( THE Some Things You Want to Know The Spread of Vaccination 'ho use of vacel of t ton in e phold fover serves i of the prevention eat debt It owes to K who learned the v milkmatd, 116 years He first proved the correctness of his theory by inoculat- 1ng Tittle Phipps, the first humnan belng who was ever vaccinated, and then exposing him to patients a smallpox hospital. The discoverer took other means 10 thoroughly test the treatment before he recommended 1t o the world While there are those who still doubt the efficacy of vaccination, its value Is really a8 well attested as anything can be proven short of a multiplication table. The ex perience of the Philadeiphia Munieipal horpital, but one Instance of thousands, might be clted. Although 9000 cases were treated there during a term of years, not a single physiclan, nurse or attendant who had been properly vaccinated contracted the disease. Of 3,00 cases treated during one outbreak, not a single case was of a person had been vaccinated within the recognized term of years. Durlng the progress of the epldemic it became sary to have additlonal quarters, and a large force of carpenters were employed. Only two of the workmen had not been vaccinated within a proper length of time, and only these two contracted the disease Vacelnation for typhoid fever, though based on something of a different prin- clple, s somewhat like that of smallpox. In smallpox the live germs of cowpox, re- garded as the animal form of the human Aiscase, are used. In vaccinating against typhold, the dead getms of typhold Itself are used. The germs are gathered and then cultivated in bouillon. When multiply by the millions they are suddenly stricken dead. The subject to be vac- cinoted then Nas 500,000,000 of these dead germs put into his blood. If your house were Infected by dead bodles, you can Imagine that it would not be very habit- able. 8o it is with the typhold germs. The dead bodles of their fellows lying around i profuston make ttractive for them.

After that there is practically no chance for the live microbes to survi because of the that develops. But In order to make as- Surance absolutely certain, some practi- tioners recommend the third vaccination. After this the typhold germ is certainly réndered harmless.

While they do not relate directly to vaccination, they do throw much light on the subject which will be helpful in the study of vaceinatjon for | fever. For instance, they will afford a study of the recurrence of typhold in in- dividuals, which s one of the points of interest in the possibilities of Immunity from typhold. In this report over 68,000 cases were tabulated, covering the health office records of the city for eleven and a half years. It shows the remarkable and surprising fact that typhold is not, after all, a summer dise It reached its high- est point In the month of February, dur- ing which month there were 9,113 cases, Its lowest stage was in July, when there 993 cases. March had the second highest record, and January, April and May ulso show upward of 8,000 cases. Sep- tember s the highest mopth of the heated term, with 56,06 cases.
