Ey the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July A G. c. C.
camp in Atchison County, Mo, has
rendered science a possible weapon
long-sorght against disease: A vaccine
for prevention on meningitis.
Boys In the camp were human "test
tubes" for the first attempt ever made
at immunization against the disease
during an epidemic.
The experiment began in 1885 has
been declared a success by DR.. Dwight
M Kuhns of Fort Leavenworth, Kans..
captain of the Medical orps in the 7th
Corps Area Research Board Of the
United States Army.
All of 1896 vaccinated persons-some
in the Missouri camp, some in another
C. C. c. camp at Burlington, Kans.,
and some school children-eScaped
the disease although other cases de-
veloped around them, Capt. Kuhns
reported in the journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association.
Similar success was obtained, he
declared, in three other epidemics.
Cautioning against too enthusiastic
reception for the vaccine with the
warning is only a preliminary
report and to prove the value
p" of the immuniZing agent it
should be used in large number OF
beginning epidetnics."
