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.” , MILLINERY OPENING Accident or Sudden Sickness I jr; * A little foresight in this matter will save you much Ul* worry and anxiety and no doubt will relieve your • loved, emk '- I j ones of unnecessary PAIN AND SUFFERING. ®jgfr; ^ We will fill your orders with the Purest of Drugs and T our REXALL REMEDIES are gauranteed to satisfy.
