Pusaled by , the alarming increase in the number of cases of diphtheria and the mounting death rate from that cause despite the constant activ ity of the department, State Health Offlver W. S. Rankin has addressed a letter to every physician In the State asking their co-operation in de termining the cause and In making treatment effective. f , From 1919 to 192 J the number of cases In the State has Increased from 3,619 to 8,136 and the death rate has Increased from 242 to 608. Health authorities are unable to fathom the reason, although It has been consid ered from every angle. . Dr. Rankin has , determined to enlist the aid of the medical fraternity, and to ask the people df the State to observe special vigilance ' In treating the disease. For the past four years the num ber ot cases . haa begun to swing sharply upward in August, Increas ingly steady until December when It begins to decline. While the dis ease Is prevalent at all seasons, It is practically dormant during May, June and July. Health officials are unable to explain the reason since It iinot primarily a aeasbnal malady. . Dr. George M. Cooper, assistant secretary of the State Board of Health and editor of the Bulletin, hat assem bled all this data, on the' subject avail able In the vital statistics tor the past four years, but frankly confesses that he is unable to arrive at any con-' elusion that gets anywhere In thai treatment ot the disease. He Is baf fled by Us prevalence and increasing fatality. , . Twenty-nine counties having whole time health departments were taken on one conjecture, and the death rate In those counties waa worked but -6.25 deaths per hundred, cases while the rate In 71 counties' not having whole time health officers was 9.29 deaths per hundred cases. The aver age for the entire -State was 7.66 per hundred. Half the population In the State live in the 29 counties. ' Mortality percentages vary widely In the various counties. In a few of the counties, and with relatively small numbers of cases, . the death r,.e has been M nJgh per C8nt while In other counties, with a large number of cases, the death fate, hat dropped as low as 1.6 per cent But Dr. Cooper and Dr. Rankin frankly declare they are unable to fathom it, and are calling upon the medical men of the State to come In and help solve the problem. One reason my He in faulty diag nosis, sbme doctors believe, and the delay in administering toxin anti toxin in the earlier stages of the disease, when recovery could be as sured by treatment The State dur ing the past year sent -out thousands ot treatments tree of charge to doc tors everywhere, and it is supposed that the treatment was generally used. The department will Institute an intensive campaign against the dis ease during the coming month in an effort to stay its progress when August and the upward swing sets Ini Widespread igilanc In detecting the. disease, and In the. use of the treat ment made available by the State Lab oratory of Hygiene, will be maintain ed. Dr. Rankin hopes that the malady will be checked before It reaches Its former high levels. Opening the schools in August and September has been advanced bT some doctors as the cause of the (.spread of the disease, but It has hot been definitely established that this is 'the cause of the spread.
