The second course is the present
method of trying to prevent all
cases, rather than any particular
case, Of measles.
To prevent without immunizing
simply means, to postpone an cpl

immunity. If measles were
checked for rs years and they
reappeared in city composed

would produce more disruption

outbreak of 1918. The ultimate
effects Of efforts at prevention
would probably be to produce
more deaths in a short time than
would otherwise have been spread
over the Is years.
This method should be aban-

immunizing agent as certain as
vaccination for smallpox, diph-
