Abstract

The article presents information about new developments related to politics, business and health care in several countries. The Philadelphia Record, a paper having a very large circulation, publishes a new railroad story about Mr. James Blaine, U.S. statesman, which, it says, comes from an officer of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad Company. The situation of business in the U.S. is more encouraging than it has been at any time during the present year, but this result has been achieved rather by a lessening of the means of production than by increased demand. The latest information received respecting the course of the cholera in Europe indicates that the disease, if not diminishing, is certainly not progressing in a manner to give new grounds for alarm.

Abstract

The article cites a study that compares two control measures for enteric infections such as typhoid and cholera in public health practice in the U.S. The most important of these measures are sanitation and immunization, or combination of these in varying proportions. There is need for strict quantitative measurement of the inputs and outputs in terms of improvements in health and the economy of the community. Based on researchers' analysis, it has been shown that in the control of these infections, sanitation has the most important role to play. Sanitation has a cumulative effect which is not the case with vaccination.
