INOCULATION FOR ENTERIC.
179 PROTECTive value` IN THE BRITISK ARMY.
The May number of the journal of the Royal Army Medical Corps contains three highly important articles ou the subject of protective inoculation against typhoid fever. The fr t two of them, by Brerst Lieutenant-Colonel W. B. Leishman and Major W. S. Harrieva, both of the R.A.M.C, are chiefly of a technical oharacter; but the third, by Liantenant E. J. H. Luxinoore, R.A.M.C., contain an account of an outbreak of typhoid fever among the 17th Lancers, a Mesrat, and of the effects of inooultion in controlling it, which will appeal to all who are capable of appreciating facts.
The regiment left Scotland for Indis og Sep. tember 6. 1945; its total strength, including wives and children, being 593. Of this number, 150 persons were inoculated against typhoid hy Lieutenant Luzmeore silber before embarcation or daring the voyage, but 3 out of the 150 refused to submit to the second inoculation; which they were warned wes necess Ty in order to afford them the greatest attainable security.
On December 2nd, in the same year a draft of the regiment, in all 96 strong, disembarked at Bombay and joined beadquarters. Some of the men in this draft had been inoculated before a rival, but the precise number was not kunwn
