Daily Dozen from Medical Society of Pennsylvania
Typhus fever has killed 200,000,000 persons in all pandemics on record. The body louse carries the germ of typhus. This childish insect aided in the defeat of Napoleon. No great typhus epidemic has appeared in Europe in this war. The American and British armies have an effective serum against typhus. Medical science can check pestilence. It has checked yellow fever, bubonic plague and typhus. Wars stimulate medical research and imports of medicines are cut off during wars. After this war Americans will enjoy a higher standard of health.
