GREAT SAN ANTONIO CAMP
Remarkable Advancement in

iBy Morning sourna, Special Leased wn.I


Philadelphia. May s,--President
Taft was the guest Of honor AZ a
reception given here tonight by the
Medical club of Philadelphia. The
president was hailed as the chief ex-
ecutive, who had done most for the
advancement OF medical science, and
his two recommendation that ma
tional department Of health be Great
ed was dwelt upon approvingly by
DR., w. l.. Rodman, who presided
President Taft referred in his ad-
dress to the efficiency of the medi-
cal corps of the army and pointed
out that in the camp at San Antonio,
where 10000 troops are quartered,
only one case OF typhoid fever had
appeared.
The president said that much mon
ey had been expended and many
lives sacrificed in the Spanish Amer
lean war, but that they are as moth
ing compared with the benefits to
humanity, which have accrued from
the discoveries made during that
period.
The president praised the doctors
of the United States army and doc
tors In general for the efficiency
they have displayed in conquering
disease in Cuba, In the Philippines
and in the Panama canal zone He
found justification for the war with
Spain In stamping out of yellow fever
In Cuba that threatened death ito
our southern cities
He reviewed the work of the army
surgeons in combating yellow jack
in Cuba and Panama and lowering
the death rate from cholera bubonic
plague, beri-beri and other scourges
in the Philippines
In concluding the president spoke
of the lesson to be learned from the
mobilization of troops In Texas and
OF the fact that In the camp OF 49,
900 men in San Antonio only one case
OF typhoid fever has appeared in two
months.
OF the volunteer regiments mobil-
lied during the Spanish american
war, the president said
Ninety per cent becoria infected
with typhoid fever within eight
weeks from the date of mobilization.
To-day. two months after mobillza-
ton, with a modern health regulation
and by the use of vaccination against
typhoid, no cases of typhoid fever
have appeared in the entire force, ex-
cept that of one teamster who was
not vaccinated.
IT is hard to credit the accuracy
In such a record. But as ! have II
directly from the war office I can
assert ii, and give II as one more in
stance of the marvellous efficacy of
recent medical discoveries and prac-
tice."
