IMPROVEMENT SHOWN
IN HEALTH OF ARMY
Fewer Discharges for DisabiI-
ity-Anti- Typhoid Treat
ment Is Discussed.

The effectiveness OF the continued eff
forts of the army medical department tc
reduce the mortality rate of the army
as well as lessen the amount of sick
ness, is seen in the annual report OF
Brig. Gen. George II. Torney, surgeon
general of the army, for the fiscal year
ending June. 80, 1911.
Since the Spanish-American war. when
there was n striking increase in sick
ness. attributed to exposures in tropical
climates, consequent upon our occupa-
ton of new territory, there has been a
progressive improvement, which is as
cribed chiefly To the sanitary control
of infectious fevers.
Discharges from the army for disability.
according to the report, showed a marked
Improvement over the previous year. For
the year they numbered lbs per LOO,
as compared with 1887 for the year previ-
Gus. The belief is expressed in the report
that this condition is due chiefly 10 an
order requiring soldiers certified AS in
capacitated for military service to be
examined by n board of medical officers
before discharge.
The effectiveness of the prophylactiC
treatment as Il preventive OF typhoid Is
discussed at great length in the report.
which points out one case of severe re-
action. and calls attention to the fact
that this particular case indicates that
the injunction against the vaccination of
any but healthy persons should be con-
stantly borne in mind.
