ANTI-TYPHOID VACCINATION.
Fine Results Shown in the Navy as
Well as the Army.
rom the Army and Navy Journal.

rom thc Army and Navy Journal.
Surgeon General Charles L. Stokes OF
the navy is very enthusiastic over the
results OF the years test of the anti
typhoid vaccination in the navy. In
1871 there were 322 cases OF typhoid
fever i'll the navy. with fifteen deaths
These zoo plus cases meant long
period Of invalidism and much atten-
ton being a serious drain on the medi-
cal department and materially affecting
military efficiency. About a year ago the
incubation was begun, and up to No
venber I, 1872. there had been but one
mild case of typhoid fever This marked
change DR.. Stokes does not hesitate to
ascribe 10 the remedy and to keeping up
the work of sanitation. Dr. Stokes cites
the case of the United States steamship
Delaware, which was sent up from
Charleston. S. c., to Norfolk the other
day with case OF typhoid fever. The
SICK man was the surgeon of the ship,
who had had typhoid in childhood and
had not taken, as he was not required
to take. the typhoid prophylactic. 1t was
case or the exception proving the rule
as to the efficacy of the vaccination. The
shortage of officers had left the Della
ware at that time with only one medical
officer. SO that if IL had been cruising
alone when he was taken i'll there would
have been no one on board to care for
the sick. The protection afforded by the
vaccination lasts. as proved by laboratory
tests. two and onc-half Years, but from
the results attained in the United States
services the surgeon general is of the
opinion that il will last five or six years.
The danger is practically nothing. Occa-
sonaily there is a little reaction and dis
comfort.

The Literacy Test.

From the New York Journal Of Commerce.
There is general complaint the coun-
try over of a lack of common labor on
farms and in workshops. on railroads
and public works requiring excavation
and the rough work of construction, as
we'll as in many manufacturing establish
ments. Such productive work is of value
to the country, and the policy Of exclud-
ing alien laborers unless they can read
is excessively foolish. There would be
some sense in requiring ability TO read as
a qualification for naturalization. but
there is none whatever for requiring il
as a condition of admission 10 the coun-
try as settlers and residents to help build
up the industrial population.
Such q test would be the reversal of
policy which has done much to build up
