TO PREVENT TYPHOID FEVER.

Information has been received at tfv
war department that the British army
officials have determined to inoculate
all their troops with a recently discov-
cred vaccine as protective against ty-
phoid fever. Surgeon-General Stern
berg has just received letter on the
subject from DR.. H. S. Muir, deputy d.
rector-general of the British medical
service. and it is probable that the
medical service of the United States
army will adopt the same measures of
protection.
The question was referred today by
General Sternberg to one of the army
medical officers for investigation and
report. A private letter received by
| General Sternberg from Director Gen
eral Jamison of the British medical
service, says that the vaccine has been
used already among some of the Brit
ish troops with excellent results. Or
ders have already been issued for the
incubation of all troops in India and
also those going to south Africa. The
discovery is regarded as very impor-
tant, the principle of which is to inoc-
ulate the patient with measured guam
titles of dead but still poisonous micro
organisms.
1t is claimed that such incubation is
entirely free from all danger to the pa
tient. In the English army the men
have been vaccinated on the hip and
experience has shown that constitu-
tional symptoms consisting of fainting
and collapse begin to manifest them
selves generally in two or three hours
Director-General Jamison, in his letter,
calls General Sternberg's attention to
the NEGOTIATIONS by Professor Wright
at Bangalore, where he inoculated $50
soldiers of the west riding regiment
against enteric or typhoid fever. The
records showed that $500 men were
annually i'll there with typhoid fever,
and that the deaths reached 300. Of
200 attendants at the Maidstone Asy-
lum, 95 were inoculated and none con-
tracted the fever during the epidemic
there. Of those who refused to under
go the process 10 suffered from the d.
sease. At Khartoum, of officers, 6
were inoculated. The inoculated es-
capped the disease and of the other two
one was very i'll and the other died.
Professor Wright's report showed
that he had inoculated altogether 5000
troops and the medical sheets showed
that more than half of this number
never caught the fever, while the other
had it only mildly.
