Benefits of Anti
Typhoid Vaccination
The State Hoard of Health labora
tory during the winter and early
spring prepared a large quantity of
anti-typhoid vaccine, which is now
being rapidly consumed by the people
throughout the state. This is, ot
course, very encouraging to the tulvi
cates of public health since they see
ln it a great probability of decreasing
the prevalence of this disease durm,..
1920. That vaccination has been a
most important factor in affording a
great measure of protection to
dreds of communities in the state ia
j beyond question. In many instances
where a great number of people
came sick from this disease
!ly every year, and where there were
a considerable number of deaths
sultiug therefrom we are Informed by
the citizens that they now have only
a small number of cases.
t The administration of this
atlon has produced within these
sons considerable resistance against
the disease. The protective ojpfdefen
I sive forces of the body have been
j stimulated to the point of mobiliza
I tion, ready to pour a "broad side" in
I to the ranks of the enemy (genus of
j typhoid), the moment they cross the
! thresli-hold of the human body.
Very striking instances of the good
effect of anti-typhoid vaccine are
corded in the reports of the Surgeon
General of the army from year
year since its use was first introduced
Into the army by Dr. Bussell in 1903.
r*™c ss
1911, since which time typhoid iieca
almost unknown except among a lew
of the A. E. F. in France. The most
serious menace from this disease )C
curreu during the closing days of the
war, when the allied forces were op¬
erating on ground which only a few
moments before was "No Man’s’ Laud
and only a few hours previously was
occupied by the German forces, who,
as they retreated put forth every ef¬
fort to pollute with human excreta,
everything possible, especially the wa¬
ter supplies. Out of the three million
men in the army camps located
throughout the United States during
1918 only two hundred and forty cases
occurcd, with forty live deaths, The
total number of cases developing dur¬
ing the entire war was 1083 with 1 r >8
deaths. From the report of the Sur¬
geon General of the Army we read as
follows: “That the artificial immun¬
ity with a greater number of men did
not break down is, indeed a cause of
congratulation and an evidence of
high protective immunity conferred
by the typhoid vaccination.”
Georgia with approximately 3,000.
000 population, lost 1122 lives out of
11,220 people who had the disease dur¬
ing 1919. This cost these people and
their families $3,300,000 which was al¬
most. as much as the state spent on
its 840,000 school children the sam.
year. Practically all of these could
have been avoided by the administra
tion of anti-typhrftd vaccine.
The typhoid Vaccine is sent out.
free of charge, on request, to the peo¬
ple of the state by the State Board
of Health Laboratory.

Venereal Disease
and Marriage
We find In the annual report of Dr
Bowdoln, Director, Venereal Disease
Control .n Georgia, that about 50 per
cent of Ihe venereal diseases reported
were found In the 20 to 30 year age
period. We also find, based on tta*
Government census report of 1910 for
o->or.u,'! a ,’ , that it is a conservative es
timate 0 8ay that fully 60 per cent
of the n)arr t age8 ar e contracted by
parties within this same age period,
20 to 30 years.
Therefore, It seems that at this
| time of all times of one’s life every
poKStible 8tPp should be taken, both
edricaUcnml and legislative, to offer
p ,. otoct j on t0 ,he innocent who would
| othenwlBe become victims of these
much and deserve to be, dreaded dls
! eases.
, The school offers the surest way of
j combating successfully the venereal
disease situation. Education will form
a permanent barrier agamst these
enemies of mankind. The boy and
the girl, the young man and the young
woman should be given full knowl
edge of the character of, and the de
structive power of these diseases,
singing incessantly at the very foun
«iatlon stone of the human race. A
i course In the high school and college
j tuti required would for a be degree incentive from that to Inst!- the
n an
i graduates for enlistment in the cam
for the eradication of venereal

f re the General Assembly of Georgia
now awaiting its final read ; ng. Til is
bill provides that the male before he
will be aide to secure the marriage li
cense must present a certificate show¬
ing that he is free of venereal dis¬
ease. This is important legislation in
that it Insures protection to the life
of the citizens and the happiness of
their homes and the health of their
progeny.
The Slate owes It to its citizens to
see that their health and liveB are pro¬
tected from venereal disease just as
it guarantees their protection from
enemies of other kinds. yThe citizens
have a right to demand that their
State pass legislation tha; would in¬
sure their health, for without such
legislation a large number of the In¬
nocent will continue to become vic¬
tims of these horrible diseaees.
through the 'carelessness and Ignor¬
ance of those by whom they are trans¬
mitted. The bill awaiting action is ,
a long step In the right direction. j
Every young woman who before
marriage does not require her lover to
present a health certificate that he la
free of venereal Infection is taking a
big risl^ in having her dreams of a
happy married life considerably upset.
In many, many instances It Is found
in reality to be one of untold sutier¬
ing and ill health, cft.cn necessitating
the s'.irge n and nurse, and one In
which the offspring is not without
blemish, because of venereal Infection

riage.
