but I couldn't see why it would be there. 

The column heading asks ... How induced. Climate is a commonly found response to that question on army medical forms.

Having the colon after Rem is curious though ....

I think the colon simply signifies that the word has been abbreviated. I do quite a bit of transcribing of old documents and a colon is frequently used in this way. If I'm incorrect Bookbox will put me on the right track  :)

Thanks Jen. I was expecting a list or something after the colon.  :) An abbreviation makes more sense.

Thanks to all! Do you folks never sleep? :) I just woke up and here in Canada and as usual, you've come through with an answer! It looks very reasonable to be. Moderate-climate-quinine-rec

Just what I said Spices (#12)    :)   I agree.

- and no it wouldn't.  Antibiotics weren't around until much later -  during or soon after WWII I think.  I know my Aunt was still using Sulphonamides in WWII
