ARMY MEDICAL WORK.
LOW RATE OF SICKNESS. VALUE OF INOCULATION. (Received April 26, 2.30 am.) London, April 25. The official " Eye-witness," with the troops at the front, pays a tribute to the army medical service, which maintains a low sickness rate. He mentions that during the Nile campaign there were more cases of typhoid in two bridages in eight months than there have been in the whole British Army during the present war to date. The mobile bacteriological laboratories have proved a great success in detecting germ carriers. Inoculation has proved the surest defence against typhoid and other diseases.
