Army and Navy "" Work;' In Harness Together and V Health . Brigade - is Right ' ; MOn tie Job. Washington, ' Dec 15." Dri-. Rupert Blue, surgeon ' general- of the United States army, : in ' a communication to the National Geographic society, re-: veals -some of the methods , employed by .the government to "protect the J health of -the-new national army while it was, being .assembled at the various cantonments and during . tis period of training. The following excerpt from the communication is issued by the National Geographic society as a war geography bulletin: "n order to attack an enemy, it is necessary to know where that enemy is. One of the-functions of the public health service is to collect data relat ing to the prevalence of communica ble disease, in order that sanitarians throughout , the United States: may know what' diseases to guard against. These reports are received daily from all-parts : of the. United" States, and,' in addition, American consuls through out the world keep the public health service informed as to the sanitary conditions prevailing-at-the points at which they are stationed. . This latter information is used in the operation of-the ' maritime quarantines. Once a week this material is published in the public health reports, and s thus made available for immediate use. As soon as war was declared an ar rangement was made wit hthe surgeon general of the army and the-surgeon general of the navy , whereby they were forwarded dally a-: complete re sume of ihe -reports received by- the public, health service. It soon became evident, however, that in the adminis tration of the extra cantonment zones it .'was necessary to establish a series of i model sickness 4 registration areas, so- that prompt and effective steps might be taken to stamp out diseaes among the civilian "population before it-had opportunity to spread to troops or- to ain a foothold in the extra can tonment community.- ;'-".- "Each officer in charge was. there fore, Instructed to - make all necessary arrangements with the physicians within' his zone, to report immediately air casest of certain communicable dis eases occurring in theirpractice. Card forms and franked envelopes were supplied them for forwarding, this in- ! formation. A ' similar arrangement was made with the undertakers to check up those cases whichrdled with out, medical attendance or 'In which a report had not beerT- made. ' A recipro cal' daily' interchange" of information regarding the occurrence of communi cable 'diseases -in the 'cantonment and in' the extra cantonment zone was ar ranged " with the sanitary officer in charge of the camp. . The information received of disease occurrence among troops is regarded as confidential and is used only as a means of checking up diseases in the surrounding area. - - "All - of the data collected in- this way is summarized ' in a" morning re port' and f forwarded to ' the public health service bureau in Washington. J nere it is careruiiy- spottea on maps and- collected -into one. daily ? report, copies 'of which - are- forwarded to the medical departments - of the "army and the navy. - - .- -' "The value of this service-' cannot be overstated. It was - reported," for ex ample, that an epidemic of 'typhoid fe ver had -broken'- out at . a city- from which 100 drafted men-were about to depart to a cantonment in a neighbor ing" state. There were about 15 new cases each day, and two cases occurred among .the drafted men. ''Immediately - the laboratory car Wyman, with its full complement of officers and meru was dispatched to that point. All - water, "supplies, ice cream and -milk -are carefully investi gated. ' The source of the epidemic from a .leaky, storage Teservoir was discovered, a - chlorination plant was installed while- repairs were being made, and -the outbreak, promptly snuffed out. In the --meantime, the surgeon general of the-army ordered the drafted men held' until' their vac cination against typhoid should have been completed. "During this period it was possible to discover other infect ed individuals.' Thus, not. onjy were measures taken ' for the prevention ' of the 'introduction, of typhoid -fever into a .cantonment, .. but, what is perhaps even more important, infected individ uals - were prevented from - traveling interstate and spreading Jthe disease among civilian communities. - "In July, a typhoid fever epidemic broke, out in, the" immediate vicinity of an army post at .which some 12,000 so.ldiers were stationed. A survey de veloped the fact that' the sewage dis posal system in the city's -civil com munity was primitive and the water supply, extremely insanitary. There was no local health code; the milk supply was uncontrolled and, the scav enging system extremely bad. . "Operations were immediately be gun. The bad conditions obtaining at the pumping station, settling basing, and reservoirs were corrected; plans were put in force for the extension of the sewer and "water mains; the food depots were put in a sanitary condition; the .dairies were inspected; epidemiological investigations were mide of the cases of. typhoid fever; over 4,000 people ' were vaccinated against the disease in the first week of ' operations; the medical inspection of school children was instituted, and the entire community placed upon a sanitary basis which it never knew before and which it will probably nev er forget. ... ."At another place, which" is visited weekly by severkl thousand officers and enlisted men; of the army, there was an explosive outbreak of typhoid fever. The death rate was high. The bulk 'oil. the cases were traced to . a single ice-cream factory. Several oc curred 'among persons who had 'been vaccinated 'against typhoid fever. . "This simply ..means that while these individuals were protected against the aose or typhoid bacilli - which they would ordinarily receive from infect ed water, in this instance the dose in the vice cream was 't so- massive, as to zens.
