inoculations for protection against spotted fever within the next few days according to Dean Paul M Dunn of the school of forestry who just received the first shipment of the serum The serum is provided free of charge by the Public Health service of Hamilton Montana and the inoculations will be given without charge by Dr W B Preston college physician The spotted fever is caused by the bite of certain wood ticks and is very serious often causing death While the fever is not prevalent in the Utah section the precaution is a good safeguard Three inoculations are given to the persons taking the treatment for the first time while only two “shots” are necessary for those that were treated previously The period of immunity set up by the inoculation is about one year In the past most of the forestry students have taken the treatments Dean Dunn said while this year many students in the schools of engineering and agriculture are taking this precaution Five Of Original 139 Present Five of
