10000 persons immunized in Mem
phis, Tenn, during the recent typhoid
epidemic, SIT OF these were children
to 5 years OF age. The Department
of Health report says I've be
lieve from our experience that it
saved cur city from a most serious
epidemic Of typhoid fever,
2,044 persons immunized in Bait
nero during 1911-l2. Not a single case
of typhoid fever occurred among these
persons. In 900 hospital nurses and
attendants immunized there were no
cases Of typhoid. Among 50 nurses
and attendants not immunized th9re
were seven cases.
1881 nurses and hospital attend
ants in MASSACHUSETTS, hospitals were
immunized. Only two cases Of ty-
phoid fever developed, Without i'm.
nunization Typhoid incidence was
line times greater.

been made in the United States Navy

phoid vaccination. All should be i'm
who come in contact with
typhoid patients, and all who reside
Or travel in typhoid infected districts
Or in districts where the water sup
ply is questionable.

or that matter). Everyone knows
IF cases contracted While travelling
Or away on vacation. But this dread
I'd disease need lie no longer feared,
rs army medical experience has dem
the almost miraculous
Of vaccination against il
We urge vaccination from the stand
point Of being among those who have
Of something new and
worth while, knowledge that no false
othics should deter us from passing
IN to those who have only conccp-
ion Of their danger and the almost
measure of protection that
IAN be taken against that danger.
Your physician is the one TO 90 to
or further information on the sub
ect and whether or not he uses
1ur vaccine is a matter Of less nc
nent to us than the hope chat we
nay be instrumental in leading many
o seek tire protection of which
hey have hitherto had little know
edge" I
Physicians, are you doing your
luty in the matter of educating
our townspeople as to their danger
rom typhoid aud the availability of
absolutely certain protection against
