Abstract

Highlights

We welcome very heartily the communications which have appeared in the press relative to the subject of inoculation against typhoid fever. These are the very agencies which are needed for the education and establishment of a strong public opinion in the community, and it is mainly on such an opinion that, in the present juncture, the practice must rest for support
The question of compulsion on one side, and recognising the strong evidence there is in favour of the practice of anti-typhoid inoculation, it is well to consider by what means the education of those immediately concerned may be effected
To gain the officers is to gain much. Let these be in a position to say, and to show by example, that they believe in the protective value of anti-typhoid inoculation, and there jwill be abundant followers among their men

Summary

Introduction

We welcome very heartily the communications which have appeared in the press relative to the subject of inoculation against typhoid fever. These are the very agencies which are needed for the education and establishment of a strong public opinion in the community, and it is mainly on such an opinion that, in the present juncture, the practice must rest for support. Voices are heard which claim the power of the State and the force of compulsion.
