V Diptheria: Diptheria ' is a
highly infectuous, contagious and
profoundly toxic (poisons) dis
ease of childhood, due to the Kla
Baffler bacillus, or germ (named
- after the discoverers), character
; ized by the development of a false
membrane in the nasal cavity, in
the post-nasal cavity and in the
' throat. It usually develops. on the
mucus membrane of these parts.
, The disease is spread by direct
contract, contaguity (cough dis
"diminution), clothing, drinking
( utensils, iencils, school intolcs.
aim intermediaries such as pat
ents, nurses and physicians. Al
so -fond stuffs, pet cats and dogs
room or street dust may convey
it. We ti t not believe that a
perfectly , healthy child will
contract the disease, but an a
cute cold, cmi eating or" some
other disease' may lower the in
sistence of ihe mucous' membra ue:
of, the nose and ihroat, allowing
the germs to gain a foot hold.
It will be imposible lo ive

of the disease, sim'e many cases

other hand what appears to be a

and the ILi'oaf, inay prove upon

ts always soi-i throat and what
- is far more important as e r
ly sign, enlargement of the
glands at tle angle of i!n jaw.
A true membrane of dipihei-ia is
grey or drab tmorise color), du
ty and usually shaggv and if ie
moved loaves raw bleedwig sur
face. One prominent medical
authority says, "Membranous
croup has properly been shelved
by "modern melhods of . diagnosis
and replaced by laryngeal
(throat) . diptheria which in !)!)
per cent of such cases is the
proper descriptive term."
We do not wish to discuss, the
"treatment of diptheria, but al
ways advise 'Hie faculty to call
t a competent physician, and a-
bide. 'by his decision. We will
say this much,' however, in ror
gard to treatment that should
you suspect that one of your chil
" dren has diptheria you can . do
these things until the. physician
arrives: First get the childs feet
warm by giving a hot foot bath
and put him to bed v ith hot wa
ter bottles" to his feet. After
you have equalized the circu
lation give a high recital injec
tion or enema to cleanse the bow
els. Next you may clea;i, out
the month and the throat with
some antiseptic solution such as
listerine, glycothj-nioline. or if
you haven't these you may use
white vinegar (not too strong)
or a solution of salt.. T get
these down in the throat, pre
pare a' swab by wrapping a small
stick with soft cloth. It is wise
to have on band, Sehiiessler s el
ements for diptheria, and if a
physician cannot be' had prompt
ly, use tli en t vigorously. ,
As to whether immunizing
treatment. may be given the ot her
members of Ihe family, must be
left to the decision of the pat
ents, aild the attending physi
cian,. ' v
According to the bulletin .'of
mortality statistics, for the year
1910 the death rate from dip
theria was 21.4 per 100.000.pop
ulation. being an increase ..over
the proceeding year, which was
20.4. EvenwTtii the use of an
titoxin, which we are told is a
specific, diptheria continues to
cause about twice as many
deaths as either measles, scarlet
fever, or whooping cough. - .
