THt three scourges
OF fAAN
"A" Devastating epidemics have ranked with war
and famine as population levelers. Of these
three scourges of man, pestilence was most
dreaded. During the Black Plague epidemic Of
1348, it was estimated that in some places OYer
two-thirds of the population was wiped oat.
The discovery of bacteria as the cause of in
fectious disease is still within the memory of the
living. Pasteur developed the first vaccine for rabies in 1885.
Since that time many immunizing procedures have become
routine. As a consequence, deaths from infectious diseases
have been drastically reduced.
Evervone should be protected against smallpox and diph
them, .is an absolute minimum. Do not wait for an epidemic
to break out. Then it is often too late.
