Great Value of Vaccines in Combating
Influenza Is Brought Out in Reports

Gently at Fort Myer. DR.. g. H. Sher-
>uan Of Detroit. who has pioneered In
this field for twenty years, calls the
attention OF the medical profession
and OF the public to his experiences
along similar lines.
From the attitude assumed by the
medical profession at the time Of the
1nfiuenza epidemic during the war"
says Dr.. Sherman. at is apparent that
10 definite policy in regard to efficient
treatment had been generally recog-
nized. II the favorable results, which
were obtained from the use Of vac
cine. both prophylactically and the
rapeutically had been presented sta
tistically on q larger scale, a great
service would have been rendered to
the medical profession and the public
while the primary etioIogic factor

bacterial findings In post mortems
and cultures taken from. the sick
showed that pneumococci, strepto-
cocci. influenza .bacilli and other or
diseases-pneumonia empyema, etc
were the real terminal injecting Or
ganisms, which were responsible for
the fatal terminations. From our ex.
periences with the use of bacterial
vaccines In the treatment Of pneumo-
mia, bronc3lo-pneum bronchitis
and colds covering a period Of over
ten years. In which these same or
ganisms were found. we felt when
this epidemic came upon us that a
combined vaccine containing the
principal prevailing organisms would
be as efficient In the treatment and
prevention Of these infections as we
had experienced on previous occasions
and accordingly recommended this
method. Our early experiences dur

but could find no evidence that bet
ter results were being obtained from
vaccines containing these organisms.
The results were SO pronounced
that no one/can question the eftici-
ency Of this treatment when applied
early after giving 1t fair trial. but
the efficiency Of a remedy can only
be made convincing to those who
have not used 1t by presenting large
series OF cases treated by the pro-
posed method. This was undertaken
by mailing a large number of ques-
tionnaires with the Bacterial Therap-
ist.
The QUESTIONABLE was arranged to
provide reports: (a) on prophylactic
immunization against influenza and
vaccines in influenza: (c) the thera-
peutic use Of vaccines in pneumonia
and (d) the therapeutic use OF vac
cines in influenza In pregnancy,
I'VE have the reports from thirty
lations In 41.260 cases receiving from
one to four inoculations. OF these
963 contracted influenza, 15 developed
pneumonia and 20 died, making a
mortality rate Of 0.67 per one thous-
ana pTOpnyiaCtlCally lnOCUlateo. Our
reports show a decided advantage for
prophylactic immunization In cpl
demic influenza, the death rate being
0.57 per 1000. as compared with a
mortality rate ranging anywhere
from 8 to % per 1000 inhabitants in
various parts OF the country among
those not immunized. Rosenow re-
ports the results from prophylactic
immunization with his vaccine dur
Ing the recent influenza epidemic in
which he shows that the mortality
rate among the 26,848 receiving one
incubation was 3 per loco; among
the 3,348 receiving two inoculations.
2.62 per 1000: among the 93.476 re-
ceiving three inoculations. 1.43 per
ceiving no prophylactic inoculations,
where the mortality was s.55 per
1000.
ConvincfnI Evidence.
"a most convincing evidence of the
|prophylactic value Of vaccines in in
fiuenza Is presented by Dr.. W. H.
Wood of Cleveland. Ohio. We had
for several years systematically i'm
munized the employees of the COM
pany to protect them against respira-
tory infections, colds, pneumonia,
etc. The results from these inocula-
tions were SO satisfactory that when
pearance In this country he at once
began to immunize the 1000 employees
and q large portion Of the members
OF their families. making q total of
over 5000 persons immunized. OF
these he says that less than per cent
