In this paper we have tried to present what we considered pertinent statistical data concerning 4,762 reported cases of endemic typhus fever occurring during the period 1932 to 1938 in Georgia. From the facts presented it is evident:
Epidemiological investigations are essential to the control of any disease. This statement is as true of typhus as it is of typhoid. Anyone should understand the futility of applying control measures without knowing from whence a disease is spreading. In typhus control such practice is not only expensive but will defeat its purpose.
