes reference to my opinion that the well water at Meean Meer was the cause of typhoid fever in the 85th regiment there from 1868 to 1870. The enclosed extracts from the annual medical reports of the regiment are herewith forwarded, in the hope that their bearing on Dr. Bryden's "generalisations," and the importance of the subject nt the present time, may at this distant date justify their publication. These generalisations are? ?That typhoid is the disease of young soldiers, occurring principally in the hot weather of the first year's residence in India.
