MEDICAL SCHOOL
OF SERVICE SAVES
Army Institution at Walter

for $685. 06.

During the past Is years the Army
Medical School in the Walter Reed
General Hospital reservation has saved
the Government $9.o55, 036 by the man.
ufacture of typhoid vaccine, tubercuIin
and other veterinary products and by
making clinico pathological examina-
tons for the Army. according to War
Department bulletin.
This manufacture of serlIms and vac
cines in the laboratory of that school
for the use of the Army personnel had
its origin in the epidemic of typhoid
fever which played such havoc in our
military camps during the Spanish War
of 1898. From those experiences came
the searching investigations which re-
suited in the recommendations Of the
Reed Vaughan Board on typhoid fever
and the report of the Lodge Com
mission.
In the Army intense activity and in
terest in the control and elimination of
typhoid fever continued. Its prevention
by the use Of vaccines prepared from
killed cultures of typhoid bacilli at
tracted the attention of medical officers
of our Army and OF foreign armies. In
this country Col Frederick F. Russell,
then o member Of the United States
Army Medical Corps and now q director
of the Rockefeller Foundation, worked
effectively at the problem. BY 1909
such progress had been made that this
anti-typhotd vaccine was administered
TO $50 volunteers from the Army in tbs
year and to 1903 in the following year.
Encouraged by the results obtained and
gratifled with the outcome of its adj
ministration to division modified in
Texas in the Spring of 1911, the War
Department in the latter part of that
year made anti-typhoid vaccination
compulsory in the Regular ARMY. And
as such 1t has remained up to the pres
emit, including the period of our particle
patton in the World War, when about
4,00o,0 900 persons in the military service
received the anti-typhoid vaccine. It
Is interesting to note that the death
rate from typhoid fever in the military
forces of the United States was about
140 times as high in 1S9s-99 as In
1Sf7-1S.
Since 1909 the Army Medical School
has been the center for research in
medical science and military medicine
and sanitation for the Medical Depart
ment of the Army. Among the contri-
buttons made by Officers on duty at the
school to these subjects may be mem
toned the present universal method of
applying chlorine IN the publication of
public water supplies. the evolution of
the Lyster bag ia the ptfificstion IF
water In the field, the researches Lead.
ing to the adoption of the present
method Of vaccinating against typhoid
fever in the Army, and the present
methods Of venereal prophylaxiS. These
contributors, while but q few of those
enlanating from the Army Medical
School, have saved thousands of lives
In the service and many hundreds of
thousands Of dollars.
