MEDICAL PROSPECTS OF HITLER’S WAR Until the time of the World War ; the fatalities from disease were vastly greater than those caused by the en emy. In the Boer War the British deaths from typhoid fever alone were much greater than from the bullets of the notable fighters of the veldt. In .the Great War the death from typhoid fever and other infections were negligible. This was due to the preventive precautions taken by the Allied forces. Inoculation ' against smallpox, typhoid fever and tetanus as well as better treatment of wounds served to minimize the fatalities. Many men, seriously wounded, were again and again returned to the trenches. In the Hitler War the medical forc es are looking forward to an even better prospect. iMen as regards their original fitness, are being more care fully selected. Preventive measures will be intensified and surgery has advanced in a remarkable fashion in the last 25 yeaers. Pneumonia, the world’s fourth kill er for many years, has in civil life been reduced in mortality from 25 to 8%. The more univerasl use of dagen- an (sulfapyridine) will doubtless further lessen the falatity from affection. Tetanus, always a danger to wounded man, may now be prevented •by the Use of tetanus toxiod, supple mented by the army practice of the liberal use of tetanus antitoxin.
