TYPHOID MASTERED
IN AMERICAN ARMY
During First Year Of COmpuI-
sorry incubation.

New York.-Report of the remark
able results obtained by the use of
anti-typhoid vaccine in the United
States army was made by Major f. f.
Russell of the army medical corps in
an address before the Harvey society
at the Academy of Medicine.
In Jacksonville in 1898 there were
more than 1000 cases of typhoid fever
among 10000 troops, and the mortality
was very high, 81 per cent of the total
deaths being due to typhoid. In 1912,
the first year of compulsory anti
typhoid incubation in the army, out of
an army force of $4,000 men there were
only fifteen cases Of undOubted ty
phoid fever, with only two deaths.
DR.. Russell says this record is I'M
eQuaIed elsewhere in the world.
The basis upon which rest the origi-
nal studies which led up to the perfec-
ton of anti-typhoid incubation" says
DR.. Russell, was the observed produc-
ton Of practically complete and per
manent immunity as the result of an
attack of typhoid fever. The use Of
vaccine in the United States army was
begun in 1909 and met with such sue
I cess that in September of 1911 its adj
ministration in the army was made
compulsory for all men under forty
FIVE years of age. Ours is the only
army in which its use is compulsory.
In our army alone is the three dose in
oculation employed; hence we cannot
fairly compare our results with those
obtained by only one or two doses. 1t
may be said however. that the three
dose method confers a greater degree
of immunity and more lasting than do
the other methods.
after the order went into effect
some time was required to complete
the protection of the entire army, SO
that it was not until the beginning OF
1912 that every man had been inocu
lated his three doses.
"The duration of immunity which Is
produced so efficiently by this method
Of vaccination must remain unsettled
as yet. The British conclusions are
that it is effective for two and a hall
years but they do not use three dose!
and hence do not obtain so high ;
grade of immunity as we. Our owl
observations have shown no diminu
. ton in the immunity after four years
} Revaccination every four years agains
both TYPHOID and smallpox has beef
j made compulsory in our army"

when he pitched ball that made the
youngsters look foolish. but was IN
able to win single game. Matty's
great showing on that occasion has
made the fans watch his work this
spring with added interest. and his ad-
mirers in all parts of the country are
anxiously awaiting the opening of the
season to find out whether the old
snap is still there and whether the
greatest of them all" can still slip
the horsehide across the corners and
make even the mighty Wagner eat out
of his hand.
Matty realizes that the terrific strain
of the Red Sox games has Slapped vi
tality from the muscles of his arm and
is nursing them slowly into shape for
the season He is confident that the
Giants will win another pennant, and
if the Red Sox repeat in the American
league there will be a battle royal on
the books when Matty takes the mound
in an effort to regain his lost honor.
McGraw is whipping his young pitch
ers into shape early this season and
will probably rely on them to start the
season. reserving his old standby to
shoot into the breach when the wear

youngsters off their game. Figure il
