Again a Japanese

The probable conquest of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, a peculiar disease, the microbe of which is transmitted by the wood tick, and which is practically confined to Montana, Idaho and other northwestern states, is forecast by the discovery of a protective vaccine against the disease by Dr. Hideyo Noguchi, the distinguished Japanese pathologist of the Rockefeller Institute, who, in collaboration with Dr. Simeon B. Wolbaeh, of Harvard Medical School, has been studying the fever at Hamilton, Montana, for several months. Nine Japanese of Missoula voluntarily submitted to injections of the vaccine, although warned that its effects might be serious.
