Description

Historical document outlining the first known dye traces conducted in Southeastern Minnesota in response to a typhoid outbreak suspected to be caused by infiltration of waste water into public and private drinking water supplies. S.P. Kingston was a public health engineer for the Minnesota Department of Health District No. 3. Also included is a outline summary of the article contents reported by Betty Wheeler of the University of Minnesota Earth Sciences Department. Four traces were conducted in three places in Fillmore County and one in Olmsted county.
