Automobiles are equipped with
headlights which give their drivers q

materially IL the horse-drawn vehicle

CHOLERA AND THE WAR.

Epidemics Of cholera are reported to.
be threatening the various armies. es-
pcially those engaged on the Russo
Austrian frontier. But it will be re-
membered that even in the normal state
Of affairs cases of Asiatic cholera in
this neighborhood are not unusual.
Cholera is a disease whose spread
is dependent largely on infected
drinking water and carriers APP
parently healthy. So far as is know
infection occurs only when the germ
is swallowed. 1t seems probable that
in addition to water as a source Of
infection, food when exposed may be-
come contaminated through the agency
of flies. Unless there are efficient san
itary precautions water-supplies are
likely to become infected. Therefore in
the passage of large bodies Of troops.
when sanitation cannot be perfect, an
outbreak Of this disease may be ex-
pected. The cholera organism is es-
pecialIy sensitive to drying and there
seems to be doubt whether or not
it Is able to multiply outside Of the
body in impure water. In the recent
Balkan war cholera was reported in
many places and many cases occurred.
but the disease never became epidemic.
With the assistance Of the highly eff
ficient sanitary services of modern
armies, widespread epidemics of such
diseases may be prevented. It has
been suggested that the coming OF win
ter may aid in preventing the spread
of cholera. However, The Journal of
the American Medical Association
thinks that the increased moisture and
seepage of surface water carrying con-
terminating material as well as the
closer contact Of human beings engen-
dered by the winter season make in
lection still more likely. AS an aid
to protection, active immunization of
men with the Haffkine vaccine may be
practiced. Possibly conditions in this
war will be the means OF determining
still more exactly the status Of this
protective measure.
