persons treated with the vaccine de-
velOped by DIR. Ellis Bonime In tnat
city, only three developed influenza
or pneumonia, while of 217 Y. NJ. g.
A. workers who were not vaccinated,
45 contracted influenza or pneumonia.
Doctor Cecil in report on the
results at Camp Upton, said:
"The first figures showed only II
cases Of pneumonia of all types &C.
curing among 1850 men. who re-
ceived vaccine; whereas, among I'M
vaccinated troops during the same Pc
riod there was total Of 173 cases of
pneumonia of all types. For the ten
weeks which the men were under OBJ
servation, the pneumonia Death rate
for vaccinated troops was only .93 per
thousand; for the unvaccinated it was
1913.
Altogether 1890 men, or about
so per cent of the entire strength of
Camp Wheeler, were vaccinated
against pneumonia with pneumococcus
lipovaccine. Both the local and
general reactions produced by the
vaccine were mild. Only per cent
of those who received the vaccine were
sufficiently affected to receive hos
pital care. None of these were
seriously i'll and majority of them
returned to duty in two or three days
after admission"
The limitations of the vaccine and
some of the difficulties in bringing it
into general use were stated as fol-.
lows:
zone of the chief difficulties which
we encountered in fighting against
pneumonia is the variety of. types of
pneumonia which are encountered.
Even if streptococcus, influenza and
other rare forms are eliminated for
the reason that they are not often
seen in civil life, the pneumococcus
itself occurs in such a variety of
types that it is difficult to prepare a
vaccine capable of protecting against
all of them. If Type 4 pneumococcus
were a fixed type similar to Types
l, 2 and 8, this difficulty could be
obviated. But Type pneumococcus
is simply a name given to a large
group of pneumococci, which appear
to be entirely independent of each
other and which give no mutual pro-
lection.
pneumonia rarely occurs as an cpl.
demic scourge like smallpox, so there
would be difficulty in having vaccina
ton against pneumonia. People do
not fear the disease and are, there
fore, unwilling to submit TO the in
of being yaccinated I'm
less vaccination against pneumonia is
compulsory, it will be very
difficult to get large number of can
didates in civilian communities"

But his wife had beaten him
to it. She had been in and

what he had learned about the
advantages of building now,
and the difficulties of building
after prices begin to 60 down,
drove to town and happened to
talk with an editor who had
been wanting to build a garage.
The editors wife suggested
to him three years ago that
they erect a good garage, and
after getting an estimate Of the
cost, he swelled up with inn
portance and told his wife that
the interest on the investment
would be one and q half times
as much as it would cost to
keep the car in Bills garage

the whole year, SO he paid his
money. to Bills. Of. course
there was some trouble getting
his car out when the garage
was full, but he put up with it /,

for carpenter to build it.
