rAOE S
TO END TYPHOID
IN THE ARMY
Compulsory Vaccination Order
Has Been issued,
SERUM A GREAT SUCCESS,
72,000 Soldiers to Bo Treated Inocu
lation Will Proteot Three Yeart.
Wonderful Results Obtained on
Mexican Border and Elsewhere.
Vaccination against typhoid fever
has been mado compulsory for every
officer and enlisted man in the United
States army under forty-flve years of
age. Tho only escalations allowed by
the war department's order In the mat
ter ore those who harve had the disease
or who have already been vaccinated.
This action was taken by the secre
tary of war on rocommendatlon of
Surgeon General Goorge II. Torney.
The army physician are enthusiastic
over the efficacy of the antl-typhold In
oculation. They point to tho splen
did health record af the maneuver di
vision at San Antonio, Tex., every
member of wJilch was vaccinated
against the disease, which Is regarded
as one of the greatest scourges of ar
mies. For several months every re
cruit received into tho army has been
inoculated with vims.
Thousands Must Submit.
Estimates compiled at the war de
partment show that up to the presont
time about 17,000 inoculations for ty
phoid have been made. Of tho troops
who were sent to tlio Mexican frontier
nearly 12,000 had boen inoculated. The
total' strength of tho army at present
is 76,000, so there will be plenty of
work for tho surgeons of tho army to
perform before each soldier has under
gone treatment
The "typhoid prophylactic," aa it is
called, has. boon prepared by Major
Russell of the medical corps, station
ed at the army medical school In
Washington, and it will be distributed
to the various forts and posts through
out the country. It is estimated that
In about a month's timo every officer
and man In the army will have been
inoculated.
Feel Little Inconvenience.
Very little, If any, inconvenience ns
a result of the Inoculation is felt by
the patient. lie docs not loso a'slnglo
days duty, nor is ho compelled to tako
to his bed. Ho is watched carefully
for a period of twenty days and la
then declared to bo Immune from the
dread disease. Tho "prophylactic" is
injected In tho loft .arm of tho patient
in practically tho same' manner as tho
smallpox vaccination process.
Tho war department la convinced of
tho efficacy of typhoid Inoculation in
wiping out this disease in the army.
During tho Spanish war experiments
were conducted along this line. Two
divisions of tho Seventh army corps,
under command of Major General Fltz
bugh Loo, were encamped at 'Jackson
ville. The sanitary conditions of the
camps were exactly alike, and w&tcr
for the troops wns obtained from ar
tesian wells. Ono division numbered
10.7B9 men and tho other 12.S01 men.
None of tho men or officers In the
small division hod been inoculated
with tho typhoid vaccine. As a result
there were 2,003 cases of typhoid In
this smaller division, resulting in 248
deaths. In tho larger division a ma
jority of tho men were inoculated, and,
while there was but one case of ty
phoid developed, there was not a sin
gle death.
Will Last Three Years.
One interesting feature of the treat
ment that has not yot been worked
out is the continuance of treatment
after tho first Injection has ceased to
be effoctlve. Surgeon General Torney
and others who have been conducting
experiments have decided that the se
rum renders a man immune for tho
period of three years at least They
do not know hjw much longer the an
titoxin retains its power as a safe
guard against typlwld. According to
present plans, the men who are vac
cinated now will receive another injec
tion at tho end of three years.
The serum s now being manu
factured at tho army medical school,
under the personal direction of Major
Russell, who is an expert on tho sub
ject of typhoid fever and a leader In
the movement to inoculate the army.
Tho present step has not been taken
without exhaustive Investigation both
on the part of Secretary of War Stim
son and the officers and physicians
who have boen engaged in the experi
ment work. On June 0 last tho secre
tary of war, deeply Impressed with
the effectiveness of tho new treatment,
called upon Major Russell to vaccinate
him. No ill results followed, and at
the end of twenty days tho secretary
wa's pronounced immune.
Famous Solentlsts Serve.
Though tho first experiments were
conducted daring the Spanish-American
war, results were not positively
accepted until tho famous "typhoid
board" was created under the adminis
tration of Surgeon General Rellly.
This board comprised the most famous
scientists and experts in the country.
Those who served were Dr. Flexncr,
the Now York expert on the disease;
Professor Musaor of the University of
Pennsylvania, Dr. Thayer of Johns
Hopkins university, Dr. Alexander
Lambert of New York and Professor
Vaughn of the University of Michigan.
