Something About Immunity
Throughout life and especially during
the years of childhood and youth,
i we fight a running battle with
disease, receiving thrusts, more or less
severe, as we advance. 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."
