susceptible there is no disease so
readily communicable.
The cause of either Of the diseases
is unknown, and as yet no antidote
has been found Cor measles.
Bobritschewsky first proposed the
use of steptoccus vaccines as pra-
phylaxis against scarlet fever. The
method has been extensively tried in
Russia with favorable results, so far
as one may Judge from published re-
ports.
In villages without vaccination
twenty per cent contracted scarlet fe-
yer and eleven per cent died, In
villages with vaccination four per
cent contracted scarlet fever and none
died. 1t, therefore, seems that in the
streptoCcus vaccines we have a useful
means to control epidemics of scarlet
fever.
The danger Of complications fol-
towing measles is very great, and
every effort should be taken to
guard against it's contagion. The
most dangerous complication, howev-
er. is broncho-pneumonia, for which
the death rate has been as high as
sixty-five per cent, and defective
hearing. and defective eyesight quite
often follows rs Jesuit of measles.
The control of measles has usually
