"The typhus epidemic in Ser-'
bia," stated Dr. Strong, "began
last January in the vicinity of
Vallievo, following the Austrian
invasion of the month before,
and spread with such rapidity
that it became the greatest epi
demic of that disease recorded in
modern medical annals.
The epidemic reached its height
in the middle of April just as the
American mission arrived. New
cases then numbered 1,101 daily,
but It must be remembered that
these wers the figures only of
the victims who came to the
military hospitals. Berbla had
not been able even to keep sta
tistics of the victims among the
civil population and so the above
figures give, as a matter of fact,
no accurst 9 idea of the extent ot
the epidemic.
Death Totul IIM»,(MIU.
"In fact, few figures of any
kind are to be had, but presum
ably the total deaths from the
epidemic have been about 100,-'
000 and the number of victims
down with tlie disease at ths
time we took charge was very
likely of equal magnitude.
"But by the middle of August
1 think 1 will be able to guar
antee that typhus will be a thing
of the past in Serbia. Not only
thut, but we would be greatly dis
appointed if it ever came again.
"As a result of our four
months' work here, 1 think i can
safely say that Serbia Is a re
generated nation from a sanitary
point of view, and the effects
of this I feel certain will be re
flected ln her national life and
development for years to come."
