In the Czar's army, vaccination against typhoid was forbidden. The Soviet government introduced a program for regular im- munization of the civilian as well as military population and at the same time established sanitation and food control. Millions used to die every year from typhus in the old days. The 1914 war was followed by the blockade, inter- ventions, civil war, famine, scarcity of fuel and soap, and a broken down transportation system. These factors helped to spread the infection to an unparalleled extent, The Czarist re- gime had provided no hospital facil- ities for typhus p"atients.

THE SOVIET UNION CONTROLS EPIDEMICS Among the striking contrasts be- tween Czarist Russia and the Soviet Union is the health of the population, Old Russia was notorious for its un- controlled epidemics, particularly in time of war. During the present war it is reported there have been no epidemics in the Soviet-controlled areas, In the last war, more Russians were killed by typhus, the disease of poverty and dirt, than by enemy gunfire. Typhoid fever, dysentery, smallpox, trachoma, cholera, plague were -as common as rainfall, These diseases were accepted as a natural part of life, Children died like flies and so . did women in childbirth. The supersti- tious regarded epidemics as a ptfnish- meat from Divine Providence The Soviet • government began in 1918 to organize public health services. But their application on a broad scale was delayed by the civil wars and in- tervention which followed the World War. It was not until the beginning of the Five-Year plan in ' 1928 that satisfactory coverage of public health measures was begun, It is therefore a remarkable achieve- ment that in less than two decades the Soviet health authorities.reported complete elimination of smallpox cholera and plague, and that they brought Under tontrel typhoid, typhus and other diseases that were rampant in old Russia, An article in, the rob. ruary -issue of the Medea& Review of Soviet Medicine details some of the government was the provision of .2150,- 000 beds for .typhus patients. It set up an extensive network of stations for observation, isolation, and disin- fection, Millions of pamphlets, leaf- lets and posters were distributed in all. languages of the U.S.S.R. Hundreds of thousands of volunteers were enlist- e d in the wa r against typhus. Slogans. were broadcast and "bathing weeks" instituted. The government allotted generous funds for this work and typhus has been no problem in this war,. Diphtheria and measles have receiv- ed special attention by research and practising -public health workers, Both these diseases of childhood have been brought under complete control, Im- munization against diphtheria is com, pulsory for all children between the ages of one and eight; In 1940 10,- 000,000 children were immunized against diphtheria. During the war, the public health centres all over the country have conducted a program of re-immunization and, research workers are searching for a more effective preparation which would require less frequent injections. Measles used to strike at Millions of children in old Russia. It no longer threatens that many. Soviet medical workers began to use anti-measles serum when it became safe and by 1931 the use of such serum became obligatory throughout -the U.S.S.R. In 1940 alone, 1,241,000 children were immunized against measles. The in- oculations- are given free to all chil- dren. "The aim," it is stated in the Soviet health report, "is to raise the age of measles patients, and create an immunity by developing an abortive form of the disease. Soviet scientists are now searching for methods of active immunization against measles. Some experiments have yielded en- couraging results, (The above article appeared on the editorial page of the Toronto Daily Star, March 14, 1945.)
