The Idolatry of Science 



thoroughly analysed and criticized : but 

 they leave no room to doubt the value of 

 the protective treatment. 



" There are other germs, very similar 

 to the germs of typhoid fever, and pro- 

 ducing a very similar fever, which is called 

 paratyphoid fever. It has been suggested, 

 by some foolish people, that the figures 

 given above are worthless, because typhoid 

 fever and paratyphoid fever are so often 

 confused. This suggestion is false. If 

 the cases of paratyphoid fever are added 

 to the cases of typhoid fever, the annual 

 admission, among the non-protected, is 

 1 1 -3 per 1000. Among the protected 

 it is 3 per 1000. The death-ratio among 

 the non-protected is 1-90 per 1000. 

 Among the protected it is -09 per 1000." 



This is the kind of nonsense that satisfies 

 men of Science and their gaping disciples.
