BULLETIN OF STATE
HEAL TIL DEPARTMENT
TELLS Of SMALLPOX

The increase in the number of
cases of smallpox in the United
States and the occurrence of a more
severe type of the disease, that has
been common since the Spanish
American war is a matter that
should give concern to every citi-
zen," DIR. A. M. Tuthill. state super
intendent of public health, declares
in an article on smallpox which
appears in the quarterly bulletin of
the state board of health The bull
letin is now ready for distribution
and may be had upon application to
the office of the state board of health
in the capitol building.
"One western city, DIR. Tuthill
continues in the article, for the pc
riod, December II. 1921 to February
IS, 1922, reports 104 cases of small
pox with 4S deaths, a mortality of
46 per cent plus. A mid western
city reports for the same period 100
cases and so deaths. In Arizona we
have records of 155 cases since Jan.
i, 1922, with more than 25 deaths.
The answer is vaccination. OF 1925
cases of smallpox occurring in Cali
fornia in 1920, 80 per cent had not
been vaccinated and per cent had
been vaccinated more than five years
previously"
Discussing vacations and typhoid
fever, DR.. Tuthill writes as follows:
AS vacation time approaches and we
begin TO wander about the country
largely in this day and gerenation by
automobiles, and of necessity drink
any and all kinds of water and eat
any food we can get the danger of
acquiring typhoid is greatly in
creased We know that by taking
three injections of typhoid vaccine
we can reduce the chance of illness
from this source to almost nothing.
The mortality from typhoid varies
from to 20 per cent in different
epidemics. The mortality from ty-
phoid vaccine, prophylaxic is zero.
It's up to you.
The bulletin also contains articles
on summer camps first aid helps for
campers, and safe water for campers.
