Typhoid Epidemic
For several years, typhoid was one of the most complex killers of its victims. In the first week of contracting the disease, those afflicted would get fevers, lose white blood cells, have bloody noses and intense abdominal pain. By week two, they begin to act delirious and weaken to exhaustion. By week three, a typhoid patient would endure all types of painful symptoms, either surviving or dying by this period.
