Typhoid Fever Is Conquered.

1t cost a big lot of money-probably
several million doliars-to mobilize the
American troops in Texas, but results
have already shown that 1t was we'll
spent. And for this one reason, If no
other, the movement has enabled med.
ical science to demonstrate that ty.
phoid fever, the deadliest foe Of arm.
les In the field, is preventive disease.
Altogether something like 10000
troops were sent to Texas, all of
whom were inoculated with typhoid
serum. AS additional safeguards the
most rigid hygienic and sanitary reg
ulations that the medical corps could
devise were strictly enforced. Result.
only one case of typhoid fever has &C.

this showing with what happened to
the troops-perhaps 10000 in all

forces were $4,000 cases OF typhoid.

Texas has achieved magnificent vic.

Indian islands. 1t produces a nut
which is brought to Anatolia and

round, black nut, on which all the
parts mans head may be seen,
mouth, nose. eyebrows. eyes. hair and
whiskers, before It vas formed from
Adams clay. A wonderful sight!
From the same clay God created also
the Wakwak, found in India, the fruit
Of which resembles mans head,
which shaken by the wind emits the
sound OF Wakwak. Finally was Great

to memorize prose.
