Typhoid Is Greatest Rival OF War

don. In 1900 Wright vaccinated 100000
British soldiers. These men were sent to
all the British possessions, which means
all over the world. The results in India
were quite encouraging but in South Africa
they were not so good. II was discovered
later. however, that the lack of success
was caused by the use of too much heat
in killing the bacteria, too small doses and
too few injections of the fluid.
The best results from vaccination have
been had in the United States. In 1911,
1880 soldiers We're assembled on the Mex
lean border, near San Antonio. Tex. All of
them had been vaccinated against typhoid.
In four months, although there were forty
nine cases of typhoid with nineteen deaths.
in San Antonio, there were only two cases
in the whole army, and no deaths. There
were only eleven deaths from all diseases.
To get the full significance of those fig
Ures. recall the part typhoid played in the
Spanish-American war. where none of the
soldiers were vaccinated.

about the time your finger hurt worst have
you seen your mother calmly life the vessel

million at the last Inside these 5ead bac-
terra is a poison known as endotoxin. The
tissue cells in the body secrete substance
that breaks up these bacteria and liberates
the poison. This poison, when liberated,
stimulates the body cells to form immune
substances which will protect one from liv
ing typhoid germs. That is the theory OF
the whole thing. 1t seems so simple that
one wonders why it wasn't thought OF
sooner.
Typhoid Germ Discovered i'm 1>>0.
In the first place. the typhoid germ was
not discovered until 1880. Several bacteri
Oloeists worked out theories OF inoculation
but they were not successful. The sue
cessful theory was formulated by Sir Aim

seven and persons above forty rarely take
the disease. Those who have had the dis
ease rarely contract it again.
Germs Are Scattered Easily.

bacilli or germs all the rest of their lives.

not counting the time of the physicians or
nurses who wait upon those who are af
ficted. From this one can get an idea as
to the meaning of this discovery.
From these figures it would not seem un-
just to have national law making vaccina
ton compulsory. The worst feature OF the
disease is that it takes those in the prime
of life sparing not even the most robust.
Many an athlete has met his fate in his
early twenties from this disease. Typhoid

Sears as Marks Of Honor.
The scars which the young men get in
these duels are the greatest marks of honor
which they take away from college. In
fact, they are so highly esteemed all over
Germany that men find it profitable to
make scars. Since the duels take place
rather quietly. no one is the wiser as to
whether the scars were made by profess

were 1880 deaths. This was SO per cent of
the mortality of the whole war. In some
of the volunteer regiments 80 per cent of
the men became afflicted with the disease
in eight weeks.
Vaccination against typhoid was not
made compulsory in the navy until 1912.
In 1911 there were 222 cases with fifteen
deaths. The yearly average had been 200
cases with fifteen deaths. After vaccination
had been made compulsory, in 1912. there
were only two cases, one of which was COM
plicated with pneumonia and proved fatal.
Brings No Harmful Results.
Vaccination against typhoid does not
cause sore arms and make one sick as does
vaccination against smallpox. Less than
10 per cent of those who are vaccinated
feel any reaction. This reaction is nothing
more than a slight fever and soreness at
the place of injection or in the armpit.
Out of 263.S42 vaccinations there have been
no harmful results. This makes the treat
ment as safe as any treatment known in
the medical profession

 Cardui also cured my daughter of womanly troubles. I keep Cardui in the house, all the time. It is a great blessing to all women who need it.
 Thousands of ladies have written like Mrs. Anderson, telling of the wonders worked by Cardui in the re- lief of various forms of weakness and distress, after other remedies had failed to help.
 Isn't it likely that you will be help ed by Cardui, this remedy which has been in constant successful use for more than half century? It's record of years of success, in relieving trou- bles such as your own, is proof that it will help you, too.

The primary object of the unique af- fair, which attracted large crowds and much attention, was for the pur- pose of securing funds toward a needed charity planned by the Social Service Club, of which Misses Wilkins and Nunn are members.
 The Inn was located in the first meg zanine parlor which was tastefully decorated, and during the day tea and sandwiches, with a salad added to the course, if desired, were served. The young ladies will keep open house at the inn today.
