TYPHOID DRIVEN OUT.
The Disease Has Been Eradicafed
From the Army.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Remarkable
progress in military sanitation and i'm
provement in the health Of the army
is recorded in the annual report Of
Surgeon General George H. Torney.
The surgeon general says it seems
more than marvellous that among the
number Of men in the camps at Texas
City and Galveston and along the
Mexican border constantly exposed to
infection, not a single case of typhoid
has occurred. That is attributed en-
tirely to the compulsory immunization
of the army by the typhoid prophy-
Tactic.
Surgeon General Torney says that
while no measure has yet been found
to eradicate tuberculosis from the
army as the result of improvement in
sanitation and care in enlistments
that disease Is steadily diminishing.
An interesting feature Of the report
is the conclusion of the board ON
tropical diseases, that white men can
not advantageously remain many
years in the tropics. Tropical sun
light is harmful by virtue of its heat
rays and monkeys and rabbits are
killed by exposure to the sun for an
