Many fall by the wayside. Those who .survive to : maturity, though often seriously bat| tie-scarred, enjoy protection In varying degrees from those infections that have prevailed in communities in which they have lived. Resistance Is acquired through frequent contacts with disease. What is true of individuals is true also of families, nationalities and the larger racial groups. Through long experience with certain diseases they have built up resistances that,have gradually become a part of the equipment handed down to their descendents. But individuals and populations are lacking in defense against diseases to which they have never been exposed. Whple communities have been wiped out by. the introduction of w new disease. With us, for -example, measles* is a comparatively mild disease because we have had it for so long a time that a certain degree of protection has become hereditary. But the people of the South Sea Islands, among whom this disease was unknown until modern times, were- killed oflM.n large numbers by an epidemic of it started by a visiting vessel. The power that the human body has to protect itself against infection is called immunity, and is one of the fundamental ' properties. of- aH living organisms." However it is not possessed by all in like degree, nor does .immunity to one disease imply safety with regard to others. A person may be immune to diphtheria but highly susceptible to typhoid fever, or vice versa. Immunity may vary in degree, in duration, and in many other ways, -ft-mny-bTr-stroiVg 6r~wealc7 brief or lasting, natural or acquired, passive or active, family or racial, etc. Acquired immunity may bo secured either by having, an attack of the disease or by the use of vaccines and serums. Passive immunity is obtained by introducing into the blood antitoxin produced.in the bod? of another animal, usually a hojse or sheep, and is generally of shor?'?duration. Active immunity result* from the introduction into the body of a substance that -stimulates it to manufacture its pwn antitoxin and other germ fighting properties and is more or less -permanent. Examples uf thtg kind of substance are the vaccines for sraallPox, typhoid fever and rabies, and toxin-antitoxin for diphtheria. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," and it is Always the best policy to "lock the stable door before the horse is stolen." ? Col Charles A.
