New York.—Report of tlie remark
able results obtained - by the use of
anti typhoid vaccine in tbu Uuitqd
States army Was made by Major K. I<\
Russell of the army medical corps in
an address before the Harvey society
at the Academy of Medicine.
In Jacksonville In ISOS there were
more than 1,000 cases of typhoid fever
among 10,000 troops, .and the mortality
was very high, S7 per cent of the total
deaths being due to typhoid. In 1012.
tbe first year of compulsory anti
typhoid inoculation in tbe army, out of
an army force of 5S.000 men there were
only fifteen cases of undoubted' ty
phoid fever, with only two deaths.
Dr. Russell says this record is un-
eqnaled elsewhere In the world.
“The basis upon which rest the origi
nal studies which led up to the perfec
tion of anti-typbold inoculation.’’ says
Dr. Russell, “was the observed produc
tion of practically complete and per
manent immunity as tire result of an
attack of typhoid fever. The use of
vaccine in the United States army was
begun in 1909 and met with such suc
cess that in September of 1911 its ad
ministration in the army was made
compulsory for all .men under forty-
five years of age. Ours 1b the only
army in which its use Is compulsory.
In our army alone Is tbe three dose In
oculation employed; heno we cannot
fairly compare our results with those
obtained by only one or two doses. It
may be said, however, that the three
dose method confers a greater degree
of immunity and more lpsting than do
the other, methods.
“After the order wont into effect
some time was required to complete
the protection of the entire army, so
that it was not until file beginning of
1912 that every man had been inocu
lated his three doses.
-“The duration of immunity which is
produced so efficiently by this method
of vaccination must remain unsettled
ns yet. The British conclusions are
that it is effective for two and a half
years, but they do not use three doses
and hence do not obtain so high n
grade of immunity ns we. Our own
observations bnve shown no diminu
tion in the Immunity after four years.
Revnccination every four years against
both typhoid and smallpox has been
made-compulsory In our army.” ,
