DISEASE ANp RuLLErs IN VA.
Proportion Of Deaths From These Causes
In Recent Campaigns

"1t Is commonplace Of history, cor
uboutod and confirmed 10y tho oN-
pcrienccs of almost every campaign, alike
In civilized and In uncivilzed countries,
no less in modern than IN ancient times,
that disease is more potent element of
warfare than the weapons of the enemy"
So writes Dr. Thomas f. Dcwar in an
admirable essay.
II Is % surprising circumstance that IN
spite of the general recognition accorded
by history 20 the influence of epidemic
disease In swaying the fortunes of a cam-
paien. IN spite of the immense power for
the mitigation of such diseases which the
advance of bactcnology and epidemiology
has put within our reach so little serious
effort has been extended against the pesti-
lences particularly typhoid fever and
dysenicryl which have always stalkcd in
the wake of armies IN the field. How
different has been our success IN prevent
ing IN practice diseases which are pre-
omincntly prcventahle in theory, is shown
by the recent record of the South African
war This campaign extended over a
period of 33 months Precise figures are
not yet available, but Dr. DeWar con-
sidors that Il may he said with "a close
approximation 20 accuracy that the death
rate from disease was go per 1000 of the
! total number of troops engaged, while the
death rate from wounds was p per 900.
| Excluding cases OF Immediately fatal
wounds il appears that the cases admitted
To hospital for sickness outnmberod
those admitted for wounds by no less
a margin than 20 20 ].
