Hello, Just checked this "Epidemic Timeline" and it shows different words for explaining "Typhoid Fever." http://hawkshome.net/misc_items/events/epidemic_timeline.htm FYI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoid_fever http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhus "Bilious Fever" seems to be an "archaic term" http://www.antiquusmorbus.com/English/EnglishB.htm http://www.homemedicine.ca/Articles/Bilious-Fever.html AND, a "sanitorium" is mostly for TB and/or "chronic illness" and/or "rest & relaxation." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanatorium I would think that a "Typhoid hospital" would have to be on an island or in a remote location so everyone residing there could be quartantined (from the general public). Here's an interesting article about the islands in "Long Island Sound" http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=990CE4D7173BF93AA35754C0A963958260&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss There are many web sites which refer to a "Typhoid hospital." But maybe they only existed in major cities around the world. History of "quarantine" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarantine Betty (near Lowell, MA)
