SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 1914.
NO EXCUSE FOR TYPHOID.
The reports of the success of vac
cination against typhoid in the army
and navy have been supplemented
by the records of the Maryland hos
pital for the insane at Sykesville.
Before 1911 typhoid was constantly
present among the inmates and each
fall there were from ten to fifty cases,
with from two to twenty death#.
In June, 1911, vaccinations were
begun and the typhoid cases for the
ensuing autumn were reduced to
three, one a nurse who had refused
to be vaccinated, one an attendant
who was employed after June, and
the other a patient received in July.
In June, 1912, the patients received
in the last year, 426 in all, were vac
cinated. Not one of these contracted
typhoid, nor did any of those vaccin
ated in 1911. In 1913 all the new pa
tients, 572 in number, were vaccin
ated. There were three cases of ty
phoid, two in patients who were pass
ed because they reported they had
had typhoid and one in a patient who
had shown little response to the vac
cination of the previous year. In all
there have been 1,888 vaccinations at
the institution since June, 1911, and
only one of the persons so vaccinated
has had typhoid. That typhoid is still
epidemic at Sykesville is shown by
the fact that among the small num
ber of patients and attendants who
have escaped vaccination there have
been five cases of the disease. In
brief, every inmate of the hospital
has probably been exposed to the in
fection, and yet only one out of the
1,888 vaccinated has contracted the
disease.
In the United Staets army the sur- |
peon general’s reports from 1909 to j
1912 show the following number of j
cases and deaths from typhoid fever: j
Year Cases Deaths j
1909 173 10|
1910 142 10
1911 09 8
1912 27 4
1913 O' 01
(First six months.)
These statistics include not only the j
mainland of our country, but Alaska,
the Philippines, Panama, Porto Kico
and Hawaii. Moreover, there were no
deaths as the result of vaccination
and no one was even incommoded by
illness from the latter cause. Yet in
the period covered by the tabular
view of the army increa ed in num
bers from about 69,000 to more than
83,000.
The surgeon general declares it as
his belief that because of the protec
tion given by anti-typhoid vaccina
tion “typhoid fever will cease to be a
scourge to the army in the fnture.”
These records would only indicate
that there can be an edidemie of ty
phoid only where the authorities fail
to employ methods of preventing it.

There Is every probability that the
matter of exporting live fur-bearing
animals from Yukon will be given at
tention at the coming meeting of the
Yukon council. While such exporta
tion may not be wholly forbidden, it
will certainly be regulated, certain re
strictions being necessary if the ter
ritory is to continue as a fur produc
ing country.
The Humboldt will be back on the
