Mrs. Smith also issues a timely
warning to parents with regard
to having their children immunized
against diphtheria. She says:
"We have had recently several
Jeaths in the state caused by
Jiphthcria. How long before we

no one knows. We have numbers
of children in the county
Detween the age of 6 months and

If you are in the group that have
lot had your child take toxoid
[ am advising that you see your
family doctor, or call in your
county nurse, and see that your
:hild is protected against this
iread diseases. Toxoid is a safe
procedure, and it does not hurt
the child; to neglect getting this
jone may cause you many years

hours of suffering.
