Want lo l)o vnceinnted against ty phoid Well, if yon do, the United Slates government has inndo it pos Hihlu for vou to ho treated and with out ill effect either to yo.Y health or lo your pooketbook. Unoli! Sam is making a concerted at tempt to cheek typhoid throughout his domain, where some '10,000 deaths oecur from this disease an nually out of Homo 500,000 eases. In order to do this the war depart ment has sent nil of its retired army physician a quantity of vaccine with instructions to vneciuale such persons as earov for it, frco of ennrge. Dr. K. II. Porter in this citv has receied a considerahlo quantity of the vaccine and has vaccinated a number of persons nlrendy. In 1808 the first vaccinations for tvphoid was practiced by Major Wright of the Knglish army with ex cellent success. When the lloer war conimencedUhc,ro.werq.J0,0G9v.Ki)tf lish soldiers accinnted, and anions this uuiabor there wore 220 cases ol typhoid, 1 in 81.4 men, with a mor tality of Hi) denths, a mortality oi 17 per cent. Anions l.r)0,2.'ll unvnc cinatcd .soldiers there were .'17.'W cases, or 1 in -10, while the death rate was 2."i per cent. The-u statistics alone aro suffi cient to prove the value of typhoid vaccination. In the American nnnv I here have been some ."(), 000 vaccin ations with a marked reduction in the number of oases of typhoid dur ing the past five, years. Typhoid vaccination, unlike that for smallpox, produces no ill ef feels, no sore arms, no days of ill ness. About 12 to II hours after the. vaccination there is a slight headache with elevation of temper alure. This is the only ill effects ever producud. As the vaccine is furnished by the go eminent without cost, there will lie no ehaijjo made for the Mieciuu-liou.
