TYPHOID VACCINE
ABSOLUTE PRE-
CAUTION
The State Board of Health is planning
a systematic campaign of the state to
administer typhoid vaccine as a pre-
caution against the spread of typhoid
fever, it was announced yesterday by
Dr. A. R. Lewis, State Health Commis-
sioner.
According to Commissioner Lewis,
immunization against typhoid should
be as common as voccination against
smallpox.
"That this form of treatment is an
absolute prevention against typhoid has
been abundantly demonstrated^" said
Dr. Lewis.
"During the Spanish-American war
hundreds of soldiers died, in fact, more
were killed from this disease than in
battle. Druing our recent war the first
thing that happened to a man when he
got into camp was inocculation against
typhoid, and no deaths from this cause
have thus far been reported,even though
there have been hundreds of thousands
of men in camns where formerly there
were hundreds.'
Typhoid is not now as prevalent as
it once was, this being due to the im-
munization that has already geen car-
ried out. but it is nevertheless a men-
ace liable to break out every summer
and fall, and in view of the fact that
it could be stamped out entirely steps
to that end should certainly be taken.
"This campaign is being launched for
the benefit of the citizen of the en-
tire state, and will be carried on rigid-
ly to entirely stamp out typhoid fever."
