New Anti-Typhus
Vaccine Found
In Palestine

A group of Jewish scientists.
working at the Hebrew University
in Jerusalem, has perfected a new
technique for fighting typhus and
has placed it at the disposal OF
the British Government. Among
the doctors who worked on this
new and very important medical
discovery is number of German
Jewish refugees, who had estab-
lished regulations as researchers
before Hitler Ousted them from
the Third Reich.
The new technique against ty-
phus consists of a special process
whereby eggs are inoculated with
the virus and are used as vac
cine. In London circles it is
pointed out that this discovery
bears considerable military i'm
portance. Epidemics have often
in the past led to the demoraliza-
ton of armies as well as of the
civilian population. Any method
for the prevention of epidemics is
therefore a contribution of the ut
