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.
