enlisted from civilian ranks and be-
cause the authorities of all nations
have persisted, and for that matter,
still do persist, in having sanitation
around great military camps practi-
cally no better than those in use in
the middle ages.
AS a result. while during ordinary
periods the rate of typhoid is less in
the army than in civil life, the forma-
ton of great military camps preceding
or following a declaration of war is
almost certain to result in a tremend-
Gus increase of typhoid. In fact, in our
Spanish American conflict the death
from typhoid alone far exceeded by
many hundred per cent. the loss from
wounds.
Fewer Cases Than Deaths.
The new anti-typhoid serum is far
better than any possible cure for ty
phoid could be, for it absolutely pre-
vents the disease, and in modern med
icine even more than in other science
prevention is recognized as far supe
rior in efficiency than cure.
From a strictly. accurate scientific
viewpoint the anti-t typhoid serum is
neither an antitoxin nor vaccine. 1t
is really a fertilization of the blood
witt y nles that enable that
fitaIu ~ A4l. "a AAy typhoid germs that
may from time to time find lodg-
ment in the system. In other words,
it is a specific when taken in advance
of the entry of the disease germs. and
in this characteristic, it exactly coin
cides with the so-called anti toxin for
bubonic plague.
The making of the serum is inter-
csting. The laboratory worker first
starts with a collection of the very ty
phoid germs he desires to exterminate
and cultivates them in a special broth
which is extremely nourishing to this
bacillus, so that the germs flourish
amazingly and speedily noun into
the millions, whole colonies of them
forming in the broth.
This is done because the elements
needed to combat the germs also form
in proportionate strength. Then the
germs are killed by heat and the ele-
ments which are opposed to the ty-
phoid germs are preserved in the Gull
ture by the addition of an iantiseptic,
which prevents any decay or fermen-
tation or other chemical change. In
this way, also, any communicating
germs are prevented from obtaining
access to the broth, which otherwise
would form a most attractive home
for these vagabond and dangerous
members of the bacillus family.
Put Up in Tubes.
Such preparation is quite harm
less. 1t is Theoretically sealed in tube,
in which a glass and air-tight plunger
has been inserted. When ready for use
the slender glass end is snapped off
and a sharp steel needle is attached
by a rubber tip. When the plunger IS
firmly pressed, the typhoid antitoxin
IS forced under the skin and small
portion of muscular tissue, after
which it is slowly absorbed into the
circulation.
1t is this easily understood method
by which Uncle Sans doctors under
take to altogether prevent any recur-
renee of the horrible typhoid slaugh-
terings of past military campaigns. So
