Lee, of the Medical Re- serve Corps, who was one of the phy- Kinley when the president was shot at Buffalo, has been. seriously. ill with typhoid fever. He is attached to. the base hospital. Nes Major Lee came to Porto Rico about {ares months ago, with the first’ group of reserve officers assigned to the hos- pital. Prior to entering: the reserve corps he had bees for’ years a sur- geon in NewYork city.’ The fact that he is the only one of the officers coming from the north. who’ has. been attacked by, typhoid is regarded as in- teresting from a medical viewpoint for the reason that he was: the only one of these officers who did not take the typhoid vaccination.» “It has been 8 popular theory among fnedical.men {that for persons over 45 or 50 years of age vaccination- was not necessary, as the likelihood of their contracting the disease was very slight.
