laboratory at Hamilton, Mont.
Refrigeration Method Devised.
While observing ticks, DR.. Spen-
Ger discovered that the virus caus-
ing Rocky Mountain spotted fever
hibernated with the ticks during
the winter months. After allowing
the ticks to feed on an infected
animal, they were placed in re-
frigerators to hibernate, and were
later taken out and ground up to
form the vaccine.
Since no commercial firm would
attempt the expensive process of
manufacturing the vaccine from
forced hibernated ticks, the Public
Health Service retained a monopoly
on the manufacture of the vaccine
which is distributed free to infected
persons.
In addition to his work with spot
ted fever, Dr. Spencer ALSO has
been prominent in the control of
bubonic plague.

Dr.. Spencer Is Named Director
Of National Cancer Institute
Discovered Vaccine
For Rocky Mountain
Spotted Fever

DR.. Rsocoe Roy Spencer of 6 West
drive, Bethesda, widely acclaimed
for his discovery of a vaccine to
combat Rocky Mountain spotted
fever, will become director of the
National Cancer Institute on Au-
gust 81, it was learned yesterday.
DR.. Spencer. at present assistant
head of the institute, will replace
DR.. Carl Voegtlin, retiring medical
director of the National Institute
of Health, which has under it the
direction of the Cancer Institute.
A native Of Richmond. Va, DR..
Spencer was awarded an honorary
degree of doctor of science in
March by the University of Rich
mond, from which he was graduated
in 1900, and in 1880 was awarded
a gold medal by the American
Medical Association for his spotted
fever vaccine. He also holds a de-
gree from Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity, Baltimore.
Life-Saving Vaccine.
AS creator of the spotted fever
vaccine, Dr.. Spencer has been
credited with saving hundreds of
lives every year Of persons who have
been infected by tick carriers of the
disease.
In working out the vaccine, DIR.
Spencer decided that as ticks car
ried the malady, they also should
be able to inoculate against it. He
tried ground-up ticks on guinea
pigs, and when they lived through
the inoculations, he then tried the
"tick juice" on himself
In 1924 DR.. Spencer was the only
person who had been inoculated
with the ground-up ticks. In 1925
"a persons volunteered to receive
the inoculations and by 1926 the
number had grown to 600, exhaust
ing all the vaccine that could be
