 Africa vaccination against typhoid fever was em- 

 ployed for thousands of soldiers and for many nurses, 

 the results being fairly successful. Wonderful re- 

 sults were obtained in our own Army during the ma- 

 neuvers of 1911 at San Antonio, and again in Texas 

 City in 1913, where thousands of soldiers were 

 vaccinated. In 1911, 12,800 men were in camp for 

 four months, and only one case of typhoid fever 

 occurred, and at the present time (January, 1914) 

 no cases have thus far occurred among the troops 

 assembled in Texas.
