This means that she was a healthy carrier: in other words, she did not look sick, and she showed no signs of sickness. However, because she was in contact with other people, they would contract the typhoid. Typhoid Mary carried the sickness for years, transferring it to other people, but she never showed signs of the sickness herself.
