TYPHUS, WAR'S DREAD ALLY, BEATEN; News of Dr. Harry Plotz's Vaccine Discovery Comes When Europe Faces Awful Ravages from Scourge. April 18, 1915 The announcement of the discovery of a protective vaccine against typhus fever, the dreadful scourge that dogs the heels of war, following closely upon the confirmation of the germ origin of the disease by repeated demonstrations of a distinct causative agent visible under the microscope, is but another instance of the accuracy of modern laboratory methods and the continual progress of medical science. select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F20C1EFE385C1373...

Another copy, at archive.org/stream/etiologyoftyphus00plotrich#page/n1/mod... indicates that "The etiology of typhus exanthematicus" was first published in July 1915 in the Journal of Infectious Diseases. Authors were Harry Plotz, George Baehr, and Peter K. Olitsky.

Plotz, a bacteriologist at Mount Sinai Hospital, developed a typhus vaccine that was widely used during WWI.

A photo in similar attire was featured in the NYT pictorial section of May 2, 1915, page 8 memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/np_item.pl?collection=sgproto&... or memory.loc.gov/service/sgp/sgpnyt/1915/191505/19150502/00...
