...against typhus fever. Surgeon Rolla Eugene Dyer, U.S. P. H. S., after letting rat fleas feed on his leg, last year produced a vaccine efficacious against the mild, flea-borne typhus which occurs along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts (TIME, Nov. 7, et ante). Harvard's Professor Hans Zinsser has been developing a vaccine and serum against the louse-carried, virulent type of typhus which constantly threatens to invade the U. S. from Eastern Europe and Mexico. Last week Harvard reported that the Zinsser serum works, that Mexican health authorities are inoculating the populace with Zinsser serum in hope...

...Hans Zinsser, professor of bacteriology at the Harvard Medical School, announced recently before the Society of American Bacteriologists the results of his experiments in typhus fever immunization. This report, coming from one of the leading scientists of the country indicates that the disease is now under control and is regarded as one of the most important contributions to medicine during the past year...
...Zinsser stated in a paper read before about 200 members of the society in the sectional session of medical bacteriology, immunology, and comparative pathology that he had succeeded in isolating the "Rickettsia bodies of Mooser." the germ that takes millions of lives through the disease, typhus fever. He described experiments in which he had grown large numbers of the germ in pure culture, thereby producing a vaccine which has successfully immunized animals from the fever...
...experimentations necessary to In his final analysis, Zinsser reported a series of experiments which, "while not 100 per cent successful demonstrate unambiguously that active immunization with formol killed Rikettsia (dead virus) will sometimes immunize completely, and when it does not do this will modify the disease in the direction of greater mildness...
